The house
Maison Albar HotelsHaussmannian spa residence
The Albar family runs this Haussmannian townhouse as an intimate residence, with a quiet spa tucked beneath the street.
What it’s good at
Listed
Duplex rooftop suites provide automated universal controls and sweeping skyline views across Paris.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Pont Neuf and the Seine sit just down the street, and the Louvre Museum is a short stroll away.
The rooms
Bedrooms are dressed in pastel velvet and leather. Top-floor duplex suites look out across Paris through massive rooftop windows.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Tiled columns and a candlelit alcove flank the indoor pool, which connects directly to an adjoining hot tub.
The spa
Cinq Mondes treatments and rituals are delivered across three therapy cabins fitted with heated massage tables.
Hammam and gym
A tiled hammam rests under starlight fiber-optic lights, beside a 24-hour gym fitted with wooden wall bars.
At the table
Odette serves seasonal French plates for sharing, flanked by a floor-to-ceiling glass wine cellar and a cocktail bar.
How it began
This 1866 Haussmannian building served as the headquarters for fashion house Céline before its conversion into a hotel.
