Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on the Right Bank in the Arsenal district, peaceful riverside quays place you minutes from the Marais and the Bastille.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look over the Seine and Parisian rooftops, complemented by rich saddle leather, lustrous wood paneling, and marble baths.
Pool, hammam, and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
An ozone-treated indoor lap pool sits beneath white mosaic columns, beside a tiled steam room and a full gym.
The spa
Spa Maison CODAGE uses custom-blended serums and apothecary treatments across three oak-paneled rooms accented with green marble.
Dogs stay too.
Bonnie Restaurant
Mirrored ceilings reflect psychedelic carpets in the dining room, and the wraparound terrace looks directly toward the Eiffel Tower.
The terrazzo flooring with marble inserts, soaring volumes, and striking mushroom-shaped pillars make the first big impression once you’re through the door.
Bonnie Bar
Royal blue carpets and curved bouclé sofas line the top-floor glass lounge, looking out across the Seine at sunset.
How it began
Built in 1966 as a municipal administration center, the riverside complex was reimagined by David Chipperfield into an open cultural hub.
“The design from Paris-based architects RDAI is retro-futuristic, with rounded couches and soaring ceilings, while decorative touches are nods to the neighborhood.”
