WE’VE ROUNDED UP THE FIVE DISCREET BOUTIQUE HOTELS WHERE YOU WILL MOST PROBABLY MEET WITH SOME FASHION CELEBRITIES
LE NARCISSE BLANC HOTEL & SPA
It took two years of work to transform an office building into this discreet 5-star boutique hotel of 30 rooms and 7 suites with a terrace overlooking all of Paris. Le Narcisse Blanc is the perfect combination you need of calm and charm in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, a few steps away from the Alexandre III bridge and the Eiffel Tower.
The hotel’s small lounge, topped by a glass roof, is the ideal place for a coffee stop between shows or a drink served with tapas.
Cléo, the hotel’s restaurant, features a wellness menu concocted by Dr. Olivier Courtin – Clarins and chef Bruno Aubin: which is ideal to stay in shape during the fashion week.
The spa, by Clarins, offers a cabin, a fitness room, a 13-meter-long pool, and a sauna for a wellness break.
Ideally located in the center of Paris, next to Maison Chanel, a short walk from the Tuileries Gardens and Place Vendome. This discreet five-star hotel has 108 rooms, including 21 large suites: ideal when looking for a hotel for fashion week in Paris! A recent restoration has given it back all its luster: the decor does not boast a dazzling design but rather a classic and elegant Italian style, sometimes baroque, which does not exclude a contemporary touch.
The rooms, which are very pleasant, are housed in two separate wings: the Rivoli wing, which features a 1930s style, and the Opera wing, which has a more modern feel. The top: the Dolce Vita apartment, with its Italian style, offers two rooms separated by a large living room.
This beautiful 5-star hotel in the heart of the Golden Triangle and just a stroll away from the major fashion houses is a real couture meeting place, popular with models and other fashion actors. Inaugurated in 1920, it has been revised from A to Z and now has 50 rooms and suites, a restaurant, and a spa. The decoration signed Vincent Bastie and Arnaud Bezhadi has kept the spirit of the place and played with its classicism. Large volumes, moldings, and fireplaces, all sprinkled with powdered pink, blue or celadon tones and modern touches: aged brass, walnut, and custom-made furniture.
The restaurant, Café 52, directed by chef Maxime Raab, offers a “healthy” menu specifically concieved for fashionists. The Sunday brunch, with its magnificent buffet of appetizers on the sea and land sides, is a good idea.
While the Thala spa, bearing the colors of Holidaymie, is a true bubble of serenity. It houses a treatment room, private Jacuzzi, sauna, hammam, and fitness room with Technogym equipment.
Located in the heart of the Montmartre hilltop, this bohemian-style hotel is a true refuge.
This 4-star hotel in the Adresses Hotels collection, which has six addresses in Paris, offers a bohemian atmosphere throughout its 25 rooms, including two suites with balconies and two suites with gardens. The decor, designed by Marion Collard, mixes genres with furniture and objects found here and there: bamboo armchairs, Belle Epoque ceramic lamps, old radios transformed into Bluetooth speakers.
The restaurant, Café Aristide, features a menu with Mediterranean accents and plates to share and local producers as evidenced by the beer brewed at the Goutte d’Or and the coffee roasted by Lomi.
CHÂTEAU VOLTAIRE BY THE FOUNDER OF ZADIG & VOLTAIRE
This Chateau, originally conceived by Thierry Gillier, Founder of Zadig & Voltaire, is Ideally located in the heart of Paris between the Tuileries gardens and the Opera. This 5-star hotel has 32 rooms and a 40 m² crossing apartment with a green terrace designed by Louis Benech. The restaurant l’Émil, with its brasserie feel, has quickly become a meeting place for fashionistas. The seasonal menu adopts some southern accents and also a very French cuisine: beef filet béarnaise, sea bass with beurre blanc… The bar La Coquille d’Or, named after the 16th-century motif that adorns its street entrance, has a very cozy atmosphere: black lacquered walls and ceiling, thick carpeting, where you can sip cocktails. A spa in the basement with a private pool is the ultimate glamorous touch for a contemporary and very central Parisian spa hotel!
