The La Réserve Paris Hotel and Spa overlooks some of the city’s best sights: the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon, the Grand Palais and the Concorde obelisk.
Right in front of the hotel, a majestic curtain of trees preserves the area’s intimacy.
Rooms: Forty, including Twenty Six Suites
Location: Paris, France
Any Parisian hotel restaurant has to work pretty hard to keep you from the city’s bistros. La Réserve Paris has two not-so-secret weapons on its side, both courtesy of acclaimed chef Jérôme Banctel: the double-Michelin-starred Le Gabriel and spice-loving La Pagode de Cos.
Opt for Le Gabriel’s tasting menu for a thorough introduction to whiz-bang seasonal French cuisine; dishes that have previously knocked diners’ metaphorical socks off include line-caught mackerel cooked over cedar and served with caviar, blue lobster with sweet-onion carbonara and coffee, and suckling pig with mango, curry sauce and avocado.
Take your tastebuds on a tour of the spice route at La Pagode de Cos (don’t miss the steamed scallops served with lemongrass soup).
Room service
Napoléon never went hungry; nor shall you at La Réserve Paris, thanks to the hotel’s room service: order breakfast to your room between 7am and 11pm; nibble delicacies between 11am and 10.30pm; pick nocturnal treats from a night menu, on offer between 10.
Sip fine wines, champagne or creative cocktails (a cucumber fizz or gin and rice libation, perhaps) at Le Bar, a vampy space designed for liaisons dangereuses or otherwise.
If you get peckish, order petites bouchées (light bites); truffled croque-monsieur or miso-salmon sashimi, perhaps… The hotel also has one of the most impressive honesty bars we’ve laid our eyes on – the mirrored room has pedestals topped with decanters of fine liqueurs, fridges filled with soft drinks, and bottles of fine wines.
Owner Michel Reybier has acquired several vineyards in prominent wine regions; however, the Cos d’Estournel red from his Bordeaux plot, is said to be the stand-out sipper.
The Spa at La Réserve Paris is an oasis of serenity and relaxation. The spa features a 16m indoor pool, hammam, fitness area and three treatment rooms ensuring a haven of privacy.
Our team of well-being and beauty specialists offer exclusive, personalized treatments which are designed to ensure maximum relaxation, eliminate your stress, and offer that long lasting glow.
If you are looking to keep fit while away, then there are several options for you: physical training, yoga and Pilates classes, and personalized sports training indoors and outdoors.
