L’Oiseau Blanc is named in tribute of the biplane that disappeared during the first attempt at a non-stop transatlantic flight, and the restaurant’s entrance proudly features a replica of the biplane (at 75% scale).

The spa is not only huge (1800m²), it is also the biggest in any of the Parisian Palaces!

The “grandest dinner of all time” took place here in 1922, when the hotel was still the Majestic. At the table were Igor Stravinsky, Sergueï Diaghilev, Pablo Picasso, Marcel Proust and James Joyce, the crème de la crème of contemporary artists. It’s hard to imagine a better set of patrons!
