Rapper Eminem is currently in Europe promoting his newest album, Recovery and he decided to shack up at Le Meurice for his stay in Paris. We love Le Meurice because they have cute bikes and even cuter cakes but Em is probably fond of his $20,000 a night Belle Etoile penthouse suite.

In a piece about the eccentric history of the Le Meurice with guests ranging from Orson Welles to Barbra Streisand, Bloomberg writes:

On a recent spring afternoon, the walls in rap artist Eminem�s 14,000 euro ($19,476)-a-night Belle Etoile penthouse suite pulsated with music and perhaps the memory that Le Meurice served as German army headquarters during the Nazi occupation.

General Dietrich Von Choltitz, seemingly dissatisfied with the accommodations at the nearby Hotel de Crillon, moved his command to Le Meurice in August 1944 after he was appointed military governor. He famously defied Hitler�s order to ensure Paris not fall into Allied hands without lying in complete debris.
Outside on the curb, an idling motorcade of four Mercedes- Benz limovans with smoked windows waits for Eminem�s expedition into Paris. The rapper appraises the hotel where the German army was based with a �yeah, right.�

The hotel is also a favorite today for Beyonce and Kanye West but never fear, you won't have to ~~empty your bank account~~ splurge for the Belle Etoile. The newly renovated rooms start at um...er...�665 a night, not including breakfast. We hope Eminem at least got a Flowerbomb cake during his stay.
