As if a countryside breeze is blowing through this 4-star hotel in the 11th arrondissement. Located at the end of a quiet alley in the Saint-Ambroise neighborhood, the establishment is built around a central green courtyard, easily making us forget that we are in the heart of the capital. All rooms overlook this oasis of greenery, from which a nearly religious calm emanates. Even more appreciated when considering the noise pollution of the City of Lights.
From its past as a 19th-century furniture factory, the hotel has kept magnificent glass windows in the rooms. The decoration blends a clever mix of elegance and industriel that we loved.
You can extend the pleasure by indulging in a relaxing massage or an eco-friendly workout session! All that's left is to choose your side according to your mood at the moment...
Here is a beautiful address for a little relaxation break in the capital city...

In short, the Hôtel des Grands Boulevards is a true place of life, open to all Parisians. If you have the urge to spend the night, chooseExperience the Parisian Eaves room on a rainy day; it is romantic and attic-like, perfect for snuggling and cooing. But before that, take advantage of the evening to taste the creations of The Shed, a must-visit to discover the lovely cocktail menu accompanied by grilled octopus as a snack. Then, indulge in a delicious Mediterranean-inspired dinner by Giovanni Passerini (chef of the best Italian cuisine in the world) using ingredients from the garden. It's a delight! Burrata with flavorful garden tomatoes and nasturtiums, delicious veal with carrots and kale, or a generous serving of pasta with zucchini and spring onions—the menu evolves with the seasons and inspirations.

Le Kube
Hidden in a dead-end street in the heart of the 18th arrondissement, we first wonder what awaits us in this neighborhood where cultures from around the world harmoniously intertwine. But the surprise is even crazier when we step into this cobbled courtyard with large wooden tables that transports us into a haven of peace. With this bright cube installed in the middle of the courtyard as a reception, we discover with enchantment the charm of this place. Once we cross the large door, we are immersed in an apocalyptic atmosphere, in a dark and vegetal setting, and we love the crumpled menu presented in a bread basket. And the more adventurous ones will not be left out with the Ice Kube, a bar at -20°C on the restaurant's upper floor. Bundle up and have fun.
