What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Well - located in the lively Sablon district, rich in antiques’ dealers and posh chocolate makers.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The surrounding cobblestones are lined with chocolate shops and art galleries, where open-air antique markets gather on weekends.
The rooms
Understated rooms keep to calm neutral tones, and front-facing windows look straight across the square to the Gothic church.
The gym
The subterranean gym has cardio machines and free weights set against a forest photo mural.
Restaurant
Hispania Brasserie by Marcos Morán
A circular brass bar pours regional Spanish wines, and the kitchen prepares Asturian fabada and Iberian ham croquettes.
How it began
The 1991 building stands on the site of an abbey refuge, preserving an 18th-century stone portal on the street.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
