Shopping on the Champs-Élysées in Paris and experiencing the latest trends at the flagship LV store is every girl’s dream. Imagine living right on the Champs-Élysées? Feel the pulse of fashion in everyday life and witness how style and romance blend to create the unique charm of Paris. Right across from the flagship LV store on Avenue George V stands Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière.

This luxurious hotel is owned by the historic French family business “Lucien Barrière Hotels et Casinos,” which is also celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. The group’s first hotel was established in 1912 in Deauville, about a two-hour drive from Paris, called Hotel Normandy Barrière. This hotel has served as a filming location for several movies, including Coco avant Chanel. The Barrière hotel group has long been closely associated with the film industry. Movie stars such as Audrey Hepburn, Sharon Stone, Brad Pitt, and Clint Eastwood have all stayed at the group’s flagship hotels, including Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière in Paris, Hotel Normandy Barrière in Deauville, and Le Majestic Barrière in Cannes.

In addition to being family-owned, what sets this top-tier French hotel group apart is its prime locations and high standards of service. At Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière on the Champs-Élysées, butler service is available from the presidential suite down to premium rooms. With the group’s average standard of 2.6 staff members per room, this hotel goes above and beyond — offering more than four staff members per room. The interior design masterfully blends opulent Baroque, classicism, and surrealism. The lobby features Louis XV-style golden sofa benches, alongside walls adorned with photos of family members and celebrity guests who have stayed here.
