What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Life inside the hotel is a little more sedate, in a good way — its rooms, though circus-inspired, are elegant and quietly playful.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set beside the historic Cirque d'Hiver in Folie-Méricourt, with the boutiques of the Haut-Marais and Place de la République steps away.
The rooms
Soundproofed bedrooms pair vibrant color palettes and zinc rooftop views with classic Parisian wrought-iron railings over Boulevard du Temple.
The sauna and hammam
Underground, a glass-fronted Finnish sauna sits beside a Ceppo sandstone steam bath and candlelit hot tub.
The gym and showers
A compact fitness room with Technogym treadmills and free weights adjoins private Ceppo stone shower suites.
At the table
Mornings begin with fresh pastries beneath fringed chandeliers before the lobby lounge turns to evening cocktails beside boulevard windows.
How it began
The property honors French parachutist Édith Clark, celebrated for her daring low-altitude parachute jump from the adjacent Cirque d'Hiver dome.
