French culture and the sheer trendiness of this place means that the crowd is for anyone of any age with a lot of money. Jacques Garcia was commissioned to create Paris' most talked about hotel and his originality is evident in both the bar and courtyard cafe. This bar is opulent, decadent and shouts wealth and look at me, look at me, etc..

I have been here a couple of times and fortunately not had the handle the bill. Company has ranged from French hip hop and pop stars to movie stars and never anything less than surreal. Probably best described as pantomime. I'm pretty certain that I would never get into this place if I wasn't there on business and by myself or with my friends. Not that I would necessarily want to go.

I have eaten here, but only the post midnight menu which consists of one or two steaks and steak tartare etc. Lets just say you are not going here to eat.

This place is 1 star or 5 stars depending on what state you are when you get there. So i've given it a 3.
