Following two years of development, Hilton International has opened its latest hotel in Paris.

The Hilton Arc de Triomphe, located minutes away from the Champs Elysées and Arc de Triomphe itself, is a 508-bedroom property designed by Jacques Garcia and Alexandre Danan, who took inspiration from the Art Deco movement and the1930s.

The centrepiece of the new hotel is an 800sq m Andalusian Patio, complete with 10 palm trees, a fountain and a selection of exotic horticulture.

There is 1,700sq m of conference facilities including a 640sq m modular ballroom which can hold up to 600 people.

Two floors of the hotel are also dedicated to executive rooms, which have easy access to the executive lounge.

The restaurant, Le Safran, has three outdoor terraces while the Purple Bar has an entrance on rue de Courcelles and has a specially created cocktail and drinks menu to ‘suit any mood’.

Also part of the new hotel is a 400sq m health and beauty centre by Carita/Decleor. It comes complete with 10 treatment rooms, a hydro tonic round with massaging jet showers, a steam bath and a sauna.
