Today’s post features a seriously swoonworthy Parisian hotel that I have added to my design-led travel hotspots list. In the words of Audrey Hepburn “Paris is always a good idea” and when a hotel looks this good, who can disagree? Situated in rue Saulnier in the 9th arondissement of Paris is Hôtel Parister, a five star hotel designed by the architecture firm Beckman N’Thépé that boasts 45 rooms and suites. The interiors were designed by Céline Boullenger and exude Parisian glamour with a contemporary twist. So let’s take a look around this wellness hotel in Paris.
The hotel can be found on a quiet street in the Faubourg Montmartre neighborhood, which has become the heart of the Parisian creative community. It is located right behind the Folies Bergères and a few blocks from the Palais Garnier and the major department stores Galeries Lafayettes and Le Printemps on Boulevard Haussman. It is also within easy walking distance from The Gare du Nord, The Montmartre Basilica and The Moulin Rouge.
The hotel is comprised of two buildings, a traditional Haussmann style building and a new build. The communal spaces – lounge areas, restaurant and bar – are arranged in a horseshoe around the interior courtyard. This peaceful space provides an area away from the street noise and is softened with greenery and aromatic plants.
The hotel was the idea of entrepreneur and hotelier Nicolas Nonon who believes that success arises from collaborative work. This belief led him to gather together various partners that have worked together to create a stunning hotel that is full of life and energy. The cocktail bar is run by Le Distrait, a renowned cocktail bar in Paris. The wellness program is created and managed by the Parisian start-up CYD and its team of certified trainers.
It is designed for active people, who enjoy daydreaming and having fun… basically everyone who enjoys life’s true pleasures of body and soul.
Breakfast is served daily in Les Passerelles, the food and cocktail bar, and lunch is served Tuesdays to Saturdays. There doesn’t seem to be the option to have dinner in the hotel although given the location this shouldn’t pose a problem. Room service is served until 1am though and there are a small selection of light meals available.
As I mentioned in the title, Hôtel Parister is a wellness hotel. It benefits from a full wellness area with an 20m pool, spa and fitness zone. Guests can take part in daily yoga classes, Swissball classes, boxing classes, or cross training classes with one of the instructors in residence. You can also go for an early morning running session or book a private bike tour around Paris to see the city from another point of view. There is also an opportunity to relax in the hammam and take advantage of a room dedicated to solo and duo massage. So sounds like there is something for everyone!
The rooms in the hotel ooze Parisian elegance from the ceiling moldings, and the solid walnut closets, to the romance of designer wallpaper, and the brass ornaments. The rooms benefit from large windows with some rooms offering a view over the Parisian rooftops as well as exclusive access to the vast terraces.
In total there are 28 superior rooms, five deluxe rooms, three deluxe rooms with terrace, five junior suites and one suite. Of the 45 rooms, two offer disabled access. Most rooms offer luxurious rain showers, smart TVs, complimentary smartphones with 24h connectivity and Nespresso machines as standard.

Wow this place os gorgeous – so swish! It looks so relaxing… Having that waiting for you after a long day on your feet in the city would be incredible. Definitely added to my little black book! x
Definitely looks like a great place to retreat to!
Wow what a hotel! It’s a little minimalist for me to be honest BUT I love the textures and colours and some amazing design ideas in there. Thanks for sharing! Also I agree Paris is always a good idea EXCEPT for the Parisians (who aren’t always the friendliest)!
People always say that lol! I think if you make the effort to speak French they tend to be ok, but if you don’t they may well snub you!
Wow thar hotel looks amazing. I absolutely adore the decor. This is certainly somewhere I’d look to stay. Thanks for sharing x
The decor is just perfect!
Oh dear, it looks very posh. I wonder If there is George Clooney serving that Nespresso 😉 That would definitely make me go instantly 😁
That made me laugh. It does look very posh!
Love the look of this place! And that green velvet- love!
I think it was the green velvet and all the brass that originally caught me eye.
Beautiful! Gorgeous interiors here. I love that ombre wall!
Me too, such a statement!
So I have two more trips to Paris this year. I wonder if I can go and visit this… or heavens…. stay! You’re right Paris is always a good idea and look at all those design touches. swoon.
Oh Mary, would be amazing to stay here. I’d be so jealous if you do lol!
Oh what a find! Definitely on the wish list now x
Top of my wish list too. Whether I can afford it is another matter entirely lol!
Oh, this sounds divine. Stylish and focussed on wellbeing – the perfect destination!
I’d love to check in here for some ‘Me Time’!
stunning hotel and I just got an idea as well for future renovations in relation to having a small desk in the bedroom. Also really liked their small square tile bathrooms! A great place from where to visit Paris!
I’m not sure I’d get a chance to see Paris as I wouldn’t want to leave the hotel lol!
Oh my goodness, I’ve never been to Paris but now I know where to stay if I do!! This looks divine X
You will love Paris I’m sure. I lived there for a year and it was one of the best years of my life!
Those rooms are beautiful and it would be so relaxing to stay there.
