In order that your stay at the Relais Saint Honoré occurs in the best possible conditions, we inform you that, on account of the current sanitary situation, we have proceeded to a few changes in the hotel :
● The wear of a sanitary mask will be compulsory in all the common areas of the hotel. Some hydro-alcoholic gel will be also always available at the front desk.
● Breakfasts will be only served in your room.
● Our mini-bar service is no longer authorized. However, a wide choice of drinks can be served on request.
● On our courtsey tray, (at free use in each of our rooms), our initial mugs have been replaced with disposable cardboard cups.
● During your stay long, we also kindly request from you to let us know if you would like your room to be cleaned or not. We thank you too in advance for airing your room when you leave it.
As our hotel has always been adament about cleanness, we inform our guests that we had taken strict measures in this direction long before the appearance of the Covid.
Our housekeeping daily uses « Vapodil » as a powerful cleaning device, — i.e. a dry steam device that totally disinfects any area because of a steam coming out at 120°.
Futhermore, we have bought ozone devices, which are used and placed in all rooms after the departure of the previous guest, to disinfect and clean the air.
● Our elevator cannot be used in the company of other hotel guests.
● From now on, the sending by mail of invoices is prioritized.
In spite of all these new mandatory measures, be certain that the entire team of the hotel will do its best to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
We thank you for your understanding and collaboration, and look sincerely forward from greeting you at the Relais Saint Honore.
Kind regards.
The Management.

Many thanks in advance for your understanding.
Dear Guests,
And undoubtedly brighter than the hardships of 2020 that we’ll be relieved to leave behind.
Heading towards a New Year hopefully rich in Happiness and Good Health for each and every one of you !
The Relais Saint-Honoré Team.
All the Relais Saint Honore’s team sincerely do hope first that, — in spite of the global lockdown the world has lately faced —, our present Newsletter finds each of you safe, as also your relatives and friends.
Of course, — for everyone’s safety —, all sanitary measures will be strictly observed, from the front desk of the hotel to the rooms, as mentioned on our official website.
Some of you know, or even stayed, in our Grande Suite #502, located at the 5th of the hotel, and which is often requested on account of its romantic tone. We are happy to inform you that the fabrics of this Suite has been totally changed, which makes this room now even brighter, than it was already initially.
But, as above-mentioned, our most exciting news is the creation of a brand new Family Suite of 48m² ! Maximum people occupancy will be 5. This huge Suite will be configured with a bedroom part, plus its own bathroom, and a lounge part with a second bathroom.
Ideally located at the ground floor, no more nor less comfort and quiet will be offered to you !
As speaking of reservation process, we inform you, — or remind you —, that booking directly with the hotel, (by mail, telephone or on official web site), always remains the cheapest, the easiest, — and, let’s admit it —, the warmest way to book a room with us!
In spite of the rough time we all have gone through lately, we have intensified our efforts to make the reopening of the Relais Saint Honoré a moment of happy and memorable reunion.
Do take very good care of yourselves, and have a lovely summertime !
Our warmest regards on behalf of all the Relais Saint Honoré’s team.
Dear Guest,
The entire Relais Saint Honoré team is pleased to join me in sending you all our wishes for happiness, health and prosperity for this new year. We will always strive to give the best of ourselves to make your stay in Paris a very enjoyable one.Marie Pierre
We are going to tackle the beautiful season and a number of remarkable exhibitions are coming to an end this summer. We present here a selection of exhibitions worth a visit with a particular focus on one of them.
Subodh Gupta, at the Monnaie de Paris, an image of the world until August 26
The Monnaie de Paris, which is one of the oldest companies in the world, still active, is installed in a beautiful mansion of the late eighteenth century. The institution presents an artist whose works are part of the most famous collections in the world. This retrospective is the first exhibition in France dedicated to Subodh Gupta.
Born in 1964 in New Delhi and son of a modest family, Subodh Gupta grew up in the Bihar. His work consists mainly in a decontextualization of banal objects of everyday life, to deliver a critical reflection on the turbulences of our world.
"In India, in the small towns, there are two types of works of art for the middle class that can be seen: The art of calendars and the sculptures of the gods and goddesses present in the temples. But we could not see contemporary art, "he says.
"In the theater, I was responsible for makeup, I played, I created the posters of the shows, I was responsible for ticket sales. All these things have influenced me and still inspire me, as long as this allows me to express myself "
"The Pot is in the water and the water is in the pot" (Subodh Gupta, 2012)is a vision of the exile of people left behind.
"Twenty years ago, 90% of Indians used stainless steel utensils in everyday life. It was a very common material for the country. Cookware describes the food. An empty plate describes hunger or even death. A full plate describes abundance, prosperity and life "(Subodh Gupta)
"Faith Matters" (2007-2008) presents "tiffin boxes", these lunch boxes that the Indians use to carry their meal for the day. The tifflin boxes are moving on a treadmill. The work bears witness to the famine that affects populations whil4 others are transporting more and more food from one point to another in the world.
"The skull is a vanity of life and at the same time, in India, it appears in many rituals. In India, vanity is represented by the skull which covers various aspects "(Subodh Gupta)
Very Hungry God (Subodh Gupta, 2006), is a contrast between opulence and misery

