What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
this former 17th-century townhouse—now a chic, 49-room hotel—cloaks a dramatic, high-ceilinged Grand Salon, crowned with a spectacular chandelier and marked with gilded mirrors.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step outside onto Rue Dauphine, where antiquarians and Left Bank cafés lead directly toward the Pont Neuf and the Seine.
The rooms
Exposed oak beams run across the ceilings, paired with Versailles parquet floors, custom textiles, and marble bathrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 20-meter heated indoor pool rests beneath slatted timber ceilings and arched stone alcoves.
The spa and gym
Gold mosaic treatment rooms host Phytomer and Le Labo therapies beside a 24-hour fitness room overlooking the water.

Bar
Café Laurent
Live jazz fills this intimate salon from Thursday through Saturday, played around a grand piano and leather armchairs.
At the table
Breakfast is served beneath a verdant wall tapestry, or outside around the white umbrellas of the ivy-lined patio.
How it began
Dating to 1630, this private townhouse once hosted Enlightenment salons for Voltaire and Rousseau before becoming a Left Bank jazz haunt.
