This luxury boutique hotel, open since 2015, offers a discreet stay near the Elysée gardens. The dramatic Jacques Garcia–designed interiors are inspired by the Napoleon III apartments at the Louvre, but the scale of the hotel is intimate with areas reserved just for guests, including a library, smoking room, and indoor swimming pool. The Michelin two-star Gabriel restaurant offers a lighter take on French cuisine and the focus on health continues with a Swiss anti-aging spa, a state of the art gym, and the possibility to organize personalized running routes with a trainer that might include circuit training in the shadow of the Louvre.
