La Reserve Paris Hotel & Spa

Paris boasts some of the finest city hotels in the world and the intimate & popular La Réserve is no exception. With just 14 rooms and 26 suites, Jérôme Banctel’s two Michelin starred restaurant Le Gabriel, swimming pool, spa, and butler service, La Réserve is the ultimate Parisian boutique hotel. Once home to fashion designer Pierre Cardin, this historic boutique hotel was originally built as a Paris home for the Duc de Morny - Napoléon III’s half-brother - in 1854. Now, La Réserve Paris Hotel & Spa is a quietly fashionable Haussmanian hotel, found down a leafy boulevard, lined with century-old trees and part of Michel Reybier’s bijoux hotel group that has gained an impressive quality word-of mouth reputation in recent years.

The hotel’s serene cream frontage features wrought iron lattice balcony terraces populated with occasional café-style table and chairs where guests take coffee overlooking the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and facing the Grand Palace. The red and black entrance hints at the hotel’s lavish interior and once inside, the atmosphere exudes the exclusivity, calm, and class of a private French mansion. Open the door to one of the guestrooms – et voilá – your own heavenly Parisian pied-à-terre awaits.
