What To See & Do in Paris

Since 2011, Le Méridien has been reinventing the lobbies of its hotels to make them spaces where guests hang out and come together to interact, spark curiosity and stimulate creativity. The new concept is called "Le Méridien HUB" and is designed around the three experiences below which were integrated into the Le Méridien Étoile hotel (Paris 17) in 2016 during the renovations to the public areas carried out by the London architecture firm Michaelis Boyd.

With a relaxed atmosphere and ideal for encounters and creativity, the Hub of Le Méridien Etoile is an unexpected place to come and enjoy original creations.

Le Meridien Etoile, in partnership with the ARC DE TRIOMPHE is delighted to offer its guests a chance to discover Paris in an unexpected way with the Unlock Art pass. Arc de Triomphe is an iconic and historical monument offering a magnificent view over the City of Light. Inspired by the great arches found throughout antiquity, the Arc de Triomphe combines both a commemorative space with a symbolic one, and it has always played a major role in the French national republican consciousness.
Enjoy your stay at Le Meridien Etoile to visit this monument, located Place de l’Etoile, 10 minutes walking from the hotel.
Ask our concierges for your complimentary entrance ticket.

Whether staying in the hotel or exploring Paris, Le Meridien Etoile has something for every member of the family. Upon arrival, children (up to twelve years old) can take home special attention, colored pencils, a coloring book and a guidebook with a personalized list of family excursions to explore Paris.

Business travelers will find La Défense, one of the largest business districts in Europe and home to the headquarters of some major international corporations, a mere 10 minutes away from the hotel by metro.
