Paris, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/11/2012 -- Opening at the end of April – weather permitting - at the heart of the Le Royal Monceau, Raffles Paris, La Terrasse is a leafy haven a world away from the hustle and bustle of the chic Avenue Hoche. It is the perfect setting for enjoying the first rays of spring sun and people-watching, in the calm of a garden in bloom.
Tables from restaurants La Cuisine and Il Carpaccio spill out softly to share this jewel of a space. The doors of Le Bar Long open here too creating a unique blend of activity and tranquil chatter throughout the day in this luxury hotel Paris.
Philippe Starck’s interior vision is complemented by the consummate skills of a landscape artist, whose garden design works throughout the day and across the seasons. Guests staying at this Paris palace hotel, can enjoy a delectable lunch, sip a smooth coffee, or delight in an exquisite Pierre Hermé patisserie, al fresco.
Joana Vasconcelos’ over-scaled surrealist wrought-iron tea-pot appears from between the leaves – a gentle reminder that art sits at the core of Le Royal Monceau, and a playful addition waiting to be discovered dans le jardin.
- La Cuisine – French fine dining for breakfast, lunch, dinner open 7 days a week, and for brunch on weekends and bank holidays
- Il Carpaccio – authentic gourmet Italian, open for lunch and dinner, closed on Sunday and Monday
- Le Bar Long– This chic and casual bar lounge serves light fare, afternoon tea, elegant finger food and a large selection of refreshments and cocktails
