Hotel Plaza Vendôme in Paris joins Marriott as Renaissance Paris Plaza Vendôme Hotel

The 97-room Hotel Plaza Vendôme has joined Marriott International’s Renaissance brand portfolio in Paris, following the company’s purchase of all the shares from Tuileries Finances SAS, which formerly owned and operated the hotel. The property has been rebranded the Renaissance Paris Plaza Vendôme Hotel. The purchase price was not disclosed.

The hotel which opened in 2003 is located on Rue Mont Thabor, and is a redevelopment of a 19th century lodging property. It is ideally located within a two minutes walk of the exclusive Place Vendôme and the elegant Rue St. Honore and within walking distance of the Opera, the Louvre and some of the city’s main luxury shopping areas.

In celebration of the rebrand the hotel is offering an introductory rate of €460 per night.

“We are excited that this is the 200th hotel in our lodging portfolio in Europe, the Middle East and Africa,” said Arne Sorenson, chief financial officer and president of Continental Europe. “We’ve been developing hotels in the region since 1975 and are thrilled that this fine hotel is now in our system. It’s a perfect fit for our Renaissance brand and the ideal choice for this historic milestone in our company.”

For dining and entertainment, the Renaissance Paris Plaza Vendôme Hotel offers Le Pinxo restaurant, a bar and lobby lounge. Recreational amenities include a 200-square meter health club offering a treatment room, exercise facility and sauna as well as an indoor swimming pool. Other amenities are a business center offering an internet station, 24-hour room service, in-room mini-bar, and laundry/valet service.

Guest rooms offer flat screen televisions, CD and DVD players and high speed internet access.

Marriott currently has four properties in Paris: the Paris Marriott on the Champs Elysees, the Renaissance Paris La Defense, the Courtyard by Marriott Neuilly, and the Courtyard by Marriott Roissy. The Courtyard by Marriott Colombes was recently announced and will open in 2006.
