A cut above, the legendary Plaza Athénée, is a haute couture landmark and trailblazer venue – with fashion in its soul. Here, you’ll walk in the footsteps of princesses and Hollywood royalty – from Grace Kelly to Elizabeth Taylor, Mariah Carey to Charlize Theron.
If these walls could talk, they would tell quite the tale. Now, they welcome your own love story – set in Paris. The ‘City of Love’ is a byword for elegance, beautifully embodied in Hotel Plaza Athénée. Exchange vows surrounded by a thousand deep red roses. Celebrate your luxury wedding with vintage champagne, personally sourced.

From couture to culinary artistry, Hotel Plaza Athénée is dedicated to the finer things in life. It is home to an acclaimed three Michelin-starred restaurant, headed by the inimitable Alain Ducasse and his award-winning team. Meanwhile the grand ballroom, known as Le Salon Haute Couture, is made for an unforgettable first dance. With space for 110 guests seated for dinner and a palette of rich red colours, it’s perfectly suited to Chinese weddings in Paris. And to all those planning the celebration of a lifetime.

Step from the avenue of ateliers into a venue with enduring style. From saying your vows to happily ever after, our luxury wedding planners custom-create every magical moment here, down to the finest details. Raise a toast in the Garden Courtyard, share the romantic history of the hotel’s cascading red geraniums, then celebrate the next chapter in the heart of Paris’ golden triangle. With Montmartre setting the scene, this is the epitome of elegance. Hotel Plaza Athénée delivers a beautiful setting, and it’s our honour to throw open the doors to one of the most exclusive wedding venues in Paris, and across the world.

Synonymous with art and fashion, Hotel Plaza Athénée has long drawn creative luminaries. Its story begins in 1913 on Avenue Montaigne. A neighbourhood known for soaring architecture, with views stretching across Paris, it quickly caught the eye of composers and artists. Then, in 1947, Christian Dior opened his flagship house of couture.
Fashion is the thread that runs through this venue. When The Dorchester Collection acquired Hotel Plaza Athénée in 2001, and the official French distinction of a palace was bestowed upon the hotel, its reputation for finesse and flair came to the global stage.
There’s nothing quite like capturing the look on your loved ones’ faces as they make their entrance here. It could be into the grand Salon Haute Couture, setting an exquisite scene for 110 of your chosen guests. With five chic event spaces and 400 sq. metres at your feet, each room is distinctive by design.
Before the big day, whisk your guests to Alma-Marceau and the Champ-Elysées, just a seven-minute stroll away. After immersing in the city, soak up a sense of tranquillity. After all, Hotel Plaza Athénée is home to the Dior Spa, a sartorially inspired sanctuary.
From bespoke menus and hand-crafted floral designs to show-stopping entertainment, your destination wedding in Paris begins with a dash of creative flair.
Often, it begins with the wedding venue and France has an iconic collection. Set the scene in Parisian châteaux such as Vaux-le-Vicomte or Château de Chantilly. Or allow us to guide you through our much-loved central venues in Paris: Opéra Garnier, Four Seasons George V, Rosewood Hotel Crillon and Musée Rodin.
