A precious stone's throw from the Place Vendôme, the Opera, and the Tuileries, the Hotel Westminster stands with its Hausmannian facade amongst the prestigious addresses of the high fashion and jewellery district. Its name gives homage to the Duke of Westminster who liked to stay here in the middle of the 19th century, from whom the hotel took its coat of arms. Today, the present Duke still stays in the hotel. A noble sign for an institution where luxury agrees perfectly with discretion. For 150 years, the hotel has made its home in a street that seemed pre-destined: Rue de la Paix. Here, in fact, all seems calm and quiet. Its small size, 22 suites and 80 rooms, give it a human dimension, which makes for all its charm. At its heart, a flowered patio whispers pure serenity. Luxury takes on a warmer style, close, convivial, a veritable art de vivre. There are 80 rooms and 22 suites, all decorated with one-of-a-kind antique furniture and marble fireplaces. All rooms feature marble bathrooms with bathrobes, luxury toiletries and hairdryer; individually controlled air conditioning; direct-dial telephone/fax line with voice mail; personal in-room safe, mini-bar, cable television, double-paned windows, and twice-daily maid service including evening turndown.In addition, guests of Westminster suites are treated to 24-hour butler service.
