A simply exceptional residence.
Saint James Paris
Hotel and restaurant in town (Paris) The only château-hôtel in Paris nestles in a lush green setting, a mere stone's throw from the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Victor Hugo: a splendid Napoleon III residence, refurbished with a touch of fantasy by Bambi Sloan, and home to the very select Saint James Club. What was formerly the Thiers Foundation, which once received the most brilliant students in France, has now become a select venue where you can recharge your batteries, right in the heart of the hustle and bustle of Paris. The library bar, with its thousands of volumes, provides a private and welcoming setting, just the place to exchange confidences. The Gemology spa offers treatments based on gems, in the muted atmosphere of its boudoir-style treatment booths. You may dine on fine cuisine in the beautiful dining room inherited from the Foundation. In the summer, what better place than the magnificent terrace. Here the hot air balloon décor evokes the past of this particular spot: it had been the first aerodrome in Paris!
