A few experiences to enjoy from the hotel
The hotel as your starting point: a selection of experiences to book through our team to enjoy as they are, or to compose together, as you wish.
You’ve passed it a thousand times in photographs; now it’s time to meet it face to face. With skip-the-line tickets in hand, you ascend to the second floor, where a sweeping panorama unfolds over the intricate lacework of Paris rooftops. An English-speaking guide accompanies you, weaving in the stories that bring the monument to life. One hour is all it takes; Paris does the rest.
As the sun slips behind the bridges and the façades begin to glow, step aboard the Diamant Bleu for a two-and-a-half-hour cruise: seasonal cuisine, a soft voice-and-guitar duo, and the monuments drifting by with the current. A dinner unlike any other.
Choose your panoramic boat, take your seat, and let the Seine do the rest: the Eiffel Tower across the quay, Notre-Dame at the bow, the Conciergerie in the background. Two hours, a seasonal menu, and Paris seen from an entirely new angle.
On the first floor of the Iron Lady, chef Thierry Marx has installed his brasserie. Shareable, sustainable, locally sourced cuisine in a light-filled setting with a resolutely contemporary spirit. Come for lunch or dinner with family, friends, or someone dear. Simply iconic.
From the upper deck of an open-top bus, Paris unfolds at balcony height: the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Champs-Élysées, the Eiffel Tower, the Opéra Garnier… Ten landmark stops, an audio guide in eight languages, and the freedom to step off wherever the mood takes you, before boarding the next bus.
On Île de la Cité, two monuments worth pairing in a single day. Sainte-Chapelle, for walls of stained glass that turn light into a symphony. The Conciergerie, for Gothic halls where history was written, and the cell where Marie-Antoinette spent her final days. A five-minute walk between the two; ten centuries of history in one crossing.
The golden dome glimpsed from the neighborhood makes complete sense up close. Founded by Louis XIV for wounded soldiers, Les Invalides now houses one of the five most-visited museums in France, along with Napoleon’s tomb. A twenty-minute walk from the hotel; ideal before or after the Eiffel Tower.
A half-hour walk from the hotel, or a single metro stop, the Hôtel Biron is home to The Thinker, The Kiss, and everything the artist bequeathed to France at the turn of the last century. The visit spills into the garden, where some of the sculptures wait in the open air. Admission is free under 18, and under 26 for EU residents.
Fifteen minutes from the hotel by public transit, in the Trocadéro gardens, thirteen thousand fish, thirty-eight large sharks, two thousand five hundred jellyfish, and seven hundred coral colonies invite you on a mesmerizing journey beneath the sea. The ideal refuge on days when Paris decides to rain, and a favorite with the youngest travelers.
For sixty-five years, this legendary cabaret has sculpted Paris with silhouettes, light, and a sense of tempo that never goes out of style. Ninety minutes of show between the Champs-Élysées and the Eiffel Tower… and a Paris that only truly tells its story at night.
