The intimate new La Réserve Paris Hotel and Spa is a true embodiment of French chic. Formerly the home of fashion icon Pierre Cardin, this beautiful stone mansion was built by the Duc de Morny, Napoleon’s III half brother, in 1854. Situated in a leafy, peaceful location, just by the Champs-Élysées and only slightly further to the Eiffel Tower, the wonders of Paris are on your doorstep.

Demure and discreet outside, but shamelessly opulent inside, this boutique hotel is not large, yet it evokes an improbable sense of spaciousness and grandeur.

Like sister hotel La Réserve Ramatuelle, which has become an icon of St. Tropez, La Réserve Paris, is private and faultless in its design. Both offer absolute luxury and refinement, combined with attentive service to the discerning guest.

Choose from 14 rooms and 26 suites, each with a dedicated butler who magically attends to every detail. Silk lined walls, velvet drapes, waffle weave fabrics, herringbone oak parquetry and unique pieces of antique furniture feature in all rooms.

Bathrooms are impeccably finished in Carrara and Turquin blue marble. The Lux Traveller recommends a stay in the suites which offer an authentic Parisian apartment all to oneself. Situated between the first and fifth floors, all are unique in design with floorplans ranging from 50sqm to 200sqm.

In a capital renowned for culinary excellence, dining is taken very seriously. La Réserve Paris rises to the challenge with two sublime restaurants, overseen by Executive Chef Jérôme Banctel. Michelin two-starred, Le Gabriel revisits the great classics of French gastronomy with an inspired Japanese twist. La Pagode De Cos, honours the wealth of the Bordeaux region’s seasonal produce. If you wish to dine in privacy, there is no strict room service menu. Just say the word and prepare for the finest in-room cuisine you will ever experience.

Unwind after a busy Parisian day, with a visit to La Réserve Paris Spa. Exclusively offering Nescens-Swiss anti-aging science cosmeceutical products, this divine oasis caters for men and women with sophisticated treatments by the 16m indoor pool.
