Kimpton St. Honoré Paris: A Casual Elegance & Carefree Attitude, Typical of Parisian Chic
The Kimpton St. Honoré Paris, is the first property in IHG Hotels & Resorts‘ luxury boutique hotel brand in France. Creative craftsmanship and authentic service are the hallmarks of this 1917 building, a true Art Nouveau gem. Nestled in the Opera district, just steps away from Place Vendôme, the Paris Opera, Faubourg St Honoré and the Tuileries Gardens.
Nestled at “La Samaritaine de luxe” a former Department Store, dating back to the early 20th century. It has been converted by architect and interior designer Charles Zana into a luxurious space that combines sophistication and casualness. The influence of the 1930s and Art Deco is omnipresent in the 123 elegant rooms and 26 superb suites, inspired by Parisian apartments with their balconies, huge picture windows and hand-picked works of art, adding to the hotel’s emblematic touch of Parisian chic. The original breathtaking wooden staircase and elevator have been restored and are among the highlights of the hotel.
