Birth place of Rex Lancaster, the Bear


Located in the heart of Paris, just off the Champs Elysées, the Hotel Lancaster is a luxurious hideaway, constructed in a 19th-century private mansion. It is an intimate address, with the feel of an elegant private residence. The hotel offers 49 rooms and 11 suites over 8 floors, in a plush atmosphere that cultivates a certain art of living à la Française. Traditional furniture, paintings by old masters, antiques and the re-creation of historical fabrics celebrate the decorative arts in the best light. Its interior courtyard has become a Zen garden retreat. All the feel of a thoroughly charming traditional home.

La Table du Lancaster

La Table du Lancaster To create La Table du Lancaster, the hotel owners have called on the talent of the master chef, Michel Troisgros. His inspiration, in concert with the owners' personal selections, has given life to creative, light and elegant meals. The menu, purposely brief, is organized by theme, based on products chosen by Michel Troisgros for their intensity, freshness, and slightly sour notes. The wit of the tomato – The burst of lemon and citrus fruit – The bite of condiments and spices – The green of fresh vegetables, herbs and fruit – The sweetness of dairy products. La Table du Lancaster offers fine dining that is intimate, understated and contemporary.

The Rooms

Lancaster Bedroom Facing either Rue de Berri or the interior courtyard garden, the 49 rooms and 11 suites of the Lancaster cover 8 floors of the building. Intimate or very spacious, they all tie to a certain art of living à la Française, through their rare antique furniture, luxurious items, paintings, sofas, desks, and porcelain. Classic rooms that provide all the most up-to-date logistical services that our guests expect: all rooms offer two telephone lines, voice mail service, a safe, a TV-DVD combination, and cable and satellite TV. Most of the bathrooms combine grey or beige marble and African iroko wood. The luxury bathroom fixtures, the heated towel bars and all the accessories display a retro design. Towels, bathrobes and slippers are also designed uniquely for the Lancaster.
