LE CINQ CODET: A CONFIDENTIAL HAVEN OF ARTISTRY
Emanating like a beacon with its 1930s industrial-classified facade, Le Cinq Codet, a 2L Collection gem, appears to advance gracefully toward the Dôme des Invalides. Once the central hub of France Telecom, this hotel has transformed into an exclusive and refined sanctuary. Within the cathedral-like lobby, a series of blurred photographs reminiscent of Rodin’s work, conceived by architect and designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, adorn salons, corridors, rooms, and living spaces with over 400 pieces of art.
Surrounded by works from Jean-Pierre Foucher, Gilles Triard, Béatrice Grand Jean, Alice Heit, Garouste, Vitra, Arper, among others, the ambiance exudes elegance, character, and comfort. Step into Chiquette restaurant, a gallery-like space with artwork by Arthur Simony, connecting seamlessly to a splendid patio adorned with Japanese maple trees. Chef David Maroleau crafts a menu blending Asian, French, Mexican, and Californian influences, featuring dishes like Scottish or Argentine meats and Annie Bertin’s renowned vegetables.
The experience of sleeping at Le Cinq Codet is equally exceptional. Nuel has bestowed the rooms and suites with an artist’s studio atmosphere, showcasing incredible ceiling heights. Junior Suites, resembling duplexes, provide unprecedented views of Les Invalides, while certain rooms offer a yacht-inspired setting with a small lounge, resin and glass furnishings. The Suite Codet, Eiffel, Rodin, and Dôme present incredible volumes and terraces with jacuzzis for an unparalleled view of Paris. To add to the enchantment, the CODAGE product line contributes to well-being, and the outdoor Spa on the third floor features a jacuzzi and swing amidst lush greenery.
HÔTEL PULITZER PARIS: AMID GRAND BOULEVARDS AND COVERED PASSAGES
A locale immortalized in Yves Montand’s “J’aime flâner sur les grands boulevards,” the setting of the French branch of Pulitzer Hotels group is sung about in the heart of the bustling area. A family-run enterprise managing hotels in France, Spain, and Argentina, Pulitzer Hotels creates cocoons where human connection, warmth, charm, comfort, and discreet luxury harmonize. Designed by Lazaro Rosa-Violan, a passionate traveler who infuses the Pulitzer Paris with a style fusing past and present trends, the hotel features a reception along a long corridor housing various spaces—a restaurant, a bar, and an adorable patio.
Whether craving breakfast, lunch, or dinner, Hôtel Pulitzer Paris caters to all, with staff going the extra mile to delight guests. During the aperitif hour, the bartender crafts imaginative cocktails and refreshing drinks accompanied by a wide selection of tapas. Don’t miss the delightful Chicken in the Forest at the restaurant—an exquisite chicken supreme served with herb mash and mushroom sauce. For dessert, the traditional lemon tart is a delight. Not to forget the Patio, adorned with a glass roof and strings of lights for a joyful atmosphere during this festive season.
The festive spirit also pervades the Pulitzer Paris neighborhood, home to the Folies Bergères since the 19th century—a theater that once welcomed all of Paris. If the mood for antique books, posters, and other treasures strikes, the must-visit passages of Verdeau and Jouffroy showcase the art of hunting for unique finds. And if a craving for a final snack arises, head to Bouillon Chartier, a brasserie since 1896 embodying the great lineage of Parisian brasseries.
As the time to sleep approaches, the rooms at Pulitzer Paris are equally charming and characterful, with their décor blending retro and contemporary objects. From the spacious Suite Pulitzer with its view to the Petite Mansarde, creating the sensation of being on the roof of Paris—the Pulitzer promises an unforgettable stay.

Located a stone’s throw from the Champs-Élysées, Avenue Montaigne, and Faubourg Saint-Honoré, the entirely renovated Hôtel de Montesquieu in 2022 epitomizes the essence of Parisian elegance, romance, and grand museums. Paying homage to the Enlightenment philosopher Charles Louis de Secondat, Baron de la Brède et de Montesquieu, the hotel becomes a haven at the crossroads of Western and Eastern cultures. The lobby, with its moldings, vermilion red hues, opulent details, and Japanese-inspired furniture, echoes the spirit of the Persian Letters, initiating a journey reminiscent of 19th-century family homes where the art of travel began to blossom.
Every room and suite narrates a unique story, unveiling timeless charm with antique furniture alongside oriental pieces adorned with mother-of-pearl and rare woods. Precious fabrics and enveloping hues bestow each space with a distinctive and refined identity. In the bathroom, the SOTHYS beauty line enhances comfort, elevating nights at Hôtel de Montesquieu.
