Plaza Athénée opened on 20 April 1913 under the management of Emile Armbruster, who named the property. In the 1920s, Jules Lefebvre expanded the hotel with apartment hotels, the restaurant La Cour Jardin, and two salons. The property later passed through the Forte Group (purchased 1968) before acquisition by the Dorchester Collection in 2001 on behalf of the Brunei Investment Agency, which purchased the buildings outright in 2003.