Nymphéas (Waterlilies) The American Abstract Art and the last Monet at the Orangerie until August 20th
This event celebrates the centennial of the water lilies. When all the Nymphéas were inaugurated in 1927, it sparked a very mixed craze. It was only after the Second World War that the New York art scene placed Monet as an essential source of abstraction. The exhibition confronts American painters from the current of "abstract impressionism" with Monnet's late works.

Exceptional cuisine, an extraordinary setting, a historic palace, and a world-class chef. These are the ingredients that make up this exceptional restaurant, which is a 10-minute walk from the Relais Saint-Honoré.

History
The restaurant opened in 1784, back then known as Café de Chartres. The decor has remained unchanged ever since, despite the revolutions and wars that the establishment has undergone.
Napoleon Bonaparte, Mac Mahon, and Georges Sand have sat on its benches. Victor Hugo had his napkin and his regular dish, which never changed: vermicelli, mutton breast, and white beans.
Jean Cocteau also became a loyal customer of the restaurant and would even draw there (menu opposite). The rooms also have several of the artist's drawings. Jean Marais, Sacha Guitry, Colette, who stayed above the restaurant, André Malraux, Louis Aragon, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir also regularly came to Le Grand Véfour.
Decor or a Time Machine?
The decor borrows from styles such as Rococo and Transition, and will immerse you in the mood of good taste that the nobility and the bourgeoisie of the time appreciated. It's hard not to be impressed when you walk through the front door.
The Chef
Guy Martin is ranked by the World Master Arts of Culinary as on of the seven best chefs in the world. He has received countless distinctions and awards. He is also the author of many books, making him probably one of the most productive chefs. This self-taught Savoyard started in the business at 17 as a pizzaiolo. Le Grand Véfour received its first Michelin star only 6 months after its arrival in 1985, 28 years ago. Le Grand Véfour got its 2nd star in 1995 and its 3rd star five years later, which it kept uptil 2008.The Menu
But how expensive is this high flying gastronomic restaurant? The lunch menu, including an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert is €155 and the tasting menu, served in the evening, is €315.For example, you can taste the foie gras ravioli with truffled cream (€98), one of Guy Martin's signature dish, which has been on the menu since 1985. It represents his "contemporary" cuisine, made of noble products, worked with richness and indulgence, inspired by his travels.
Foie gras ravioli with truffled cream (€98)
There is the Blue lobster, with colored tomatoes and water, olive oil from la Fare les Oliviers and black salt (€118), served warm. It is a subtle range of summer flavors. Then there is also Guy Martin's other mythical dish: the oxtail parmentier with truffles (€112)
To conclude this high-flying menu, you can choose the dark chocolate Manjari cube with 64% cocoa, filled with oranges and pomegranates, whose acidity is softened by a sorbet and a coconut biscuit. The waiter told us to hit the cube with the back of the spoon in order to begin eating without making to much noise. We owe this desert to Mourad Rachdi, the pastry chef of Le Grand Véfour, it is as gourmet as it is pretty.
Enjoy!

