Nestled on the iconic Rue de Rivoli and overlooking the Tuileries Garden, Le Meurice has been a beacon of Parisian luxury since 1835. A hotel steeped in art history—once a favorite of Salvador Dalí—and culinary excellence under the guidance of Alain Ducasse since 2013, it continues to set the standard for opulent stays. This Valentine's Day 2026, the Dorchester Collection property invites couples to celebrate with an array of exceptional dining experiences and one unparalleled suite offering.

Romantic Gastronomy for Every Preference

Le Meurice presents two distinct restaurant experiences for an unforgettable Valentine's dinner. At the relaxed and creatively inspired Restaurant Le Dalí, Chef Clémentine Bouchon crafts a seven-course menu rooted in French classics. The journey includes dishes like crispy rice with squash and sweet pepper, lightly cooked scallops with leek and Kristal caviar, and golden veal with stuffed mushrooms and black truffle. The experience concludes with a choice of a half-bottle of Bruno Paillard Champagne or an assortment of Alain Ducasse chocolates. The menu is priced from €325 per person, or €550 with a Champagne pairing.

For those seeking the pinnacle of fine dining, the two-Michelin-starred Restaurant Le Meurice Alain Ducasse, under Executive Chef Amaury Bouhours, offers a six-course tasting menu. The culinary highlights feature delicacies such as lightly cooked sea bream from Noirmoutier with beetroot, rosehip and smoked yoghurt, and crispy blue lobster with radish, amaranth and red pepper. This exquisite experience includes a vintage Moët & Chandon Champagne pairing and is priced from €790 per person.

The Ultimate Suite for an Unforgettable Escape

For the couple seeking the absolute zenith of romance and privacy, Le Meurice offers an exclusive Valentine's package in its legendary Belle Étoile Penthouse Suite. Perched atop the hotel with a 300m² wraparound terrace, the suite commands breathtaking 360-degree views of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. The €35,000 package includes an overnight stay and a private gastronomic dinner within the suite, featuring Chef Amaury Bouhours's six-course menu paired with a selection of Grand Cru wines. As highlighted on the hotel's website, guests can also enjoy a private moment on the terrace, a marble whirlpool bathtub, and a special meet-and-greet with Chef Bouhours, culminating in a signed copy of Alain Ducasse's book, "ADN: Ducasse."

A Sweet Finale for Two

No Valentine's celebration is complete without a shared dessert. Pastry maestros Cédric Grolet and François Deshayes have created a limited-edition Lychee Heart. This artistic dessert features a vanilla mousse with a rose-scented lychee centre, resting on a vanilla sponge with praline crunch, all encased in a thin, textured chocolate shell resembling a lychee. Priced at €35 for two, it is available for collection only on February 13 and 14 at La Pâtisserie du Meurice par Cedric Grolet at 6 rue de Castiglione.
