Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tree-lined Avenue de Saxe puts you steps from the Saxe-Breteuil open-air market, with the Eiffel Tower a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms pair custom oak woodwork and graphic carpets with zebra-striped marble bathrooms fitted with deep soaking tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A raised, marble-clad heated pool sits in the central courtyard garden, surrounded by checkerboard tiles and green topiaries.
The spa and gym
Subterranean SAX Le Club holds a Technogym fitness studio, a traditional sauna, a hammam, and two massage treatment rooms.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Kinugawa Rive Gauche
Franco-Japanese dishes and yuzu cocktails are served across the rooftop terrace, with direct views toward the Eiffel Tower.
Its luminous 118 rooms and suites are midcentury-modern in style, with brass accents, marble bathrooms, and abstract pops of color.
At the table
Restaurant Le Sax serves elevated French classics alongside evening sharing plates in a dining room lit by custom chandeliers.
How it began
Constructed in 1899, this neo-Gothic landmark originally housed the Ségur telephone exchange and still showcases its carved French Republic insignia.
