Paris Hotel Wars.
For nearly a hundred years, the Hotel le Bristol and five other so-called Parisian palace hotels — the Crillon, George V. Meurice, Plaza Athenee and Ritz — have seen themselves as the guardians of French tradition and grand service.【L1】______They’re also very expensive. Five-star properties in Paris have average room rates of $350 to $700 per night, but rooms at the palaces start at $1,000 and climb all the way to $31,000. 【L2】______
The luxury oligopoly, however, is facing its first significant challenge.【L3】______In October, the Singapore-based Raffles Group reopened Le Royal Monceau, which dates from 1928, after spending more than $140 million to gut and refurbish it. In December, Hong Kong-based Shangri-La unveiled its offering inside the former residence of Napoleon’s grandnephew. 【L4】______The hotel will blend "French services with Oriental flair," meaning yoga mats in the rooms, massage parlors in the suites and dim sum on the room-service menu. In early 2013 the Peninsula Group will debut its first European hotel on the swanky Avenue Kleber. 【L5】______
The target clientele is a growing emerging-market elite. The number of millionaire households rose 14% worldwide in 2009 to include 11.2 million people, according to the Boston Consulting Group, and China alone saw a spike of 31%.【L6】______The Asian chains will feature top-notch plumbing and state-of-the-art technology, which have often been missing from the palace hotels in the past.
The new competition has prompted the old guard to renovate its properties and dust off their history.【L7】______At the Bristol, managers recount how during World War II. their predecessors erased a suite from the floor plan and harbored a Jewish architect, who later thanked them by building the elegant wrought-iron elevator at the hotel’s center.【L8】______But what’s clear is this: for luxury travelers headed to Paris this spring and summer, the choice of accommodations just got a whole lot better.
A. In June, Mandarin Oriental will welcome guests to its 130-room property near the Louvre, built at a cost of more than $16 million per room.
B. Their flagship restaurants serve only French haute cuisine, and their historic buildings remain as iconic today as they were in the 18th and 19th centuries.
C. Together these openings will boost the number of luxury rooms in the city by 40%.
D. Asian hotel groups are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in lavish new properties in historic buildings throughout Paris — all with rooms at the palaces’ price point.
E. Luxury today needs to have a story, so the Crillon emphasizes that Marie Antoinette took piano lessons in its drawing rooms, and the Ritz honors Coco Chanel’s 30-year residency there.
F. Whether or not historical tales can preserve the allure of Parisian tourism is still unknown.
G. But the new properties will appeal to any traveler who simply wants to stay in a less fusty yet still luxurious environment.
H. Their iconic status kept their rooms filled through most of the recession, even at those prices.
