The rooms envelop you in the beauty of classic Parisian style underscored with 21st century comforts and fine details, including windows that open to enchanting views. Each element of your private retreat has been created to assure that you will leave feeling better than when you arrived. Your bathroom has a luxurious white marble floor and may offer a refreshing shower or relaxing soaking tub, or both. Throughout each Sybille de Margerie-designed room, sleek, modern lines blend with the sensuous curves of the furnishings and plush carpets in a muted palette of plum – with hues of mauve to taupe and touches of pale green – or a deeper Bordeaux red. Framed photographs of Paris grace the walls, and windows are dressed in layers of drapes, from sheer to those that provide more privacy.

Situated under the graceful arcades of The Westin Paris – Vendôme, le First offers a contemporary setting with chic baroque touches designed to please all the senses. The menus begin with select fresh, artisan ingredients. From this formidable base the menu creates a modern interpretation of traditional brasserie cuisine, including lightly pan-sautéed dieppe scallops, endives and small pumpkin with citrus fruit and a dessert of William pear dried, preserved and frosted, served with crunchy rice pudding.
