莫里斯酒店的美好恒久而優雅，她的渊源要追溯到1771年的法国北部港口城市加莱。英国上流社会的旅客们早期穿过多弗尔海峡进入法国，多要在此落脚歇息后再前往巴黎。当地的一位32岁的邮政所长查尔斯·奥古斯丁·莫里斯（1739-1820）发现这是个商机，于是开设了一个小驿站，招待英国客人食宿一两日，再把他们送上去巴黎的马车。那时，从加莱到巴黎的路程要耗费36小时。
时光荏苒，老莫里斯79岁时，正是法国近代史中最混乱的时期，波旁王朝复辟推翻拿破仑的第一共和国，又推出路易十八皇帝即位，社会浮乱管制放松，老莫里斯的儿子路易斯·莫里斯听从父亲的建议，抓住机会于1818年跑来巴黎开设了第二家“莫里斯”旅馆。大约十二年后，正值1830年七月革命，巴黎人民起义再次推翻了帝制，全城沸腾而时局更加混乱。此时，小莫里斯再次抓住机会努力筹措，竟如鱼得水般地在1835年把莫里斯酒店正式搬到紧邻杜乐丽皇宫花园的现址开业！
巴黎莫里斯，一场流动的盛宴就此开场，成就跨越三个世纪的传奇。
The history of Le Meurice hotel begins in 1771 in Calais， France， where upper-class British travellers on their way to Paris would arrive after crossing the Straits of Dover. There， a 32 year-old enterprising regional postmaster， Charles-Augustin Meurice （1739-1820）， welcomed them to French shores， putting them up in his Calais coaching inn and arranging rides to Paris aboard his coach service. Back then， it was a 36-hour trip.
When old Maurice reached the age of 79， it was the most chaotic period of French modern history. Bourbon was to overthrow Napoleon's first Republic， and Louis XVIII was about to be enthroned， and the social order was absent.Following his dad's advice， Louis Meurice built a second coaching in Paris in 1818 to welcome the weary travellers upon arrival. After twelve years， at the time of July revolution in 1830， the Parisians begun to overthrow the emperor， chaos ensued. Le Meurice moved in 1835 to its present site， one of the most fashionable locales in the city， overlooking the historic Tuileries Garden.
Le Meurice Paris， a moving feast， a legend spanning over three-century， now begun.
