Upon entering the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, guests are greeted by mannequins adorned in exquisite Parisian haute couture, setting the tone for the luxury hotel’s prime location in the renowned fashion district of the city.
Courtesy of the French Federation of Bespoke Tailors, these mannequins, some elegantly displayed on gold-colored pedestals, adorn the marble lobby, complemented by a vibrant display of flowers and plants.
The expansive lobby exudes elegance, boasting a glass ceiling, a grand chandelier, and comfortable, airy sofas adorned with colorful cushions. At one end of the lobby, a cozy wood-paneled library offers a serene ambiance with soft lighting, a magnificent fireplace, and a selection of books covering topics from the life of Coco Chanel to the history of Vogue and the evolution of fashion photography.
Adjacent to the library is the Blossom Restaurant, which leads out to a charming patio garden featuring potted palm trees and a fountain, where guests can enjoy dining for both dinner and breakfast. The hotel also houses a small gym in the basement with separate male and female hammams.
The suite, room 334, offers three elegantly carpeted rooms, with a curtain and glass-fronted door separating the bedroom and bathroom. The bedding is from MyBed, and the décor by Pierre-Yves Rochon, designed by interior architect Didier Gomez.
The room features a contemporary design with ash-colored accents, Corinthian-style columns, and linen-draped windows providing ample natural light and views of the glass-topped dome in the foyer. Amenities include two televisions, an espresso machine, a coffee table, and a spacious sofa. The bathroom includes both a bathtub and shower, stocked with Atelier Cologne toiletries.
A must-visit during the stay is the ground-floor ‘Le Bar du Faubourg,’ featuring a chic black and white décor with mirrored tables, cozy couches, a fireplace, studded leather armchairs, and fashion photographs adorning the walls. The skilled bartenders offer signature cocktails, with a mixologist creating unique combinations inspired by childhood memories.
For dining, guests can indulge in tapas-style dishes such as smoked Scottish salmon with blinis, Caesar salad, falafels with organic vegetables, and Charolais beef tartare.
In addition to luxurious accommodations and dining options, the hotel features two flexible meeting rooms designed to accommodate up to 50 people, adorned with honey-colored wood, beige-gray leather seating, contemporary chandeliers, and artworks by British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor.
Situated on a tranquil side street between Concorde and Faubourg St-Honoré, this 5-star, 147-room luxury hotel offers proximity to premier shopping destinations like Hermes, Cartier, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, and Bottega Veneta. Guests can also explore nearby cultural attractions such as the Tuileries gardens, Musée de l’Orangerie, and the Louvre museum.
