“This opulent hotel is nestled in the heart of Paris' historic 8th arrondissement. Guest suites proffer classic French elegance with an Italian twist; expect baroque-style gilded picture frames and hand-selected antiques. Book a suite for a family stay. Small yet with a real heart, truly Splendid !”

Hotel review

Part of the Roberto Naldi Collection as well as being a Relais & Châteaux. The hotel is nicely tucked away in the heart of the 8th arrondissement and the French president lives just round the corner at Palais de l’Élysée. Close to upmarket specialist art and antique shops and a mere stroll from the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and Arc de Triomphe. With its emerald-green façade, a discreet entrance and marble-floored reception, it feels like a private 19th century residence. There are white marble busts and charming gilt-framed Impressionistic paintings of Parisian street scenes.

The twelve generously proportioned luxury suites each have balconies offering a morning view of the Eiffel Tower in the distance. There are opulent gilded touches everywhere; from the bed frames to the furnishings and picture frames. With floor-to-ceiling windows, stunning glass side lamps with silk shades and an extensive bathroom, the rooms feel airy and luxurious.

Opposite the drawing room and bar nicknamed ‘La Loggia’, is Tosca, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, which has its own street entrance.The curtains unveil a calming atmosphere and neutral tones, along with chandeliers, mirrored walls and plush banquettes. The olive oil comes with a kick, and the cod has subtle citrous flavours creatively presented by chef Paolo Ambrogio. This hotel is a hidden treasure for those in the know; non-corporate, quiet and very romantic. And now you know!

Numerous cultural landmarks and scenic highlights are all within easy reach, making it an ideal base for discovering the city.

Our restaurant, Ristorante Tosca, is open for dinner from Tuesday to Saturday and for lunch from Wednesday to Saturday.
We are fortunate to be surrounded by excellent dining options. We often recommend 114 Faubourg at Le Bristol Paris, as well as La Pagode de Cos at La Réserve Paris, both offering refined cuisine and exceptional settings. For a more relaxed Parisian experience, guests enjoy bistro favorites such as Chez André and Biche.

Which are your most popular room types, and why?
Both the Junior Suites and the Suites are especially popular. Guests value their generous layout, which provides ample space for living, circulation, and luggage. Each room combines comfort and elegance, with classic Parisian décor enhanced by distinctive Italian touches that give the interiors character and soul.

Our family accommodations are particularly appreciated during holiday periods. On each floor, the Élysée Suite can connect with the Saint-Honoré Junior Suite, creating an exceptionally spacious family suite and offering the possibility of privatizing the entire floor. A similar configuration is available on the top floor with the Parisian Suite and a Junior Suite. Our Suites can accommodate up to two extra beds, and our Junior Suites can fit one extra bed.
