Elegant rooms with a unique panorama

The hotel’s rooms and suites are discreetly refined. Noble materials, soft tones and elegant fabrics create an atmosphere both warm and sophisticated. Every detail is designed to offer comfort and serenity after a day in the capital.

But what makes some rooms truly exceptional is the view. Facing the Opéra Garnier, the panorama is spectacular.

In the evening, when the lights illuminate the sculptures and gilding, the scene becomes almost magical. To sleep here is to experience Paris at its most theatrical and romantic.

A historic address in the heart of imperial Paris

The history of the InterContinental Paris Le Grand dates back to the Second Empire. The hotel opened its doors in 1862, as part of the transformation of Paris orchestrated by Baron Haussmann. From the outset, it became a landmark of Parisian life. Artists, writers, aristocrats and travelers from all over the world stayed here to enjoy its elegance and exceptional location.

Its architecture perfectly embodies the Haussmann spirit: majestic facades, impressive volumes and refined details. Inside, the décor blends heritage and modernity with natural elegance. Lounges, monumental staircases and corridors steeped in history recall the golden age of the great Parisian hotels.

Café de la Paix, a Parisian institution

It’s impossible to talk about the InterContinental Paris Le Grand without mentioning the legendary Café de la Paix, located on the first floor of the hotel. Open for over a century, it is one of the great institutions of Parisian life. Its terrace facing the Opera is one of the most emblematic places to observe the bustle of the district.

Inside, the sumptuous décor is reminiscent of the great brasseries of the XIXᵉ century: frescoes, gilding and timeless elegance. People come here as much to savor refined French cuisine as to soak up the unique atmosphere of the place. Numerous artists and personalities have settled here over the decades, making the café a privileged witness to Parisian history.

A stay at the InterContinental Paris Le Grand is much more than just a night in a hotel. It’s an opportunity to experience Paris from the heart of one of its most prestigious districts, with an absolutely incomparable view of the Opera House. An experience that transforms a simple weekend into a true Parisian souvenir.
