This Paris hotel turns a suite into a Céline Dion dressing room from €659 a night

Singing in a hotel suite in Paris before heading to a Céline Dion concert, or extending the post-show glow over afternoon tea and a stroll through the capital’s streets: the Méridien Paris Arc de Triomphe has built an entire programme around the singer’s sixteen Paris dates. From themed overnight stays to free lobby drop-ins, the options span a wide range of budgets.

Afternoon tea, a guided walk, and accessible entry points at this Paris hotel

For those not looking to book a room, the hotel offers a lobby experience called “The Paris Playlist”. Over two hours, visitors can take part in a bag-charm jewellery workshop, explore a listening space where fragrances are paired with songs, and leave a message on seed-paper butterflies designed to be planted. The mood is unabashedly emotional.

This experience is open to outside visitors until 18 October. Tickets are priced at €49 per person with a hot drink or fruit juice, or €59 with a glass of champagne. No room booking required, making it a genuinely practical option for Parisians who want to soak up the atmosphere without adding a night’s stay to their bill.

After the concert, the Luna Bar and Lounge takes over with cocktails and a pianist for those who want to delay the journey home and keep the evening going at this Paris hotel.

Singing in the streets of Paris: an unusual guided tour

The most original element of the programme, however, steps outside the hotel entirely. Since 18 September, a two-hour guided walk has been inviting participants to sing together through the streets of the capital. The guide shares the story of Céline Dion’s connection with Paris while visitors provide the backing vocals.

The route sets off from the Méridien, passing by the Arc de Triomphe, the Crazy Horse, the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, with a stop at the Paris Marriott Champs Elysees Hotel for a glass of champagne. Called “Paris Encore: A Fan Singalong”, the tour is free to book for Marriott Bonvoy members. Membership to the programme is also free. Several time slots are available through 18 October.

The themed suite: a backstage dressing room for a night at this Paris hotel

For those who want to take the experience further, the Paris hotel has transformed a suite entirely around the singer’s world. Named “Paris, I’m Ready”, it plays on the idea of getting ready for a concert night: a beauty station, illuminated mirrors, projections and décor designed with photos in mind. A microphone wall has even been installed for guests who fancy trying their hand at singing.

A night in this suite starts from €659. The offer is available to book through 2027. One point worth noting: concert tickets are not included in the room rate. Packages combining accommodation and show tickets are separate and sold independently.

To tie the experience back to Céline Dion, Marriott highlights a few of the singer’s travel habits: coffee in the room first thing in the morning, multiple pairs of shoes in the luggage, and music always within reach. The singer has said that music can make you feel at home even when you are far from it. The hotel’s interpretation of these simple rituals is, it must be said, considerably more elaborate.

The practical options to know for this Paris hotel

• “The Paris Playlist” afternoon tea: €49 with a hot drink or fruit juice, €59 with champagne, open until 18 October, no room booking required.
• “Paris Encore” singalong walk: free for Marriott Bonvoy members, booking required, available until 18 October.
• “Paris, I’m Ready” suite: from €659 per night, available through 2027, concert tickets not included.
• Luna Bar and Lounge: cocktails and a pianist after the concert, for those who want to extend the evening on-site.
• Ticket prize draws: two draws on 28 and 29 October at 1 p.m., each offering four lots of two tickets for one Bonvoy point.

Looking ahead to 2027: new packages in the pipeline

Marriott has already announced additional offers for 2027, including a backstage tour paired with a night in the themed suite, giving the most organised fans a reason to start planning their next stay at this Paris hotel well in advance.

On 28 and 29 October at 1 p.m., two prize draws will give fans the chance to win a pair of tickets for just one Bonvoy point. With only four lots up for grabs at each draw, being quick off the mark will matter as much as knowing every lyric. For those who prefer a less competitive option, the singalong walk remains open until 18 October. Belting out a chorus at the foot of the Eiffel Tower demands less speed, but every bit as much enthusiasm.