Its Belle Epoque decoration by Edouard-Jean Niermans (Hotel Negresco - The Moulin Rouge) is rich in frescoes, mirrors, marbles, moldings and gilding, tapestries, and porcelain services...
Marcel Proust frequented the tea house. Coco Chanel, who lived next door at the Ritz, had a soft spot for hot chocolate and also came here. After her, there was Audrey Hepburn, Serge Gainsbourg, and others.
Sébastien Bauer is the tea house's head pastry chef. This thirty-year-old already has a brilliant career behind him: he was a pastry chef at the Ritz and the Bristol before becoming the creative director alongside Pierre Hermé.Our first tip is to visit Angelina preferably during the week. You will avoid waiting in line at the entrance; however, the line does move quickly. Nonetheless, expect a slight wait.
Angélina is particularly known for its hot chocolate and Mont Blanc. To come to Angélina and miss these two mainstays of the house would be a shame.
The hot chocolate, called "l'Africain" (€8.20), is an old-fashioned hot chocolate composed of three cocoas originating from different areas of Africa: Niger, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. Thick chocolate is served in a porcelain pitcher with a dish of whipped cream. It is reputed to be among the best in Paris.
Mont-Blanc is the other must at Angélina. It is composed of a base in meringue, a light whipped cream, and topped with Ardèche chesnut cream vermicelli (€9.20). The cream is dense and not too sweet, which allows it to develop a strong chestnut flavor reminiscent of candied chesnuts.
Paris-New York and Mont Blanc
The sufficiently sweet meringue is crisp and crumbly even at its center. The whipped cream is very light and not too sweet. Mont Blanc lovers will appreciate this wonderfully done cake. done.
You will also be tempted by the Paris-New York. This is a revisited version of Paris-Brest made of a choux pastry, a praline cream with pecans, and a center made of crunchy pecan praline (€ 9.00).
Angélina offers a € 39 brunch consisting of a hot drink, fresh-squeezed fruit juice or a fruit cocktail, mini pastries and Moisan organic bakery rolls, a main dish and a dessert of your choice, and a glass of champagne.
La brioche perdue served with the Brunch
Eating "on the go" is possible every day from 11:45 until 18:30 with club sandwiches, croque-monsieur or croque-madame, quiches, and omelettes. Priced from €16 to €27.
Finally, at the delicatessen, you will find hot chocolate, chestnut cream, teas, cookies, spreads, chocolate bars, chocolate praline truffles, chocolate-covered almonds and coffee beans, and other delicacies...

The interior decoration, entrusted to the architect Christophe Tollemer, is contemporary and elegant but more classical and intimate in the private dining rooms.
Philip Chronopoulos, the Modigliani of the ovens here, is a thirty-year-old Athenian trained at the Paul Bocuse Institute. After participating in the opening of the London Robuchon Workshop, he joined Alain Passard's team at L'Arpège (3 Michelin stars), then again Joël Robuchon laboratories where the dishes of the group's restaurants are created, and then he participated in the launch of L'Atelier Robuchon Etoile. It is finally in 2015 that Philip Chronopoulos arrived at the Restaurant du Palais Royal to create a French cuisine with Mediterranean influences.
The menu offers a lunch menu at 55 € with an appetizer, 4 courses to choose from, and 2 desserts to choose from. You will notably be served the "Egg of my childhood", the menu's classic, which is the chef's grandfather's egg à la tomato: A puffed ravioli dough that contains a flowing egg yolk at its heart in a tomato sauce with heather honey and Cajun spices. The menu offers appetizers between € 34 and € 56, main dishes between € 48 and € 88, and desserts between € 19 and € 25.You can taste the "Milky herbs, candied Château Chalon chestnuts and walnuts" (42 €): A tart formed in a brick with pieces of chestnuts and mushrooms accompanied by a mousse of goat cheese and fresh herbs, highlighted with a chickpea juice. All at once, the tart is crisp, the mousse is light and melting, while the chestnuts and mushrooms provide something to sink your teeth into. Beautiful
Milky herbs, candied Château Chalon chestnuts and walnuts
The "Octopus with smoked pepper, caramelized new potatoes" (€ 42), is a roasted octopus accompanied by diced celery and lemon, new potatoes, piquillo red peppers, and salicornia in tempura, with watercress and fried garlic powder in a smoked pepper cream.
Smoked pepper octopus, caramelized new potatoes
Finally, "Scallops, red kuri squash with almonds and black truffle" (88 €) is served on a bed of green cabbage with a white wine mussel sauce. Some gnocchi add mellowness. It's excellent.
Scallops, red kuri squash with almonds and black truffle
And if you aspire to levitate your senses, you can find these dishes in a 7-course tasting menu where the dishes all represent those that are the most teasing for the taste buds as thi Saint Pierre white fish with white asparagus and ginger carrot gnocchi and this rack of piglet grilled with chanterelles and coffee aromas
