The essence of escape: Inside Rosewood’s finest stays

Sprawling over the fourth floor of the iconic Hôtel de Crillon, Les Grands Appartements capture the essence of refined Parisian elegance while also offering an ode to fashion-forward, ostentatious opulence. Designed by the renowned Karl Lagerfeld, these suites offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais, Musée d’Orsay, Place de la Concorde, and Rue Boissy d’Anglas, positioning you at the city's beating heart and fostering a connection to its daily rhythms. Spanning an impressive 3,600 square feet, the suites feature bespoke furnishings and sumptuous décor, a dining room, and gorgeous dressing rooms.

If you need more proof of the exceptional work that went into creating this suite, you need only look in the bathroom. The bathtub, weighing over two tonnes, was carved from a single slab of Carrara marble. It was lifted through the window using a crane and placed on two blocks of ice, which, as they melted, made it possible for the tub to be put into position without damaging the floor.

For those seeking an even more expansive space, the two suites can be combined, along with an adjoining bedroom, to create a three-bedroom apartment. During your stay, you will be treated to butler service, elevating the feeling of personalisation and ensuring your every wish is expertly catered for.
