Hôtel Plazal Athénée is a mythical hotel since it has created ‘Avenue Montaigne’, the fashion avenue of Paris. In 1852 Emperor Napoléon III commissioned Georges Haussmann to transform Paris, a quiet medieval city, into a modern, bustling capital. During this period, Plaza Athénée  was built among many legendary hotels as symbols of traditional French style. The Hôtel Plaza Athénée opened its doors at 25 Avenue Montaigne in 1911. Parisian and international society quickly flocked to its elegant salons, and by 1936, the hotel had received international recognition. The hotel soon gained an enviable reputation for luxury, service and glamor.  Seeing the attraction created by the hotel, Christian Dior opened his boutique in 1946 and together with his followers he turned Avenue Montaigne into a place of ‘haute couture’.
