My wife and I will be spending four nights in Paris in January and two of the hotels we are considering are the Meurice and the Crillon. Having a hard time deciding between the two.
To help us make a decision, I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether the Phillippe Starck makeover of the Meurice public rooms is complete and, if so, what the initial feedback is on it. One of the things that attracted me to the Meurice was the decor in the bar and main restaurant (as currently shown on their website). Not sure how we would like a bold, minimalist makeover of that. Also, I%26#39;m not sure we would choose the hotel if the renovation is still going on during our stay.
I would also be curious to hear thoughts on which of Les Ambassadeurs at the Crillon or the restaurant at Le Meurice might be a better bet currently for a haute cuisine experience. They both seem highly regarded and very similar in many respects (although I realize Le Meurice has one more Michelin star at the moment). Would love to hear what the current buzz is on them.
Thanks so much.

I understand that Starck got the job on July 21st, and is expected to finish it around the end of December.

Les Ambassadeurs provides a beautiful setting--masses of flowers--long with high-quality food.
As for the hotels, the Meurice probably has the best location unless you%26#39;re interested in the couture and other up-market shops in the 8th.

Good afternoon
Le Meurice hands down.
Best location by the gardens and walking distance to le Lovre, maxim%26#39;s, Rue du Faubourg St honore etc,... Great pro- Active staff there, complete satisfaction.
The three Michelin star is superb and offers quite a wine list ( do they still have that Laffite 28 on the wine list ?)

Decisions, decisions, I would hate to have to make that choice. Good luck.
