Also in Tatler.
the lobby level is a postmodern period piece, a fantasy that evokes the romance of travel in a bygone era.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The 1st Arrondissement location places the Bourse de Commerce, the Louvre, and the food stalls of Rue Montorgueil a short walk away.
The rooms
Sloping atelier skylights frame zinc rooftops and church spires, paired with angled walnut paneling, leather seating, and speckled mosaic bathrooms.
Spa, sauna and gym
A wood-lined sauna looks straight onto Paris streetscapes, set beside two KOS Paris treatment rooms and a fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Kitchen by Madame Rêve
Eight-meter ceilings and Secessionist chandeliers crown the grand cafe, serving French dishes developed with chef Stéphanie Le Quellec.
Hotel Madame Rêve sits at the intersection of history and modern hospitality… the transformation inside is all contemporary sophistication: think velvet textures, bronze accents and marble bathrooms.
At the table
La Plume serves French-Japanese dishes overlooking the rooftops, and ROOF pours cocktails across a thousand-square-meter planted terrace.
How it began
Once the city's 24-hour central post office, the 1888 landmark displays eight hundred pieces of mail art alongside an active postal counter.
