The Best Spa Hotels to Book in Paris, France

A small but perfectly formed boutique hotel in the 9th arrondissement theatre district, the cosy rooms are tastefully decorated in bold, contemporary colours, but it’s the mosaic-tiled basement spa that’s the main attraction. The pool and adjoining hammam can be reserved for a complimentary 45-minute session as soon as you’ve made your room reservation. Deserve a bit of extra pampering? Ask reception to book a therapist from Spa Olivier Lecocq for an in-room massage or facial.

During the 19th century, L’Hotel was home to Oscar Wilde and also served as a private residence for Queen Margot. The 20 bedrooms here still boast lavish decor, plush curtains and antique furniture.

Located in the epicentre of Paris, this five-star boutique hotel blends traditional architecture with a modern twist. The combination of wood panelling, art deco mirrors, cubist art and a cool colour scheme creates a creative, slightly eccentric vibe.

This hidden gem is just a few steps from the Champs-Elysées and the designer shopping district.

Named after the beautiful Italian pink marble that clads the floors, it features a sauna, hammam and hot tub.

A favourite with celebrities, Le Royal Monceau Raffles Paris has been a discreet hideaway since it opened in 1928. After an extensive Philippe Starck makeover in the mid-2000s, it’s a shrine to art deco stylings mixed with contemporary fittings. The spa is home to the city’s biggest indoor hotel pool, and has energising heat and thermal areas. However, if you want to treat yourself to a facial, the specially-trained therapists will whip you up a personal blend, using custom-mixed products to suit.

Located between Montparnasse and St-Germain-des-Prés, Hotel & Spa La Belle Juliette excels in providing exquisite beauty treatments, with two rooms dedicated to facials, scrubs and manicures.
