Faubourg Saint-Honoré hotels unveil their chocolate masterpieces
The prestigious Faubourg Saint-Honoré hotels reinvent Easter with boldness and refinement. From the Hôtel de Crillon to the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, each palace has its own unique chocolate creation.
Hôtel de Crillon sublimates the classics
Chef Matthieu Carlin imagines a complete, sensorial collection. Strawberry shortcake, pistachio cake, praline eggs: each creation tells a story. The Tahitian vanilla and caramel flan seduces purists. Tea time in the Jardin d’Hiver and brunch in the Salons Historiques complete the experience. The creations are available until April 30 at Butterfly Pâtisserie.
Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg pays tribute to couture
Chef Shereen Khelif fuses chocolate and fashion. She imagined an egg-coffre with praline feuillantine, housing a golden chocolate dress. The inspiration comes from Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the temple of luxury. This sweet jewel pays homage to the icons of haute couture. A unique, daring and ultra-Parisian piece.
Mandarin Oriental celebrates nature
Chef Julien Dugourd designed “L’Éclosion”, an egg inspired by the hotel’s interior garden. Shiny shell, hazelnut praline, intense dark chocolate: everything about it exudes plant elegance. The gentle curves evoke the blossoming of flowers. The egg plays with finesse and strength. A poetic vision of gourmandise.
Maison Delano revisits history
The duo Enzo Ohayon and Paolo Minelli were inspired by the hotel’s 18th-century staircase. The result is a dark chocolate egg with a caramel heart, infused with coffee and hazelnut. The contrast between ancient and modern creates a delicious tension. A discreet yet sophisticated work of art.
Le Bristol Paris blends tradition and celebration
For its 100th anniversary, Le Bristol imagines an egg sculpted from grand cru cocoa. Johan Giacchetti adds fritures, chocolate chickens and homemade pralines. A surprise is hidden in the large format. Available from Épicerie des Ateliers, limited edition. Pure elegance, from April 2 to 27, 2025.
La Réserve Paris pays attention to detail
Jordan Talbot has created an egg inspired by the nun, rich in Dominican Republic chocolate. The heart blends spices and fruit with subtlety. The hotel is also offering “L’Instant Gourmand”, an exceptional snack from April 19 to 21. The whole experience exudes Parisian art de vivre, a blend of elegance and relaxation.
In the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Easter becomes a high-flying pastry parade. Each hotel offers its own interpretation of chocolate, between artistic creation and homage to the neighborhood. A sweet stroll not to be missed. For other gourmet addresses in Paris, explore our selection here.
