Our Inspector's Highlights
- Striking 1930s black-and-white Vogue photographs (more than 500 images) are hung on the walls of the corridors — they set a consistent Art Deco tone.
- Adding to the retro vibe are the black marble floors, rich fabrics, deep ebony furnishings with pops of color and flash, as well as a magnificent painting from Tamara de Lempicka, a famous Art Deco artist.
- Steps up from the fitness center entrance (complimentary for hotel guests) and past a few decorative statues is the private spa, dubbed the Wellness Suite, featuring a beautiful mosaic-tiled steam bath.
- Explore the City of Lights in style with one of the exceptional experiences put together by the Paris hotel’s Les Clefs d’Or concierge team.
Things to Know
- A 24-hour designer fitness center is available for those looking to grab a workout. A personal trainer is also available for 60-minute sessions upon request.
- Opt for the gourmet breakfast at the counter at La Scene. Enjoy eggs cooked to perfection by the chef in the open kitchen along with hand-made French pastries, potatoes and candied tomatoes.
The Rooms
- The Mosaic suites are so named because of the bathroom’s intricate designs of mosaic ceramic tiles sourced from the South of France.
- Some suites also have a lovely terrace overlooking Avenue George V. Larger suites come with sofa beds, leather chairs and faux fireplaces.
- The largest suite is fashioned as a Parisian apartment with a kitchen, an oversized terrace and a spectacular view of the Sacré-Coeur.
- All rooms are equipped with Nespresso coffee machines, flat-screen TVs and Christian Lacroix bath amenities.
The Restaurants
- La Scène, helmed by chef Stéphanie Le Quellec, is a lauded restaurant serving fine French fare in either a pre-fixe menu or a la carte.
- But you won’t find white tables and unnecessary pomp here — this place takes a more relaxed stance on fine dining with an open kitchen where you can view the chef in action.
- At the bar Les Heures, you can dine from an à la carte menu and order up meticulously made cocktails. It also converts into a lounge area for the weekend, DJ included.
- Le Patio’s garden area gives you a chance to dine alfresco without being next to a busy street — the space is tucked away and made gorgeous by lush greenery and colorful mosaics.
