Hotels Own Introduction
Hôtel Balzac: A Parisian Tale Reimagined
Steps from the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Balzac is a quiet sanctuary reborn—a historic address newly envisioned by Festen Architecture. This intimate retreat invites you to write your own story in the heart of Paris, where elegance lingers and romance is always in the air.
1930s Elegance, Modern Serenity
Each of our 58 rooms and suites channels the subtle luxury of the 1930s, blending soft tones, rich textures, and sculptural lighting. Some offer Eiffel Tower views; others open onto sweeping terraces atop the city skyline. All serve as a cocoon—a pause from the pulse of Paris, crafted for rest and renewal.
A Lounge Under Glass
Beneath a stunning glass roof, the hotel’s lounge welcomes locals and travelers alike. Whether pausing from a day’s shopping, meeting discreetly, or gathering over lunch, this luminous space is a social haven in the city. By night, the tucked-away Hotel Balzac bar transforms into a stage for intimate Parisian encounters—from quiet rendezvous to late-night stories waiting to be told.
The Art of Wellness: Ikoi Spa
Drawing from traditional Japanese healing practices, the Ikoi Spa offers a holistic wellness journey with tailored treatments and massages on tatami mats or treatment tables. A tranquil pool, serene sauna, and advanced fitness suite complete this sanctuary of rejuvenation.
