San Regis

The dream for any city-center luxury hotel is a location that’s at once surrounded by attractions and yet comfortably sequestered; here, on a side street in the 8th arrondissement’s famed Golden Triangle, the Hôtel San Régis manages to have it all. Nor does it suffer in the style department, with interiors by Pierre-Yves Rochon, whose work is practically synonymous with Parisian luxury hospitality.

What sets the San Régis apart from many of its peers, however, is its very slight edge of eccentricity — it feels in some ways more like a 42-room house than like a planned and designed luxury hotel. Every room is different, and all throughout are the gradually deposited traces of a history that goes back more than a hundred years.

In this corner of town you’re by no means hard up for something to eat, but the San Régis, perhaps unusually for a hotel of its size, offers a restaurant of its own, the versatile and elegant Les Confidences, serving hotel guests and Parisian diners in a verdant winter-garden setting.
