Vibe
Three unified Left Bank townhouses center around a quiet fireplace salon lined with Gallimard paperbacks and velvet armchairs.
“Left Bank literary sanctuary”
Three seventeenth-century Left Bank townhouses where James Joyce completed Ulysses in 1921.
Didier Benderli interiors pairing oak herringbone parquet with custom woodwork and curated Gallimard libraries.
Subterranean vaulted stone cellars housing an indoor plunge pool, hammam, and customized Codage treatments.
On a quiet Left Bank lane, steps from Boulevard Saint-Germain, the Seine, and Musée d'Orsay.
Rooms
Oak herringbone parquet, custom woodwork, and muted palettes shape the quarters, with upper suites tucking beneath exposed attic beams.
Wellness
Down in the vaulted stone cellars, a subterranean plunge pool and hammam sit alongside treatment rooms using customized Codage serums.
Backstory
James Joyce finished writing Ulysses in these townhouses in October 1921, joined later by literary regulars like T.S. Eliot.
Eat & drink
Chef Thibault Sombardier turns out French neo-bistro plates at Les Parisiens, followed by nightcaps at the clubby James Joyce Bar.
The neighborhood
Tucked along Rue du Pré-aux-Clercs, the hotel sits steps from Boulevard Saint-Germain's cafés and a short stroll to the Musée d'Orsay.
“A literary-inspired hotel that’s big on history, comfortable design, and gastronomy, in the heart one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Paris.”
