5 stylish hotels to meet up in Paris
Hotels have reinvented themselves as true living spaces. We come here for cocktails, to enjoy the spa, to dine or to escape without leaving Paris. It’s a great place to live.
The 9 Confidentiel
The latest jewel designed by Philippe Starck, 9 Confidentiel brilliantly combines authenticity, modernity and poetry. Behind a sublime Art Deco façade in the heart of the Marais district lies a new address that’s hard to ignore. The decor is freely inspired by the Roaring Twenties, with surprising touches from elsewhere, such as the African masks here and there.
The bar, Le Confidence, lives up to its name, inviting discretion in an intimate setting. It’s the perfect place for a romantic rendezvous, as is the tea room featuring Yann Couvreur’s gourmet pastries. We also love the in-room treatments offered by the Codage brand for happy hotel guests.
We love: the warmth and intimacy exuded by the entire hotel and its staff.

Hôtel Bowmann
Hôtel Bowmann is the new precious and select address in the 8th arrondissement. Chemistry between the historic building and the elegant decor is perfect. The restaurant is led by Chef Benjamin Thomas, and its pretty outdoor terrace is ideal for sunny days.
The spa is a welcome escape, with its pool, three cabins and treatments by Lacure. And if you get the chance, don’t miss the suite with its private terrace overlooking the whole of Paris.
We love: precious materials and tastefully distilled luxury details.
Bowmann Hôtel, 99 boulevard Haussmann, 75008

L’Hôtel & Spa Royal Madeleine
Orchestrated around a former covered passageway that now serves as a reception area, the Royal Madeleine is a veritable bubble of calm in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. This new-style home is warm and welcoming, whatever the time of day. The various living spaces are odes to Parisian art de vivre: the petit salon, the winter garden, the bar, the restaurant and the sublime spa.
We love: the impression of leaving the hustle and bustle of Paris as soon as you step through the doors.

Le Brach Hôtel
Designed by Starck, the Brach Hôtel has been attracting the Parisian elite since it opened. Is it its arty decor that appeals so much? Its healthy, gourmet restaurant led by Adam Bentalha ? Its complete health club with 22-meter pool and yoga classes ? Or its rooftop with panoramic views? The hotel has a lot to offer and leaves no one indifferent. As soon as you step through the doors, you’re immediately seduced.
We love: a variety of pleasures, from the spa to the rooftop.
Brach Hôtel, 1-7 rue Jean Richepin, 75016

Le 25Hours Terminus Nord
After Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg, this design hotel chain has decided to set up shop in Paris. Cosmopolitan and colorful, the hotel’s ethnic decor is at the crossroads of cultures, reflecting the Gare du Nord district. Whether in the cosy rooms, in the Sape Bar, which promises to become one of the neighborhood’s must-visit addresses, or in the Mediterranean restaurant Le Neni, life is good here.
We love: the cheerful atmosphere.
