32°C, a 7.0 UV Index reading… What could be better than a splash in one of Paris’s most beautiful pools? And if the weather isn’t cooperating, just head to the spa instead!

Château Voltaire

The longtime dream of Thierry Gillier – founder of the clothing brand Zadig & Voltaire – the sublime Château Voltaire has finally shown its golden teeth to the world! A waking dream just a stone’s throw from the Opéra Garnier, housed inside three 17th- and 18th-century buildings, it was all brought to life by artistic director Franck Durand. Read more.

55, rue Saint-Roch, Paris 1

Hôtel Hana

The Adresses Hotels group (Monsieur Aristide, Maison Saintonge, Hôtel des Académies et des Arts, La Ponche) has been on a real rollercoaster ride as of late, and the latest loop in their attraction is Hôtel Hana: a very chic spot with a flowery Japanese name, which sprouted a stone’s throw from the Paris Opera house. Read more.

17, rue du Quatre Septembre, Paris 2

Hôtel Sinner

With its black façade flanked by an enigmatic neon red, you’d almost think you were at the entrance to a club on the Lower East Side or a modern brothel in the red-light district. And yet Evok group, who already own the spectacular Brach, opened up Sinner in the heart of the Marais neighborhood. Read more.

116, rue du Temple, Paris 3

Les Bains

One of the pillars of the Parisian club scene, which saw all of the rock stars, artists and models of the ‘80s and ‘90s walk through its doors, Les Bains has been reborn from its ashes. Recently an artist residency, it has been revived by the producer of Babel, Jean-Pierre Marois, and returned to its former extravagance, transformed into an urban club with a restaurant, bar, patio, lounge and… luxury hotel rooms! Read more.

7, rue du Bourg l’Abbé, Paris 3

Le Grand Mazarin

For its first pied-à-terre in Paris, the Maisons Pariente hotel group (Crillon Le Brave in Provence, Le Coucou in Méribel, Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez) didn’t choose just any neighborhood: it chose the Marais, where a 14th-century mansion now houses Le Grand Mazarin. Read more.

17, rue de la Verrerie, Paris 4

Hôtel Monte Cristo

After the COQ hotel, Hôteliers Impertinents opened the Hôtel Monte Cristo, right near rue Mouffetard and the Manufacture des Gobelins. It’s an homage to the fabulous and well-traveled personality of Alexandre Dumas, with orientalist décor designed by Pauline D’Hoop and Delphine Sauvaget, inspired by nineteenth-century boudoirs. Read More.

20-22, rue Pascal, Paris 5

Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs

The EQ Group is back for a second time in the Paris of yesteryear with Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs, another Left Bank gem. After the Hôtel Dame des Arts, the London firm took over the former Holiday Inn at Saint-Placide (not exactly a stroll through the park in terms of renovation!) and let Fabrizio Casiraghi transform it according to his whims. Read more.

92, rue de Vaugirard, Paris 6

Hôtel du Rond-Point des Champs Elysées

This hotel from the 1920s, with its beautiful art deco awning and guardrail, has just been given a head-to-toe makeover in the baroque-bohemian style by Dimore Studio for Esprit de France group. Read more.

10, rue Ponthieu, Paris 8

Hôtel Ballu

On the outskirts of the Nouvelles Athènes neighborhood, in the 9th arrondissement – a hotspot for the artsy Parisian elite from the nineteenth – you’ll now find the Hôtel Le Ballu, which was opened in the old (and very handsome) Sacem building. Read more.

30, rue Ballu, Paris 9

Maison Souquet

A former house of pleasures, located in a neighborhood of easy virtue. A discreet entrance reserved for insiders, an ambiance that’s as questionable as it is sumptuous, worthy of Bonello’s L’Appolonide. Read more.

10, rue de Bruxelles, Paris 9

Hôtel Les Deux Gares

Adrien Gloaguen, the head of the Touriste group (the Panache, Beaurepaire and Bienvenue hotels in Paris, Chrysos in London), teamed up with the lawyer Antoine Raccat, a childhood friend, to open Les Deux Gares. The locale in question? A bourgeois building tucked away between the Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est train stations. Read more.

2, rue des Deux Gares, Paris 10

Maison Bréguet

It took three years of renovations to transform this former dry cleaner’s shop in the Bastille neighborhood into a 5-star hotel! Entrusted to Juan Alvarez of Sagrada, David d’Almada’s London-based architecture firm, the bedroom décor is custom made and done up with chic colors. Read more.

8, rue Bréguet, Paris 11

Brach Paris

The pitch? A 7000 m2 former post office sorting facility that’s been converted into a hotel by Philippe Starck for the French group Evok. At Brach, far from his normal organic style, the French designer put together a warm space, bringing together daily objects, artwork and luxurious materials – tobacco leather, marble, rosewood. Read more.

1-7, rue Jean Richepin, Paris 16

Hôtel Molitor Paris

This place witnessed the first bikinis, Johnny Weissmuller’s olympic dives… For sixty years, Molitor was Paris’s most legendary pool. Closed in 1989 and then abandoned, it has since become a favorite canvas amongst street artists. After three years of renovation, the Molitor pool is back in action. Read more.

13, rue Nungesser et Coli, Paris 16
