Le Bar 228 at the grand Le Meurice hotel in Paris is usually topping the city’s “Best bar” lists. The cause might be the 50-plus whiskies on the list, or the 300 or so specialty cocktails, including the “228 or the “Starcky.” Which leads us conveniently to however an additional possible explanation: the opulent and masculine interiors, nicely re-imagined by Philippe Starck.
Le Meurice is a palace hotel overlooking the Tuileries Garden. For two centuries, it has been a single of the most elegant hotels in Europe, and a single with close ties with the artistic and inventive world. Starck was invited to awaken this sleeping beauty from its slumber and he did it by infusing a attractive, modern dynamic yet letting the powerful 18th century magnificence re-claim its glory days. Starck’s skilful touch is noticed throughout the hotel, not just in Le Bar 228.
Le Meurice is part of the Dorchester Collection of luxury hotels group of hotels that includes among other people The Beverly Hills Hotel, Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, The New York Palace, 45 Park Lane in London. – Bill Tikos
