Hôtel Balzac Paris

The Timeless Elegance of a New Classic

Nestled just steps from the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Balzac embodies the perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Following a meticulous renovation by the renowned design duo Festen Architecture, this discreet haven has been reborn, seamlessly marrying its Parisian roots with a contemporary vision. Neutral tones, minimalist lines, and refined material effects define this new classic, offering guests an elegant and romantic escape in the heart of Paris.

A Home Away from Home

From the cozy, glass-roofed lounge to the intimate rooms and rejuvenating spa, a subdued and welcoming atmosphere is the hallmark of Hôtel Balzac. Designed like a home where comfort comes naturally, the hotel’s décor exudes timeless elegance. Every space is thoughtfully curated, featuring the warmth of wood in burl, solid oak, and lacquered finishes, alongside intricate trimmings, selected art objects, and luxurious materials like velvet, moiré fabric, natural stone, and marble mosaics.

A Nod to the 1930s and 1940s

Festen’s custom-designed furniture for Hôtel Balzac captures the understated sophistication of the 1930s and 1940s, reinterpreted through a lens of modern creativity. Each piece contributes to a sense of serenity, offering a world unto itself, far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Peace and Privacy in the Heart of Paris

Hôtel Balzac’s 58 rooms and suites provide a sanctuary of peace and privacy, allowing guests to relish the delights of Paris. Some rooms offer stunning views of the Eiffel Tower, all while being perfectly insulated from the city’s lively energy. Whether you are a visitor seeking a tranquil retreat or a romantic escape, the hotel’s atmosphere is designed to make every stay memorable.

Lounge & Bar: Two Exclusive Spaces

Adjacent to the lobby, the glass-roofed lounge serves as a versatile living space—ideal for relaxation, casual meetings, or enjoying a gourmet break. A bit further, the Bar reveals a mysterious ambiance, with its dimmed lights and hushed tones, reminiscent of a chic Parisian speakeasy. This is a place where locals and travelers from around the world come together, whether for a business meeting, a quiet drink, or a romantic tête-à-tête. The menu boasts creative cocktails named with a Balzacian twist, alongside high-quality wines and spirits, perfectly complemented by Petrossian caviar or a lobster roll with Espelette pepper and ginger.

Spa & Wellness: Holistic Well-Being

The Ikoi Spa at Hôtel Balzac offers a sanctuary inspired by Japanese traditions, featuring three cabins dedicated to ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation. The name “Ikoi,” meaning “a place where one feels good,” perfectly captures the essence of this spa experience. The treatment menu includes luxurious rituals designed to revitalize both face and body, with poetic names and authentic techniques that promise true well-being.
