What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
here you’ll find a stylish, modern 143-room boutique hotel that would, quite frankly, be worth a look even without its artistic focus
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Montparnasse near Place de Catalogne, the quiet residential street is moments from historic artist studios and Gaîté metro station.
The rooms
Every room features custom headboard murals or graphic artwork, grouped across floors dedicated to distinct contemporary French illustrators.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The subterranean heated pool is bordered by stepped pale wood decking beneath Marion Charlet's vibrant mural.
The spa
Backlit green alcoves hold cushioned daybeds for unwinding between bodywork sessions in the quiet treatment rooms.
The sauna
A traditional wooden sauna offers quiet warmth alongside rain showers lined in glossy red tile.
Restaurant
Le Ramier
Sunlight fills the glass-roofed conservatory, where seasonal French dishes accompany a generous weekend brunch buffet.
At the table
Behind an unmarked door, speakeasy bar Dépendance mixes evening cocktails beneath Lucie Picandet's painted cosmic mural.
How it began
Founded by the team behind the Drawing Now art fair, the hotel was created as an immersive residential showcase for contemporary drawing.
