My husband and I stayed at the Crillon in the 1980's for one night. We told them it was our anniversary and, although we'd booked their least expensive room, they upgrade us to a Deluxe Suite with a balcony over-looking Place de la Concord!
This was wonderful. I did not stay there, but, during the summer of 1969, while studying at the Sorbonne, I used to take the Metro and then sit on the edge of one of the fountains watching the lights come on all.over Paris. It was magical. Then a walk down le Champs and then back to Cite Universitaire. I shall never forget the spell of Paris.
I was night manager at the Crillon back in 1972/3 and have very fond memories of conversations with David Niven, Andy Warhol (he took my photo with an SX70 polaroid, signed it and gave it to me) Gloria Swanson, Lee Kuan Yew and various others. Back then a double room was 270 francs per night and suites from 320 francs upward. Lots of stories!
I am, as ever, enormously impressed by the quality of both the cinematography and the editing. From a quick read of other's comments that feeling is pretty much universal and very well deserved.
that swimming pool is a work of art surrounded by more art, just stunning. that 3-D wall art at 12:50 is just awe inspiring, I could spend a lot of time just walking back and forth looking at it.
Your video skills have improved incredibly over the years and I can even notice a huge difference from this shoot and beginning of covid. Even the way you correspond the music with the clips. Incredible job!
Our family spent our first night in Europe there, in late January of 1964. Frankly, at the time, "decaying grandeur" would have been a good description; it was tired, faded, and, at least in our room, with a serious cockroach problem. We referred to it as the "Creep-on" for years thereafter. Glad to see it's been restored to live up to its reputation.
about the same experience, a few years later in the early 70s I think during a weekend in Paris: worn grandeur then; now it's an eclectic paradise with fantasized styles
We stayed shortly before it was closed for renovation to become what it is today. We had a mouse in our room. So they quickly put us in a fantastic suite overlooking the Eiffel Tower. It was amazing. Absolutely beautiful. Gracious response to an unfortunate incident . We went for drinks after the refurbishment a few years later. Still very beautiful. Couldn’t help but to compare it to original splendor. It compares very well. Stunning
When we stayed there in the spring of 1988 it was a faded, worn relic of days gone by. ISTR that Les Ambassadeurs was not just a bar, but an elegant full-service restaurant, and that my birthday celebration dinner was the best part of our stay.
Several years ago, on my first of many visits to Paris, we stayed at Hotel de Crillon! An experience I will always treasure. We had a fabulous suite on the top floor on the front. I still remember dinners in Les Ambassadeurs, and the champagne corks flying off our balcony into the Place de la Concorde.
When I was a young student we went to the famous Crillon for lunch and we were pretty excited. Especially because Bernard Tapie (sadly just deceased) was sitting at the next table. It was a great experience.
This hotel is so beautiful so elegant its like an extension to the Louvre. The more I see of Paris in my opinion the coty itself is an art gallery and this hotel fits right in I think its 5 star all the way Thanks
I stayed at the Hotel de Crillon before the major renovation began. I was with my two children and we had a suite. The stay was wonderful, the hotel, while not yet renovated, magnificently elegant and the service from the staff absolutely charming and professional.
I stayed at the Hotel de Crillon in the 1990s twice, for business reunions. My first time was in a smaller suite I enjoyed immensely the service and everything the Hotel offer is always done perfectly to the Hotel's reputation. The second time I resided in a larger suite facing the Place de la Concorde, it was again for business, and it was for 30 days. The company I work for indeed made the reservations for me and both times when you are guests in this magnificent Hotel you are treated like Royalty. I can't no longer travel but nonetheless, they are in grave into my memory.
