Downstairs, striking public spaces feature the historic buiding’s original moulding, but painted blood-red, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stocked with art and design books, a ceiling fresco offset by rich blacks, metallic hues, and dramatic lighting.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Gros-Caillou, cobblestone streets lead past the open-air stalls of Rue Cler to the vast lawns of Champ de Mars.
The rooms
Angled windows and wrought-iron balconies frame front and side perspectives of the Eiffel Tower across classic zinc rooftops.
The hammam and gym
On the lower vaulted level, a traditional Turkish hammam steam bath sits beside a compact fitness room.
Restaurant
La Comtesse Café
Morning pastries give way to afternoon hot chocolate and evening French wines beneath sculptural cloud lights.
How it began
The 19th-century Haussmannian building draws inspiration from Enlightenment salon hostesses who gathered writers and thinkers in their Left Bank drawing rooms.
