Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opera, Paris, France

Set between Opéra Garnier and Place Vendôme, the Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra stands as a bridge between centuries — from the elegance of the Second Empire to the pulse of modern Paris. 

Once home to the Jockey Club de Paris and a gathering place for writers, artists, and intellectuals, this 201-room landmark blends historical grandeur with contemporary design. 

Inside, soft light, curated art, and a palette of cream, gold, and charcoal create an atmosphere both sophisticated and alive.
