Located on the prettiest of our squares, the Hôtel Récamier looks like a typical Germanopratine bourgeois house. Decorated by Jean-Louis Deniot, its luxury is not ostentatious, it is just chic. Its 24 rooms are all intimate, comfortable and precious cocoons. And at Récamier, tea time is sacred, on the patio on sunny days or by the fireplace in winter.
In the long tradition of hotel bars, discreet, hushed and distinguished, where you come across over a cocktail, a writer, an actress or a few friends who share Oscar Wilde’s secret: Luxury, calm and voluptuousness. The magical cocktail menu offers signature cocktails (the oldest, the Hotel, or The Usual created for Tilda Swinton) and original creations. On Thursday evenings, we also come to listen to jazz.
A sublime 5* hotel imagined by the owners of Maison Favart in homage to Cléo de Mérode, Parisian, dancer at the Paris Opera, muse and model of Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec or Nadar, who was nicknamed Le petit Narcisse and whose Cocteau said she was the Beauty of the beauties.
Central but discreet, it is a truly Parisian address. The 30 rooms and 7 suites combine luxurious and refined art deco and art nouveau decor, imagined by designers Laurent & Laurence, in collaboration with decorators Thierry Martin and Thibaut Fron.
To drink tea, several small lounges give the impression of being almost in a pied-à-terre: the boudoir lounge, the glass-roofed lounge adjoining the reception and the library lounge.
The clean-lined Spa offers a superb 13-metre swimming pool, a hot tub, a hammam, a sauna, a fitness room and bespoke Carita and Kos Paris treatments.
But at the Narcisse Blanc there is also a restaurant, the Cléo, a superb address for lunch or dinner. Chef Bruno Aubin surprises us with a contemporary, organic and creative cuisine that has many followers, residents or visitors. The wine list was drawn up there by the Best Sommelier of the World 2000, Olivier Poussier.
Castel is the mythical club of Saint-Germain. A hundred times people said it was over, but it always comes to life again, constantly attracting new customers that become regulars. The clientele is a show by itself. A wildlife crowd of young trendy people mixes naturally with the longstanding regular customers for memorable parties.
L’Esprit Saint-Germain is a hotel designed as a private house in minute detail. This hotel has nothing ostentatious but has a true “spirit”, a mix of elegance and conviviality, comfort and refinement. Everything is thought through for us to feel at home. At any hour of the day, in the library living room, in front of the fireplace, we can read the newspaper, leaf through a book, drink a coffee or receive friends around a drink. And most of all, after a very full Parisian program, one cannot miss Relaxation Space : a hammam and a sauna with an unrestricted view on the Parisian roofs and the Saint-Sulpice Church.
Le Montalembert is the first 5-star hotel on the Left Bank. It dates from the 1920s and has kept its look and chic. Recently redecorated, it has kept this modern and quiet luxury, the pure lines, the dark woods and the muted hues. Here reigns good taste in its intimate version.
Spacious rooms, junior suites or suites
Une Brasserie, ouverte tout au long de la journée et des petits salons où il fait bon flâner
In the deep heart of Saint-Germain, in one of those little preserved streets of the old Paris, the Villa d’Estrées is almost a private house as it only has ten bedrooms. The style, in reference to the discrete elegance of the Paris of Napoléon the 3rd and of the baron Haussmann, harmoniously mixes antique furniture and contemporary facilities. Its living room is also a chic, intimate and warm meeting place.
