Botaniste
French country house meets urban botanist's retreat. Warm, personal, family-friendly without being generic. Think floral wallpaper and honesty bars rather than marble lobbies and room service.

Why It Matters
One of the few genuinely quiet boutique hotels in Paris with a real private garden. Listed on both Tablet Hotels and the Michelin Guide. The two-building layout gives it an unusually house-like feel, and the sourcing ethos — bread from Landemaine, jams from Alpine producers, yoghurts from a Parisian creamery — sets breakfast apart from the usual hotel buffet.
A 4-star boutique hotel split across two country house-style buildings — Maison Molitor and Maison Boileau — connected by a private garden in the residential Auteuil quarter of Paris's 16th arrondissement. The rooms lean hard into a botanical theme: floral wallpapers, pressed herbarium art on the walls, linen and velvet fabrics in soft earthy tones. It's a deliberate antidote to the crowded, noisy hotel corridors of central Paris. The Chardon-Lagache metro is a block away, Roland Garros is a short walk, and the Bois de Boulogne is right on the doorstep.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Confort Aubépine Room
A solid step up in size from the entry-level rooms, with a private balcony overlooking the garden. Located in Maison Boileau. Good for guests who want outdoor space without going all the way to a Privilege room.
17 sqm
Découverte Mélisse Room
The entry-level room, located in the quieter Maison Boileau building away from the main hotel activity. Small but thoughtfully decorated with the hotel's signature botanical touches. Two rooms are fully accessible for guests with reduced mobility.
14 sqm
Familiale Marjolaine Room
Two adjoining bedrooms that can be used as a single family unit sleeping up to 4 guests, or kept separate for privacy. A practical option for families or travelling friends. Same botanical decor aesthetic throughout.
La Grande Hibiscus
The hotel's largest and best room, on the top floor of Maison Molitor. Balcony included. If you're splashing out, this is the one to book — top floor means the best views and maximum light.
Privilege Passiflore Room
The standard top-tier room category, in Maison Molitor. Spacious by Paris boutique standards, each one individually decorated. Private balcony is the real selling point. Shower or bathtub available. Some rooms reportedly offer an Eiffel Tower glimpse from the terrace.
20 sqmSuperior Jasmin Room
Located in the main Maison Molitor building. Decorated in the hotel's botanical style with floral and natural wall details. Available with either shower or bathtub. Sizes are on the compact side — typical for Paris.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel organises surprise activities for children including costume dressing-up, creative workshops, and herbarium creation — in keeping with the botanical theme. Available on request.
The front desk team helps with restaurant reservations, taxi bookings, skip-the-line museum entry, and excursion organisation. They're known for genuine local recommendations — the kind Parisians actually talk about — rather than tourist-trap suggestions.
A set of Mölkky (Finnish outdoor skittles) is available in the garden for guests to play. A small but genuinely fun touch that fits the hotel's relaxed, family-friendly ethos.
A private garden connects the hotel's two buildings — Maison Molitor and Maison Boileau. Guests can relax on the terrace, eat breakfast outside, or simply enjoy a rare pocket of greenery in Paris. The garden features magnolia, wisteria, aromatic plants, and a vegetable patch.
