  • just steps away from the Champs-Élysées and five minutes from métro
  • excellent seasonal menus at La Table du Lancaster

    Cons

  • size of rooms varies greatly
  • pricey room service

Hôtel Lancaster Review

Once a Spanish nobleman's townhouse, this luxurious retreat is now in French hands and it shows, from local staffing to elegant decoration. A renovation in 2011, Michelin-star restaurant, and lush courtyard garden have updated this historic property built in 1889. Rooms have been redecorated to reflect l'art de vivre in classic French styling, now with crisp linens, ambient lighting, and latest technology. There are more than 1,000 antiques and 18th-century paintings throughout the hotel, as well as the original wood parquet floors, yet you'll also find Bose speakers, iHome docking stations, free Wi-Fi, and double-paned soundproof windows. Salons with traditional French furnishings on the first floor make you feel like you've entered a private bourgeois mansion. The Marlene Dietrich suite (#401), where the actress once lived, has its own grand piano and DVDs of her films. The compact fitness room has a splendid view of Sacré-Coeur.
