Also in AFAR.
this hotel, in Paris’s 16th, makes an unlikely sort of glamour from the materials of the 1970s, to suit the building’s vintage.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Located in the tranquil residential 16th arrondissement, the hotel sits a short walk from Passy food shops and the Trocadéro gardens.
The rooms
Rosewood walls, marble soaking tubs, and curated art books fill each room, while top suites feature private terraces with Norwegian wood tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The subterranean 22-meter lap pool is enclosed by warm terracotta walls and lined with relaxed daybeds.
The spa
Private treatment suites host custom facials and massages beside a Moroccan hammam and Finnish sauna.
The gym
The subterranean fitness club channels a 1930s boxing gym, equipped with vintage leather heavy bags and wooden floors.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Brach & Bar
Chef Adam Bentalha cooks Mediterranean and Levantine dishes in a room lined with towering backlit bookshelves.
The energetic vibe starts with the design, courtesy of Philippe Starck’s famous melange of styles—an African mask here, a sculptural lamp there.
At the table
Upstairs, the rooftop garden bar serves cocktails among vegetable beds with open views toward the Eiffel Tower.
How it began
Designer Philippe Starck reimagined a 1970s postal sorting facility into a warm, art-filled hub blending modernist architecture with raw materials.
