A deeply romantic hideaway on the magical Place des Vosges in Le Marais, the oldest quartier in Paris, right in the heart of Paris. Privately owned and family-run, with all the service, charm and elegance of a grand palace – with all the understated sophistication of a private home. The only five star hotel on Place des Vosges – often referred to as the most beautiful square in the world. The interiors are a brilliant combination of antiques and sleek contemporary comfort – cosy but stylish; sophisticated and comfortable, with a wonderful sense of place. All guests have access to the new Spa de la Reine by Codage, with gymnasium, jacuzzi and hammam. There are two peaceful treatment rooms and a dedicated menu of new treatments especially for Pavillon de la Reine. The hotel dates back to the 17th century, covered in greenery, set back and hidden away from the galleries and cafés of the Place des Vosges by a private courtyard garden. Pass through the secluded courtyard into the foyer, which feels like a private library, with intimate seating, stunning furniture and flowers everywhere. Relax by the large stone fireplace in a comfortable chair, choose a drink from the honesty bar and admire the original oil paintings and antique furniture. Enjoy a perfect breakfast in the lounge, then venture forth to explore the surrounding area.
