History
Louis XV commissioned Ange-Jacques Gabriel to raise two matching neoclassical palaces on what became Place de la Concorde. The western pair, finished in 1758, was first occupied by Louis Marie Augustin, Duke of Aumont, a patron of the arts. Architect Louis-François Trouard, the second owner, built the Salon des Aigles in 1775. On 6 February 1778 Benjamin Franklin, Silas Deane, and Arthur Lee met diplomat Conrad Alexandre Gérard here to sign the first treaties between France and the United States, recognising American independence and opening trade. Marie Antoinette took music lessons in a salon.
François Félix de Crillon acquired the house in 1788. The Revolutionary government confiscated it in 1791; Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette used it in that period. In 1793 they were guillotined in the square directly in front. The Crillon family later recovered the hôtel and lived there until 1904. Société du Louvre bought it in 1906. Architect Walter-André Destailleur spent two years converting it, adding neighbours on rue Boissy d'Anglas. Hôtel de Crillon opened on 11 March 1909. After the First World War it housed members of the American delegation to the Paris Peace Conference, including Edward House, adviser to President Wilson. From 1992 to 2012 it hosted the Bal des débutantes.
Prince Miteb bin Abdullah bought the hotel in 2010. It closed in March 2013 for a roughly 200 million euro restoration led by Aline Asmar d'Amman, with Tristan Auer, Chahan Minassian, Cyril Vergniol, and Karl Lagerfeld (Les Grands Appartements). Architect Richard Martinet restored the listed façade and grand salons. Rosewood reopened the Crillon on 5 July 2017 with 124 rooms, including the Suite Bernstein for Leonard Bernstein, a former guest.
The setting
Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel, occupies 10 Place de la Concorde in the 8th arrondissement, on the grandest public square in Paris. The neoclassical façade, designed by Ange-Jacques Gabriel and completed in 1758 under Louis XV, has witnessed French history at its most consequential. Guests step onto the axis linking the Tuileries Garden eight minutes on foot east, the Champs-Élysées west, and the Musée d'Orsay 15 minutes south across the river — a position of such urban centrality that no other Paris address commands so many icons from a single vantage point. The Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré lies immediately to the north. 3 km from Eiffel Tower.
