It may come as a bit of a surprise to find a country house hotel on a quiet street so close to the Champs-Elysées, but the Hotel Francois 1er offers this unique experience. After a complete renovation, this lovely 4 star hotel provides an informal atmosphere in sumptuous surroundings. Hotel Francois 1er is located in the heart of the famous Golden Triangle district of Paris, near the Champs Elysées, Avenue Montaigne and Avenue Georges. You will admire the breathtaking details specially designed by Pierre Yves Rochon, a prominent French architect. The colorful Mexican marble floor, the beautiful handmade cornices in rooms and public areas, carpets, wall fabrics and the gorgeous furniture are all his personal creation. This "private house" conveys a feeling of a chic Parisian home rather than a traditional hotel.

Accommodation selections include 38 spacious rooms and 2 suites, all lavishly decorated with plush furnishings and luxurious fabrics to convey a feeling of comfort and warmth, even after the busiest of days spent in Paris. All of the hotel rooms at the Hotel François 1er offer deluxe bedding, robes and slippers. Modern services include phones in room and bathroom, voice mail, mini-bar service, satellite TV, and high speed internet access.

Relax in front of the marble fireplace in the peaceful tea room, or join others in the elegant cocktail bar and lounge with winter garden. The restaurant welcomes guests to enjoy a copious breakfast buffet. Should you decide to have a quiet night in, a delicious meal can be ordered through room service.

The Elysées and Magellan conference rooms are ideal for hosting important business gatherings, as well as private cocktail and dinner gatherings.
