RH Paris opens its 3,900 sq ft gallery on the Champs-Élysées with a rooftop and Eiffel Tower views
Imagine pushing open gilded doors on the Champs-Élysées and stepping into a 3,900 sq m space spread across 7 floors, where furniture, art and gastronomy merge into a single, seamless world. That is exactly what RH Paris, the American high-end furnishings brand, has been offering since its opening on 5 September 2025 at 23 avenue des Champs-Élysées, on the site formerly occupied by Abercrombie & Fitch.
An RH Paris gallery conceived as a living museum
From the moment you step inside, it is clear this address is unlike any conventional store. Imposing bronze doors open onto a secret garden, where sculpted trees frame a monumental medallion five metres in diameter. The tone is set immediately: spectacle here is a deliberate choice, not a happy accident.
A glass-enclosed lift runs through the entire building like a transparent spine. On each floor, a new gallery reveals itself, where every piece of furniture shapes the space as much as it furnishes it. Objects, artefacts and artworks gathered from around the world coexist in what feels far more like a museum in motion than a showroom.
This hybrid elegance, at once rustic and refined, pared-back and warm, is the brand’s signature. Commanding without ever tipping into ostentation, the space embodies a vision of Californian luxury that RH Paris is bringing to France for the very first time.
Gastronomy and design, two sides of the same experience
The culinary dimension sits at the heart of the project. On the second floor, Le Jardin RH houses a restaurant and wine bar beneath a curved glass-and-steel structure directly inspired by the Grand Palais. The menu revisits American and Mediterranean classics, served on slabs of rare white onyx. The plate becomes an extension of the décor.
At the very top of the building, Le Petit RH offers an entirely different atmosphere. This rooftop restaurant is dressed in 7,000 hand-blown glass polyhedra and champagne-lacquered walls. The 360° panorama takes in the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais and the Louvre. On the menu, caviar and seafood are presented within a gastronomic scenography conceived as a direct extension of the venue’s overall design.
What visitors can actually experience at RH Paris
For those who want to go beyond a simple visit, several spaces cater to specific needs. Here are the key highlights to know before you walk through the door:
- A glass-roofed restaurant on the second floor, Le Jardin RH, with a wine bar and American and Mediterranean cuisine
- A panoramic rooftop, Le Petit RH, with 360° views over Paris’s most iconic monuments
- An RH Interior Design Studio nestled at the heart of the secret garden, clad entirely in white onyx
- A private room and a design library for bespoke projects
- A lighting installation by Alison Berger within the design studio
The Interior Design Studio deserves particular attention. Set at the heart of the secret garden, this space, entirely lined in white onyx, is elevated by a bespoke lighting creation by Alison Berger. It features a private room reserved for clients and a design library where textiles, lighting and furniture serve as inspiration for the most ambitious projects.
A new chapter for the Champs-Élysées
With this opening, the world’s most famous avenue gains an address that redefines the boundaries of luxury shopping. RH Paris is not simply selling furniture: the brand is offering a total experience, where architecture, art and gastronomy unfold across seven floors. Every square metre of the gallery contributes to a coherent narrative, from the secret garden at ground level to the panoramic rooftop above.
This first French gallery from RH marks a significant milestone for the brand in Europe. Because what this address on the Champs-Élysées ultimately proposes is a new way of thinking about luxury: boundless in its ambitions, precise in its details, and open to anyone who wants to experience design as something far richer than a catalogue.
