2026
Fresh off a two-year renovation, the landmark hotel still exudes a sense of timeless glamour…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the Opéra district, the hotel sits a short walk from Palais Garnier, high-jewelry flagships along Place Vendôme, and the Louvre.
The rooms
Accommodations channel classic Parisian pieds-à-terre with decorative fireplaces, high molded ceilings, concealed mirror televisions, and deep soaking bathtubs.
The hammam
A green-tiled steam room provides quiet heat sessions just off the treatment suites.
The spa
Light-wood treatment rooms host custom facials and restorative massages tucked away from the busy street.
The gym
Technogym cardio machines and free weights line mirrored walls, with hybrid elliptical bikes available for outdoor sessions.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Rivages
Pink velvet banquettes curve beneath a glass winter-garden atrium, where the kitchen serves Mediterranean plates.
At the table
Le Café Scribe pours specialty coffee on the street terrace, and the curved lounge bar mixes botanical cocktails.
How it began
In 1895, the Lumière brothers held the world's first public commercial cinema screening inside the building's historic Salon Indien.
