Located in a quiet district of Paris, a few steps away from the Champs Elysées, the Hotel Vernet offers an unforgettable stay in the unique and elegant atmosphere of a French mansion.
The lobby, a tasteful Louis XVI decor, landscape paintings and wall mirrors, bouquets of orchids, marble floors with Oriental carpets, and scattered easy chairs is only the beginning of the elegance you will experience at the Hotel Vernet. You will find a cozy English-style bar with a superb selection of whiskeys and Cognacs. Across the lobby is the Salon Bleu, a handsomely decorated room with mirrors and marble paneling, a fireplace that is kept stoked, easy chairs and couches.
It's a lovely place to retire to in the evenings, puff on a cigar and listen to the pianist just beyond the tall arched doorways in the lobby. The room is large enough to accommodate small conferences and is available for private functions or romantic dinners for two. Intimacy is the key. With only 35 tables available for dinner, you will need to make reservations at least a week in advance for the three-hour-plus meal.
The hotel has 57 guest rooms, three of which are small suites and all of which are tastefully decorated, with tall windows, air conditioning and marble-tiled bathrooms with Jacuzzis. All the rooms above the second floor have small balconies. Rooms on the uppermost floors have a view of the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
The Vernet is one of the better kept secrets of Paris, and the cozy atmosphere, beautiful decor, pleasant rooms and accommodating staff make it a favorite among the few who know of its existence. Located just around the corner from many of Paris's most famous fashion houses and boutiques, yet secluded enough to provide some welcomed privacy for tennis players during the French Open and several internationally known pop singers who enjoy the discretion of the staff, the hotel's remove from the hurly-burly of the grand hotels and the excellent location.
Use the Hotel Vernet as your own personal escape in Paris.
