For 2026, Le Meurice opens a new chapter that moves gracefully between cellar, kitchen, salon, and spa. Winemaker dinners, a refreshed lunch menu, Cédric Grolet’s reimagined afternoon tea, and Valmont’s new hydration ritual reveal a palace hotel refining its legacy through experiences that feel distinctly modern, sensorial, and Parisian today.
Le Meurice has always occupied a singular place in Parisian life, where palace grandeur meets artistic spirit. For 2026, the hotel deepens that identity with a series of new culinary and wellness experiences that reaffirm its stature as far more than an address for elegant stays. It becomes, once again, a destination in itself.
At Restaurant Le Dalí, the most intimate new ritual arrives in the form of Les Jeudis de Vignerons, a dinner series devoted to French wine culture. Curated by wine director Gabriel Veissaire and shaped with the support of Alain Ducasse, each evening pairs a guided tasting of four cuvées with a four-course menu designed in dialogue with the wines. The format invites not only discovery, but conversation, as guests meet the visiting winemaker across the course of the night. The 2026 calendar moves through some of France’s most expressive terroirs, from Domaine de Bellevue in the Loire Valley on March 19 to Domaine de l’Arlot in Burgundy on May 21, Château de Beaucastel in the Rhône on October 15, and a final Burgundy-focused dinner with Xavier Monnot on December 3. Priced at €150 per person, each event extends its story further, with the featured bottles remaining on Le Dalí’s list for two months as a Coup de Coeur selection.
Daytime brings a different rhythm. Under chef Clémentine Bouchon, Le Dalí’s new lunch menu revisits French classics with a lighter, more contemporary touch. Egg mayonnaise with tuna belly and homemade country terrine open the meal with familiar comfort, while beef bourguignon and free-range chicken fricassee with mushrooms and vin jaune lend the menu its generous heart. Desserts by Cédric Grolet and François Deshayes complete the experience with polished restraint. Lunch is offered at €58 for two courses or €68 for three.
That same balance of history and reinvention defines afternoon tea, a Le Meurice tradition since 1835. Reimagined by Cédric Grolet, it begins with savoury refinement, from truffled finger sandwiches and caviar-topped salmon to a lobster roll-inspired brioche, before unfolding into his signature trompe-l’œil fruits and a procession of madeleines, cakes, brioches, and scones. From €95 per person, it feels both ceremonial and freshly alive.
For wellness, Spa Valmont pour Le Meurice introduces the Hydration des Bisses facial. Inspired by historic Swiss irrigation canals, the treatment utilizes Valmont’s HYDRA3 collection. It incorporates lymphatic drainage and a signature butterfly massage motion to stimulate circulation and improve skin flexibility. The treatment is priced at €215 for 60 minutes or €275 for 90 minutes.
With these refined new experiences, Le Meurice continues to embody the rarefied spirit of Parisian luxury, where historic grandeur meets contemporary indulgence with effortless grace.