The company Caroline Rose Hunt founded is second to none in hospitality. She would be so proud to see this masterpiece. Outstanding video, Doctor…thank you 🥂
I’ve never been to Paris, so this was a delight! If you ever come to COlorado, stay at the Broadmore Hotel in COlorado Springs. It’s an American expression of Western Art and luxury.
Beautiful hotel. Sometime in the early 80’s I had become obsessed with this hotel because I was under the notion that the film Julia, with Jane Fonda, was used as a location for the film. I was wrong of course, Le Meurice was the hotel, but I ended up staying a weekend at Crillion. Best ‘mistake’ I ever made and the proximity to the Tuileries, well that alone makes the stay memorable.
When we stayed at the Crillon in ‘98 it was owned by the Tattinger family and was the essence of understated, refined luxury. The hotel is now one of a number operating under the Starwood brand. Starwood is owned by the Saudis and the Saudis have no concept of understatement. The redo of the Crillon by Starwood is a great example. The redo has managed to suck the very life out of what was once a great hotel. Very sad.
Excellent hotel immersion, as always. I look forward to your return to Madrid so that you can immerse us in the three new super-luxury hotels that have recently been inaugurated or renovated.
I’ve always stayed at the Palace Hotel in Madrid. If there is one that is better, I would love to hear about it! It’s kind of hard to beat the impressive Skydome room in the Palace however
@Adam Efimoff Really great! They are very caring and have a casual politeness i enjoy a lot. I don't like to be treated like royalty just because i am a customer. I want to feel mutual respect.
Excellent videography and editing! I have been subscribed to your channel since the pandemic and can not thank you enough for boosting my spirits here in NYC throughout! I have travelled extensively on every habitable continent and now have a "short list" of additional travel plans once all of this is over! Many thanks!
Beautiful hotel and wonderful video of it! There are so many things I would love to replicate in a home for myself....the colour palette, the quiet elegance, the simplicity of understated beauty. A pleasure to watch your videos, always. Thank you!
Thank you, so so very much. I watched from the southern-most tip of Africa and I was so enthralled by this video. All your vlogs are special, but this one was spectacular!!!!! Just wonderful. I shall travel there on my honeymoon. ⚘
Searching for hotels in which I've stayed _(for business),_ I found your channel. Your "Inside" looks are gorgeous presentations and perfectly informative - transportive really.
I like the calming color palette and your filming is smooth and calm. For me, the modern art pieces totally destroyed the ambience, suddenly jarring the eyes.
After my jocular comments below, I must say that this is one of the most beautiful and serene luxury hotels I have ever seen featured on your site or anywhere. I loved it! Bravo, Fred Spector
I’d like to travel with you Mr Travel Expert - you go to the best places & always get an upgrade. I had breakfast in Les Ambassadeurs in 1989 - it was a lovely restaurant, but I guess it’s not a dining room anymore. There was a wonderful scent of Goutal’s Passion when you entered the hotel.
showing the prices would only ruin the fantasy of being there. once you know the price its devastating to keep watching while knowing very well you might not afford staying there
Me and my friend, we walked from louvre museum all the way to place de la Concorde and till champs elysses tower, in between halting at YSL ( Yves St Laurent)Showroom to buy me a shirt. Soo many perfumes shops between Louvre and place de la Concorde..incl Jean PATOU brand and many others.
Thank you for sharing Paris, France here. Thanks for the walking there ad well. I how not been there since 2011. I wonder does the city still have the monument flame statue still set there over the overpass where Princess Diana's car accident was. I do miss being there so thank you again for sharing you trip.😛😛
Having not been back to Paris since 2011, i do miss waling around the Central District area taking in the sights and eating at some great cafes... Thank you again for being there and sharing your visit.

