CONCORDE LAFAYETTE THE HALL: On entering the Concorde La Fayette, one encounters the 1000 m2 Hall that stands as testament to the very best in pure design. White marble reception and concierge desks make an immediate impression and form a welcoming focal point for guests arriving at the hotel. In the middle of the Hall is a life-size reproduction of the famous Victoire de Samothrace statue, which was exquisitely copied by Ateliers of the Louvre. Decorated in blue, the predominant colour at the Concorde La Fayette, this centrepiece acts as a symbol of today’s high technology era by having at its feet a state of the art transparent screen where television and video images are projected. Boutique BACCARAT, housed within the Hall, offers a fine selection of collectable Crystal. The Bar La Fayette has an elevated interior terrace that evokes the bridge of a ship and more than 200 seats, making it one of the largest hotel bars in Paris.
