Paris: the capital’s finest luxury hotels

1. Brach Paris- Evok Collection | La Muette | Paris 16th

In the 16th arrondissement, a stone's throw from Rue de la Pompe, a former 1970s postal sorting center has undergone a spectacular rebirth under the leadership of star architect Philippe Starck. Transformed into a luxury hotel by the visionary designer, Brach Paris (part of the Evok collection, alongside the Nolinski and the Cour des Vosges) has become one of the capital's most sought-after addresses. Covering 7,000 m², this Parisian lifestyle temple combines a restaurant, cocktail bar, exclusive sports club, patisserie, and green rooftop, offering a resolutely modern vision of urban luxury.

From the 1st to the 6th floor, the 59 rooms and suites combine comfort and sensuality in a setting inspired by 1930s modernism: rosewood, raw marble, fluted glass, leather, and slate blend together to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Here you will find unusual objects, works of art, and personalized literary selections that convey a certain idea of travel and taste. On the 5th and 6th floors, the suites, ranging from 60 to 210 m², open onto large tree-lined terraces with Norwegian baths or Jacuzzis, and some offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower (such as the Annette suite, a truly prestigious 210 m² apartment designed to accommodate up to 8 people with 4 private terraces). The bathrooms feature marble basins and superb bathtubs, accentuating the resolutely residential and refined atmosphere of the place.

The true heart of the establishment, the restaurant run by chef Adam Bentalha will delight your taste buds with its sunny cuisine featuring Mediterranean and Oriental flavors, served in a chic and lively dining room or on the first-floor terrace. On the wellness side, the sports club, inspired by 1930s boxing clubs, seduces with its exclusive spirit: a 22-meter swimming pool open 24 hours a day, a sauna, a hammam, a spectacular fitness room, and three treatment suites, including two doubles. Above, the 400 m² rooftop invites you to relax with its urban vegetable gardens and panoramic views of Paris. The Starck way of life.

2. Hôtel de Sers | Champs-Élysées | Paris 8th

Just a few steps from the Champs-Élysées, the Hôtel de Sers stands with its four-story neoclassical façade to the west of the Golden Triangle. Built in 1880 for Henri-Léopold de Sers, marquis and deputy of Loir-et-Cher, the building is the work of architect Jules Pellechet. Pellechet designed a majestic residence for this career military man, typical of the Second Empire style, intended to welcome the cream of Parisian high society.

In 2004, architect Thomas Vidalenc transformed this historic heritage site into a contemporary setting without betraying its soul. Nicknamed the "Baby Palace," the establishment welcomes its guests with a monumental white marble staircase bordered by a checkerboard floor and a Gallery of Portraits where the French aristocracy seems to watch over the premises. In the reception room, sculptural furniture in wenge wood and light oak adorns the space and sits alongside a collection of modern art.

The 52 rooms, whose elegance is nestled in herringbone parquet floors, fabrics, and a few works of art, promote a luxury that is more suggested than displayed. At the top of the hotel, the Marquis Apartment (75 m²) and the Panoramic Suite (60 m²) offer the rare privilege of private terraces, providing an exclusive tête-à-tête with the Eiffel Tower.

Back on the ground floor, life at the 5-star hotel on the Champs-Elysées is in full swing at the Du Sers restaurant, where chef Stefano Stafie celebrates cuisine for Italian lovers, at the discreet S'Bar, while the Calma Paris spa offers a regenerating wellness break. Guests flock here for the exclusive De Sers Ritual, a 75-minute journey combining sauna, shiatsu, and reflexology, ideal for rejuvenating the body after a stopover in the capital.

In addition, the menu offers other treatments such as Deep Tissue massage, which releases accumulated tension and improves mobility, the Foot Revitalization treatment, which alternates expert pressure on the arch of the foot with rhythmic rolling, and Thai massage on a table, combining stretching and reflexology to release energy flows.

3. Nolinski Paris | Opera | Paris 1st

Between the Louvre and the Opéra Garnier, the Nolinski Paris, the inaugural flagship of the EVOK group (Brach, Cour des Vosges, etc.), stands just a stone's throw from the Comédie-Française, on the edge of the Palais-Royal. Behind its slender Art Deco façade on Avenue de l'Opéra, this 5-star boutique hotel orchestrates a masterful encounter between Haussmannian splendor and Jean-Louis Deniot's contemporary aesthetic.

Upon entering, the scene is set by a minimalist reception desk carved from a block of Carrara marble. The interior designer has created a "couture" design, the centerpiece of which is the monumental staircase: decorated with hand-painted clouds, this ascending work of art invites guests to discover the six floors. The 45 rooms and 9 suites are designed as prestigious private apartments, where Deniot's style is expressed with force.

Shades of gray, polished concrete, plush velvet, and geometric mirrors create a cozy atmosphere that is the quintessence of Parisian chic. Some suites, peaceful retreats nestled under the eaves or featuring long balconies, offer breathtaking views of the 1st arrondissement without ever being affected by its hustle and bustle. 

The gourmet menu is enjoyed while seated on the corduroy benches of Nolinski Le Restaurant, where the chef generously reinterprets regional classics (pot-au-feu, poultry, macaroni gratin with morel mushrooms). In the evening, the cocktail bar, under a silver leaf ceiling and wall coverings by Florence Girette, offers a cozy setting accompanied by piano music.

