The hotel is located in an aristocratic mansion off the stunning Place des Vosges, the gorgeous symmetrical centrepiece of the Marais district. Its hip boutiques and some of its best dining spots are a short walk away. Notre Dame and the banks of the Seine are 20 minutes’ walk away. The hotel is an ivy-covered vision of archetypal French loveliness. The 17th-century mansion, constructed under Henry IV, sits in its own private garden courtyard. Interiors were revamped by Didier Benderli of Kérylos Intérieurs. The lobby mixes Ancien Régime grandeur – think marble fireplaces and aristocratic portraits – with warm colours and sumptuous, soft furnishings. It has a countryside feel, despite being in the city centre.vThe hotel is an ivy-covered vision of archetypal French loveliness.
