Martin Brudnizki's debut Parisian hotel unfolds like a botanical fantasy across Faubourg Montmartre, from mosaic-lined mineral pools beneath ground level to a fig-and-olive rooftop bar overlooking Sacré-Cœur. Triple-Michelin-starred Dominique Crenn helms the Golden Poppy restaurant, serving inventive pescatarian plates in a sun-drenched setting. The 73 rooms balance maximalist floral wallpapers and mid-century furnishings in orange and turquoise with the calm of a central courtyard garden—ideal for design devotees seeking exuberant interiors and serious gastronomy.

2. Les Bains

Born as Belle Époque thermal baths in 1885, this storied address became the epicenter of Parisian nightlife in the 1980s, when Bowie, Jagger, and Warhol descended on its Philippe Starck-designed interiors.

Adults-only hedonism for culture-driven travelers.

3. Château Voltaire

1 Michelin Key

Fashion hotelier Thierry Gillier transformed three seventeenth- and eighteenth-century buildings between the Opéra and Tuileries into this discreet thirty-two-room retreat, modeled after Los Angeles' Château Marmont for its insider appeal during fashion week. Festen's design balances understated sophistication in the suites with velvet-and-leather drama at La Coquille d'Or bar, while Brasserie l'Emil draws locals for unfussy French fare. A subterranean spa with plunge pool completes the intimate atmosphere favored by stylish Parisians.

Architect Philippe Medioni revived a derelict building in Paris's 10th-meets-3rd arrondissement—near Canal Saint Martin and the upper Marais—into a boutique hotel dressed in House of Hackney palm wallpaper and Madeleine Castaing carpets. Each of the 18 rooms features a marble bartop with icemaker and cocktail tools, while the ground-floor bar draws locals and guests alike.

6. Soho House Paris

1 Michelin Key

In Pigalle, Soho House Paris turns a 19th-century apartment building once tied to Jean Cocteau’s family into a clubby, design-forward address for entrepreneurs, creatives and fashion insiders. Guests carry member status during their stay, unlocking the restaurant, bar, health club with sauna and steam room, and a red-velvet Cabaret Room whose performances lean into the district’s Moulin Rouge mythology.

7. Bachaumont

Once a grand 19th-century palace, Bachaumont has been reimagined with Art Deco influences by Dorothée Meilichzon, whose contemporary vision fills 49 rooms with vibrant blues and greens, modern furniture, and antique accents.

8. Dame des Arts

Raphaël Navot—2023 Maison & Objet Designer of the Year—reimagined a 1950s theater into this Left Bank address with fluted oak walls, charred floors, and over 500 artworks channeling French New Wave cinema. A third of the 109 rooms open onto terraces overlooking Paris rooftops, some catching the Eiffel Tower. Chef Othoniel Alvarez Castaneda's Mexican cooking fuses French and Japanese notes at Pimpan, while the eighth-floor rooftop bar sweeps 360 degrees from Les Invalides to Sacré-Cœur.

9. Kimpton St-Honoré

Steps from the Palais Garnier, this 1917 Art Nouveau building—once a luxury department store—now houses a Kimpton outpost where Parisian designer Charles Zana has layered Déco and modernist touches over turquoise, copper and gold architectural details. A mosaic-tiled pool, Codage spa and rooftop draw the fashion set, while the restaurant pivots from traditional French fare to a Californian menu rich in plant-based plates.

10. L'Hôtel Particulier Montmartre

Accessed via an unmarked green gate on avenue Junot, this Directoire-style mansion—once owned by the Hermès and Rothschild families—conceals five artist-designed suites within 900m² of private gardens.
