What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
rooms are on the cozier side, but feel bigger than their square footage with wide floor-to-ceiling windows and a light greige palette
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on Rue de Poissy in the Latin Quarter, you are steps from the medieval Collège des Bernardins and the Seine.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows brighten compact spaces finished in neutral greige, light wood floors, and pops of retro mustard and orange.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The subterranean heated pool is set against geometric tiling, with glowing arched alcoves and minimalist lounge chairs.
Spa, hammam, and gym
A tiled hammam and treatment room sit beside a fitness space outfitted with wooden NOHrD exercise equipment.

At the table
The ground-floor lounge serves a breakfast buffet and cocktails, and the seventh-floor terrace overlooks Parisian rooftops.
How it began
