Montalembert
Left Bank literary salon meets quiet luxury. Think understated Art Deco heritage, warm amber and orange tones, a fireplace lounge where Sartre types would feel right at home, and a design that favors intimacy over grandeur. Not flashy. Confidently cool.
Book a top-floor Junior Suite or Suite for Eiffel Tower views — the upper-floor mansard rooms have a proper Parisian rooftop feel
Why It Matters
Paris's first five-star boutique hotel, open since 1926. Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2026. Member of Relais & Châteaux. Part of B Signature Hotels & Resorts. Green Key certified. Clefs d'Or concierge team. The hotel claims the distinction of introducing duvets to Parisian hotels.
Paris's 7th arrondissement has no shortage of fine hotels, but the Montalembert occupies its own lane. Opened in 1926 in a Haussmannian building on a quiet side street just off Rue du Bac, it holds the distinction of being the first five-star boutique hotel on the Left Bank. Fifty rooms designed by Pascal Allaman feel like a private Parisian townhouse — custom carpets, aged brass, ebony headboards, silk by Pierre Frey, Hermès details — and the scale means staff know your name by the second morning. The restaurant draws locals and writers alike, the spa (designed by Batiik Studio, in partnership with Calma Paris) is a genuine surprise for a property this size, and 2026 marks its centenary year.
