The house
Esprit de FranceSecluded literary sanctuary
Behind a carriage gate on Rue Cambon, reception sits in a top-floor literary salon with velvet armchairs and skyline chimney views.
“The 20 guest rooms—resembling Parisian apartments with parquet floors, decorative wall moldings, and custom furniture—are spread out on the top floors of the residential building.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
This hideaway feels more like a Parisian residence than a hotel, with parquet floors, velvet accents, and views over the rooftops.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Step straight onto legendary Rue Cambon, minutes from Place Vendôme and the leafy allées of the Tuileries Garden.
The rooms
Parquet flooring, soft duck-egg blues, and tailored tweed textures give each room the quiet air of a private Parisian apartment.
Bar
Top-Floor Attic Salon
Guests gather beneath the rafters for breakfast beside the fireplace, or pour wine from the all-day honesty bar.
Turning traditional hotel design on its head, the reception and lounge areas crown the hotel in the top floor attic space, where...the décor takes its cues from a French literary salon
How it began
Author Stendhal once lived in the townhouse, which inspired the hotel's name after his 1827 debut novel.
