Explore the New Luxury Hotel Opening in Paris’s Trendiest Neighborhood

As Audrey Hepburn famously said, Paris is always a good idea; therefore, if visiting the City of Light is in your near-future plans, consider staying at the new Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain, which opened on April 1, 2022.

Situated on the Left Bank in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood, frequented by luminaries such as Picasso, Albert Camus, and James Joyce, the property reflects the area’s rich culture and history. In fact, the Irish author finished his much-celebrated novel “Ulysses” while staying in the building, which dates back to the 17th century.

Conceived by interior designer Didier Benderli, the Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain combines contemporary design with historical references. Solid oak herringbone parquet flooring exudes timeless elegance, complemented by brass fittings and art deco-inspired wall detailing. The 47 rooms and suites feature traditional windows that offer idyllic views over the Parisian rooftops and surrounding area.

Moreover, the design-led concept continues in the hotel’s signature restaurant, Les Parisiens, where curved leather and velvet benches, quartzite bistro tables, and oversized mirrors create an incredibly chic dining setting. The kitchen is led by chef Thibault Sombardier, who serves haute cuisine dishes such as Rosé veal chop with morels, primarily prepared with the freshest local and seasonal ingredients. The adjacent James Joyce bar offers a perfect spot for guests to enjoy a daily l’apéro, allowing for fine wine enjoyment on the bar’s street-side terrace while people-watching and soaking in the neighborhood views.

For those seeking relaxation, the Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain’s Spa des Prés provides a tranquil haven addressing wellness needs. Featuring a meditation room, a hammam, a plunge pool, a gym, and massage cabins, it offers an excellent reprieve from the hustle and bustle of Paris.

Excitingly, the property is now open, welcoming guests starting at nightly rates from €350, which is approximately $385.
