Though not large, the spatial layout is intended to maximize comfort without sacrificing elegance.
Dining, Wellness & Celebration Options
Staying in the Superior Room grants full access to Mandarin Oriental Paris, Lutetia’s culinary, wellness, and event offerings.

In-room dining is available, allowing guests in the Superior Room to enjoy selected menus within the privacy of their room.
The wellness offering is anchored by Akasha Spa, a sanctuary located beneath the hotel, conceived during the major renovation.

Key Event Months in Paris
Paris hosts many prestigious events that often drive demand for hotel rooms. The French Open (Roland-Garros) is held annually in late May to early June, drawing tennis fans worldwide. Bastille Day on July 14 fills the city with fireworks and cultural celebrations. The Paris Fashion Weeks, occurring in March and September/October, attract the fashion elite and sparkle in media coverage globally. The Nuit Blanche art festival in October invites the city into all-night immersive experiences. While Paris does not host a central Formula 1 Grand Prix, the French Grand Prix at circuits outside the city can influence regional luxury travel demand.

Comparative Perspective
When comparing the Superior Room at Mandarin Oriental Paris, Lutetia with comparable premium rooms at other luxury Paris hotels—such as the Deluxe Room at Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris or Aman’s top rooms—distinctives emerge. The Superior Room offers a boutique, refined Left Bank setting rooted in historic architecture and recent restoration craftsmanship. George V’s Deluxe rooms often lean toward classic French grand décor, ornate moldings, and formal layouts. Aman’s offering would typically emphasize minimalism, tranquility, and retreats. While all deliver high standards of comfort and service, those who value artistic renovation, Left Bank charm, and integrated wellness might favor the Superior Room at Lutetia.
