La Réserve Paris Hotel & Spa

Behind the crimson doors of 42 Avenue Gabriel, steps from the Champs-Élysées and Grand Palais, lies La Réserve Paris Hotel & Spa—a world of quiet grandeur and whispered luxury. 

With only 40 rooms and suites, this 19th-century Haussmann mansion feels less like a hotel and more like an exquisite private residence. 

Velvet drapes, crackling fireplaces, and soft candlelight evoke the spirit of Belle Époque Paris, wrapped in the flawless discretion of a modern palace.

• Michelin-Starred Dining: Le Gabriel, a two-star restaurant by Chef Jérôme Banctel, celebrating haute French cuisine.
• Private Mansion Ambience: Just 40 rooms—each with antique furnishings, silk wallpaper, and personalized butler service.
• La Réserve Spa: Featuring a pool, hammam, and treatments by Nescens—Swiss anti-aging science.
• Library & Salon: Wood-paneled spaces scented with old books, tea, and jasmine.
• Hidden Garden Courtyard: A serene retreat just beyond the bustle of Paris’s most elegant boulevard.
