Le Royal Monceau-Raffles Paris
Katara Hospitality announced yesterday that its Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris property has been granted the highest hotel ranking in France.
Atout France, the French Agency for Tourism Development has awarded the ‘Palace Distinction’ to the recently redesigned hotel. The ranking is one step higher than five stars, thus positioning Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris in the league of elite hotels in the French capital alongside just six others.
Hamad Abdulla al-Mulla, Chief Executive Officer of Katara Hospitality, said: “Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris is one of the jewels in Katara Hospitality’s portfolio of iconic hotels. The ‘Palace Distinction’ endorses the hospitality legacy created by this hotel through decades of glorious history, unparalleled service standards provided by an enthusiastic team and a glamorous list of guests who lived its spirit over the years.”
Le Royal Monceau–Raffles Paris was reopened in 2010 after a complete transformation under the direction of the renowned designer Philippe Starck.
Katara Hospitality announced the addition of Le Royal Monceau–Raffles Paris to its portfolio in January 2012.
The Palace Commission jury highlighted the exceptional location of the hotel as well as the excellent cooking by Executive Chef Laurent André at ‘La Cuisine’ and ‘Il Carpaccio’.
