Arrival at Hôtel Plaza Athénée is warm and welcoming. Guests are cordially greeted and quickly escorted to a lovely French desk where they are welcomed while seated and checked in. The Lobby’s large hand painted mural creates a dramatic impact along with the inlaid black and white marble floor. The friendly concierge station is a buzz as the professional Clef d’Or team effortlessly handles each guest request. And true to its original premise, no luggage is ever seen.
