A Private Mansion in the Heart of Paris

Located on Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie in the prestigious Golden Triangle, just moments from the Champs-Élysées, this intimate five-star retreat combines historic grandeur with contemporary design.

Rooms & Suites

With just 52 rooms and suites, including a collection of signature accommodations, Hotel de Sers delivers an experience that feels more like staying in an exceptional Parisian apartment than a luxury hotel.

Thoughtfully designed interiors create a peaceful sanctuary where understated sophistication defines every detail.

Dining

The restaurant and bar continue the residential spirit of the hotel with an atmosphere that is both elegant and welcoming. Seasonal Italian-inspired cuisine showcases exceptional ingredients and refined simplicity, while the hotel's secluded leafy patio offers one of the city's most tranquil settings for leisurely breakfasts, relaxed lunches, or intimate evening drinks away from the bustle of Paris.