Finally, the Spa by myBlend completes the experience. Under soft lighting, its 16-meter pool, sauna, hammam, and sophisticated treatment menu, designed for both women and men, offer a sensory escape. More accessible than a palace but just as exclusive.

4. Hôtel Montalembert | Saint-Germain-des-Prés | Paris 7th

Long before the term became a cliché in the hotel industry, the Montalembert invented the concept of the boutique hotel in 1926. Nestled in a street adjacent to the famous Rue du Bac, this bastion of the 7th arrondissement is not just a 5-star hotel; it is the historic headquarters of the Left Bank intelligentsia. In its cozy lounges, post-war writers and publishers remade the world, making this address in Saint-Germain-des-Prés a natural extension of the neighboring publishing houses.

Today, under the impetus of the B Signature group, architect Pascal Allaman is writing a new chapter. In the 50 rooms, luxury is a matter of thoughtful details—ebony parquet floors, bookcases filled with antique books, and televisions concealed behind gilded frames.

The highlight is on the top floors, where the suites offer spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower and zinc rooftops, with some even featuring a freestanding bathtub facing the Paris skyline. Suite 82, designed by Anne Jousse, is a cosmopolitan pied-à-terre where Rietveld designs rub shoulders with objects sourced from around the world.

Life in the neighborhood converges on the ground floor, where chef Cyril Russo offers lively cuisine, from high-end croque-monsieur to market vegetables. In 2024, the hotel added a mineral spa designed by Batiik Studio, offering a wide range of treatments. The Montalembert remains that Left Bank salon where people come for the breathtaking view over the zinc roofs and stay for the soul of Saint-Germain.

5. Le Cinq Codet | Invalides | Paris 7th

Le Cinq Codet is nestled on the corner of two side streets in the very bourgeois 7th arrondissement, at number 5 rue Codet, from which it takes its name. Rue de Grenelle is just a stone's throw away, and the Invalides can be seen from some of the rooms. The luxury hotel in Paris opened in a former telephone exchange dating from the 1930s, the surprising building taking the form of an ocean liner's bow. The decor is by Jean-Philippe Nuel, a French interior designer with a long track record in the luxury hotel sector (Molitor, InterContinental Marseille Hôtel Dieu...).

Inside

From the very first moment you enter the lobby, you're struck by the delicacy and elegance of the setting. And what an impression of space, with its discreet desks and contemporary sofas! The building houses 67 rooms and suites. The 29 different types have one thing in common: light and the omnipresent light oak. The decor breaks with the codes of the traditional hotel business and is closer to that of an apartment. No fewer than 400 works of art decorate the establishment. The boutique hotel aims to be a "Parisian pied-à-terre". On the top floor, the private terraces are spectacular. You can admire the Dôme des Invalides or the Eiffel Tower.

What about common areas?

The attention to detail and finishing touches are perfect throughout the hotel. Le Cinq Codet boasts a chic restaurant, the aptly named "Chiquette", one of the finest tables close to Invalides, which adjoins an informal bar-lounge area. Here, you can enjoy breakfasts, club sandwiches and other hotel menu classics at any time of day, as well as refined dishes such as this pan-fried sea bass with lemon, capers, and croutons, or crispy tempura baby squid with black garlic condiment When the weather's fine, the patio is very pleasant, and lunch is enjoyed in royal calm. The spa is intimate, with a herbal tea room, a massage room for two, a hammam and a fitness area. The wellness area features a surprising outdoor Jacuzzi, a rarity in Paris.

6. Hôtel Fouquet's Paris | Champs-Elysées | Paris 8th

At the corner of the Champs-Élysées and George V avenues in Paris's 8th arrondissement, the Barrière group has set up its palace above the legendary Brasserie Fouquet's, frequented by movie stars since the 1930s. The luxury hotel in Paris had to live up to the reputation of the famous restaurant, a glamorous address renowned the world over for its red velvet and photographs signed by Studio Harcourt. The challenge was met for this splendid vessel, which has everything it takes to seduce a palatial clientele.

The décor plays a major role in the chic, Parisian ambience. Designed by Jacques Garcia, it is contemporary and almost minimalist, contrasting with Garcia's usual passion for Grand Siècle tapestries and gilded woodwork. The 101 elegant rooms and suites of the Fouquet's Paris, decorated in beige and gold tones, feature marble bathrooms. Some rooms boast a breathtaking view of the Arc de Triomphe, adding an extra touch of luxury to guests' stay.

The restaurant offer is another highlight of the establishment. The Brasserie Fouquet's, whose menu is designed by three-starred chef Pierre Gagnaire, continues to attract gourmets from all over the world. Next to the pretty interior garden, the Le Joy restaurant offers a 100% "Made in France" menu, highlighting the expertise of local producers. In the basement, the 700 m² Diane Barrière Spa is a first-rate oasis of well-being. It features a 15-metre pool, where guests can relax with products and expertise from the Odacité brand, as well as make-up techniques from the renowned Studio Harcourt.

What sets it apart? Its rooftop and speakeasy, Le Marta, for a trendy Parisian experience with panoramic views of the City of Light. We also love the interior garden, perfect for relaxing just a stone's throw from the bustle of the Champs-Élysées.

He imagined a minimalist and timeless universe, in contrast to the aesthetic of the Hôtel Costes that Jacques Garcia had defined almost 30 years ago. The Costes Castiglione extension has its own entrance on Rue de Castiglione and a separate lobby. To enjoy the bar or restaurant, guests will visit the "Costes Saint-Honoré" areas.