Timoteophillips Tell all the gossips.
Oh please we would all love to hear your stories . working in such a magnificent palace hotel
I am, as ever, enormously impressed by the quality of both the cinematography and the editing. From a quick read of other's comments that feeling is pretty much universal and very well deserved.

@@luxurytravelexpert have you been to the George V?
that swimming pool is a work of art surrounded by more art, just stunning. that 3-D wall art at 12:50 is just awe inspiring, I could spend a lot of time just walking back and forth looking at it.
I would be too afraid to swim and accidentally splash some artwork lolz

Great story! This is not so surprising considering that a lot of major European cities were incredibly run down especially after WWII.

Luxery by simplicity & perfect like always 🙏👌
Here we didn’t see the new decoration yet it looks in this video 👌
Wow sounds amazing! What do you for work to be able to afford it?
Lucky you!!! So nice ...
When I was a young student we went to the famous Crillon for lunch and we were pretty excited. Especially because Bernard Tapie (sadly just deceased) was sitting at the next table. It was a great experience.
I stayed there 40 year’s ago and what a difference. I liked it then as well. Perhaps next time I stay there again.thank you this was interesting

@@owenthomas4337 before the renovation, the prices (while not cheap) were much lower
When reality exceeds expectations...
Infiniment merci! ❤🇨🇵🤗
Even the music you score the videos with is always perfect. Once again, a little slice of heaven.
Thank you. This was an exquisite tour of an exquisite hotel. One can only dream! Loved all the footage. ❤️
What an amazing hotel! 🤩 Dr., thanks for sharing with us this beautiful work of art.
I love the ambience of this hotel.
Stayed here many years ago. It was “marvelous”magnificent and elegant🌺

Which company did you work for? I’d love to work for that company too 😊
Your filming technics improve from videos to videos. Smoth and delicate. Great job.
This is a different level of luxury!
Such an exquisite, tasteful (and respectful) overview of Paris's most stately Palace hotel.
The company Caroline Rose Hunt founded is second to none in hospitality. She would be so proud to see this masterpiece. Outstanding video, Doctor…thank you 🥂
You make great videos. So detailed and very enjoyable to watch. I look forward to watching them
Thank you ☺️
I have been in Paris several times Ive been in front of the Crillon like a poor kid outside Disneyland but dreaming it is a magnificent building
Absolutely splendid! I hope to stay at this hotel one day. Thanks for the relaxing video!
It's beautiful... but the Ritz still has my heart.
Thank you for this lovely glimpse of Paris.
Superb presentation of a Great Hotel. Thank you -
I can watch this video every day just to get positive energy.thank you very much ,I wish you all the happiness.Gordan.

My wife and I stayed at the Crillon in ‘98 and had a wonderful experience! One of the world’s greatest hotels, without any doubt.

The building across the street from your room is the American embassy.
Your videos are so perfect. Thank you

Me too. I recently checked out the Four Seasons there- it is breathtaking!

Simply Beautiful and VERY ELEGANT LOOKING HOTEL. THE PINNACLE OF LUXURY HOTEL WITHOUT A DOUBT.
You forgot to mention that along with cake and champagne, you get a coffee table book regarding Charlie Chaplin.
What a beautiful hotel ❤️ wonderful video as usual. I liked your cameo appearance à la Hitchcock. 😉
Thank you for another amazing video ! I love the background music you play in your videos. Can you share details of the music in your videos as well?
Paris, la ville de lumières. 💙
Awesome video man ❤️❤️❤️... Cheers to your contents really enjoying
Love the view and the stroll at the Tuileries Gardens❤️🌹

12:55 surprise! It's 3D 🤯
Define most exclusive.
So many amazing luxury hotels in Paris. I don't know which one I want to stay at the most...
Yes I remember when I asked Claudia where the backpackers hostel was
Great video once again. I like it very much. Thank you.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
Also played a prominent role in the film, is Paris Burning,
but under very different management.
Beautiful understated hotel but my ❤️ and reservations are firmly at Four Seasons George V. 😉👍🏻
Thanks for the extraordinary adventure
Had a lovely suite there in the early 70’s🌺

Las Vegas is the city of lights. Paris however is the city of LIGHT. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Very nice video.
Beautiful video. You used to share the price you paid for your stays and excursions. I'd love to have that information included with each video again.
tax declaration next ?
showing the prices would only ruin the fantasy of being there. once you know the price its devastating to keep watching while knowing very well you might not afford staying there
Exquisite. Handheld gimbal camera, nicely done.
Love from Philippines 🇵🇭
Fantastic, as usual.
Any chance you cover a hotel you like in Belgium? would be interesting to see something extraordinary from there.

This is truly one of the most epic properties worldwide! especially since the new owners took over and refurbished every area. fantastic!!
Well it's very luxurious hotel. But I think in the same rank is also Ritz Paris and the newest one Cheval Blanc Paris.
Stunning hotel 🤍🤍🤍good video to watch 🎥
