Le V: gourmet delights and privacy under a Gustave Eiffel glass roof

Just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs-Élysées, theHôtel Vernet is one of those precious addresses we love to come back to. Behind its century-old Haussmann façade, this member of the B Signature Hotels & Resorts collection has been reinvented under the inspired eye of François Champsaur. Le Vernet reveals itself as a singular place, where the charm of yesterday meets the elegance of today.

In a city with no shortage of fine addresses, some have that extra something that makes them unforgettable. Le V restaurant, nestled in the heart of the Hôtel Vernet, is the perfect blend of architectural heritage, culinary audacity and intimate atmosphere. A discreet setting, designed for those who know how to savor the finest pleasures.

The signature art of living

As soon as you enter Le V restaurant, your gaze falls on the sublime glass roof designed by Gustave Eiffel. A masterpiece of light by day, it creates a hushed atmosphere after dark, enveloping the room in an almost theatrical softness. The décor, designed like a collector’s home, combines contemporary works of art and designer furniture. Every detail tells a story, in a setting that’s both refined and warm.

In this setting, the Le V restaurant fully embodies the spirit of the Hôtel Vernet: an art of living à la française, discreet and demanding. Behind a large bay window, the open kitchen offers a glimpse of the precision of gestures, a veritable culinary ballet that illustrates both transparency and savoir-faire.

Le V also features a private lounge with patinated copper accents. Up to ten guests can gather here for a business lunch or an evening with friends.

French cuisine with a Sicilian accent

Chef Baldassare Mazzara’ s menu is resolutely gourmet and contemporary. Three key words: reinvent, rediscover and remember.

Here, the great classics of French cuisine are freed from all rigidity. The Chef boldly revisits them, drawing inspiration from the Sicilian flavors of his childhood. Each dish becomes a reinvented memory, sublimated by singular, gourmet pairings. Conceived as genuine moments of pleasure, his dishes play on textures, colors and the right combinations, supported by discreet technical skill. The menu, which evolves with the seasons, features products carefully selected for their quality and authenticity.

Le V also comes alive with themed evenings – Italian, Mediterranean or dedicated to truffles, for example – a real rendez-vous for lovers of culinary discoveries.

The art of cocktails

Adjoining the Le V restaurant, the lounge bar offers a warm atmosphere for signature cocktails and refined tapas. Behind the unstructured marble counter, the creations revolve around emblematic recipes, daring combinations and original flavors.

Under the ceiling adorned with a fresco by Jean-Michel Alberola, copper screens, delicately pleated sconces and works of art complete a decor that is both modern and lived-in. A lively and convivial place, the lounge bar brings together Parisians and cosmopolitan travellers for light or lively conversation.

A five-star hotel with resolutely Parisian charm

Behind its Haussmann-style façade in the Golden Triangle, Hôtel Vernet reveals 50 rooms and suites that combine the refinement of materials with the audacity of graphic design. Made-to-measure furniture, solid oak headboards, exceptional fabrics: every detail has been carefully considered.

True to the spirit of B Signature Hotels & Resorts, Hôtel Vernet cultivates the art of warm hospitality, imbued with delicate attentions. More than a stay, it offers a true Parisian experience.
