Ideally situated between the Champs Elysées, Opéra Garnier and Madeleine, the Hyatt Paris Madeleine (on the prestigious rue Malesherbes) shines with elegant sobriety, rather than dazzling luxury. The simple lobby is all light tones, clean lines, wood and design furniture. The 85 rooms and suites – with an incredible view onto the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe or the Église Saint-Augustin – give off the impression that everything is refined, but not over-the-top.
The restaurant two hotels, organised by chef Simon Havage, will blow your mind. Expect refined French gastronomy with a view of boulevard Malesherbes at Café M and a friendly vibe and gourmet cuisine under a sublime glass roof at La Chinoiserie. There’s also the chance to don an apron and take part in a legendary pâtisserie workshop. At the end of the day, enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea or afterwork drinks near the fireplace before diving into the Spa Deep Nature for a sauna, hammam, massage and organic products.
And even better – the Hyatt Paris Madeleine, makes the effort to be eco-friendly too. Guests are invited to reduce their bath and bedding usage and they can head to the seventh floor to see the honey-producing bee hive. So it’s no rumour – luxury and environmentalism can go together.
