Its interiors, however, are exquisitely designed by Jacques Garcia, whose typically romantic style is at its most refined here.
“Privacy and discretion reign supreme behind the iconic red door of this Jacques Garcia-styled hideaway between the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hidden along tree-lined Avenue Gabriel, the hotel sits steps from the Grand Palais and the haute couture flagships of Avenue Montaigne.
The rooms
Versailles parquet and marble fireplaces anchor the quarters, paired with damask-lined walls, Carrara marble bathrooms, and dedicated round-the-clock butler service.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 16-meter heated indoor lap pool runs between stone pillars and alcoves lined with crimson daybeds.
The spa
Beyond the red-lacquered reception, three private suites specialize in Swiss Nescens cellular rituals and anti-aging therapies.
The gym
Cardio machines and wooden resistance apparatus line the mirrored gym, which hosts Lagree Microformer training sessions.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Three-Michelin-starred Le Gabriel serves tasting menus indoors, while Bar Le Gaspard pours cocktails onto its Avenue Gabriel terrace.
All 40 of the rooms and suites, regardless of size or position, are strikingly sumptuous, swathed in silk and velvet, heavy on classical motifs.
How it began
Built in 1854 as a private residence for the Duc de Morny, this Haussmannian mansion later belonged to fashion designer Pierre Cardin.
“it’s the intuitive service and the feeling of staying somewhere genuinely personal that sets La Réserve apart.”
