A Legend of Second Empire Grandeur
An Unrivaled Parisian Icon Since 1862
Commanding an incomparable position directly opposite the architectural marvel of the Palais Garnier on Place de l'Opéra, InterContinental Paris Le Grand has embodied the quintessential spirit of Parisian luxury for over 160 years.
Inaugurated in May 1862 by Empress Eugénie and Napoleon III, this legendary palace was designed by Alfred Armand as the pinnacle of European hospitality. Masterfully reimagined by celebrated French interior architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, the hotel's 455 rooms and 90 suites reflect the supreme elegance of grand Parisian apartment living with custom opera-inspired furnishings, antique soaking tubs, and Juliet balconies offering front-row vistas of the Opéra Garnier and Eiffel Tower.
Step through the gilded doors of the historic Café de la Paix—a classified French monument where Oscar Wilde, Guy de Maupassant, and Émile Zola once gathered—or relax beneath the magnificent 800-square-meter glass conservatory atrium of La Verrière for afternoon tea and champagne.
