Two minutes from the most beautiful avenue in the world, at the corner of two quiet streets in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, the Hotel Balzac Paris is located in an elegant building from the beginning of the last century. Previously on this location was a 19th-century property which once belonged to the famous French writer Honoré de Balzac. In order to reinvent the Balzac with Parisian elegance, Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay from the Festen architectural studio, have deployed noble materials and created an intimate atmosphere. “Le Balzac perpetuates a timeless Parisian heritage through its classicism. It’s a place full of atmosphere, with a history that we have respected and extended. You have to experience this place to understand it,” say the architects. 1930s-inspired décor adorns the communal lounge, lit by a large glass roof, as well as the rooms and suites, some of which offer views of the Eiffel Tower. After exploring the city, a Japanese spa provides a calming break, offering a hammam or a traditional massage.
