“A luxurious stay, just off the Champs-Élysées in Paris’ 8th Arrondissement. Interiors craft a timeless, minimalist feel with natural wood, velvet, and stone. With a Michelin-starred restaurant, a chic bar, balconies overlooking the Eiffel Tower and the incredible Ikoi Spa”

Hotel review

Hôtel Balzac, just moments from the Champs-Élysées, offers an intimate yet grand escape. Guests who are lucky enought to get the Eiffel Tower Suite are granted a true Parisian dream. Luxurious furnishings, and natural stone accents create a refined, calming atmosphere, while the spacious leafy terrace provides unparalleled views of the famous tower. The hotel’s ambiance is tranquil, with a quiet luxury that permeates the glass-domed lobby and its intimacy inspring bar complete with glowing sunken hideaway. The Ikoi Spa is a sanctuary, and the Kobido facial will leave one feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Dining at Pierre Gagnaire’s 3-Michelin star restaurant is an experieince in itself, especially the exquisite langoustine five ways.

Rooms mix Designer’s Guild fabrics, Capellini furniture, neo-classical lighting, original Parisian lithographs by D’Kozone to ultra-stylish effect. Many have mesmerising views of the Eiffel Tower, illuminated at night. Impressively high-brow and helpful concierge.
