Mid-way between Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Avenue Montaigne, a stone's throw from the Champs-Elysées, where the heart of Paris beats.
Nestled in a peaceful location, slightly set back from the world's most beautiful avenue, La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa overlooks the Grand Palais, the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon and the Concorde obelisk. Just in front, a majestic curtain of trees preserves the intimacy of this place, like an echo of the Elysée gardens nearby.
Michel Reybier's highly distinctive urban mansion has all the elegance of a 19th century private apartment, where ultra-personalized services can be enjoyed in complete simplicity and discretion.
All around are immense spaces bathed in light, barely muted by the rich fabrics of the hangings. Scattered here and there are beautiful marble fireplaces, and everywhere the joy of vast indoor spaces, typical of Haussmann-style apartments.
The noble and generous materials exude a forgotten spirit of generosity. More suites than rooms, a library reserved for guests and their friends, a smoking lounge, a 16-meter indoor pool (a rarity in Paris), wine cellars in the suites, an inner courtyard with lush greenery echoing the landscaped entrance.
At La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa, you experience the quintessence of Parisian chic in the Belle Époque.
The 26 suites and 14 rooms at La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa offer a refined reflection of the quintessence of 19th century Parisian chic. Silk hung walls, damascene brocade taffeta, velvet drapes, waffle weave fabrics, herringbone oak parquet, unique pieces of antique furniture...
Rooms are spacious and the atmosphere can be adapted at will thanks to an interactive tablet that controls the TV, the temperature and the lighting. The bathrooms in Carrara and Turquin blue marble are equally spacious and mostly bathed in natural light.
A SUITE IN A PRIVATE HOME
More than just a suite: an authentic Parisian apartment all to oneself. Interpreted in a palette of four gentle shades, all the suites at La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa are different.
They are unique, both on principle and for the sheer pleasure of discovering in each instance a distinctive place imbued with original charm. Spread out between the first and fifth floors, their generous floor plans range from 50 to over 200 sq.m., and some feature communicating doors.
A DEDICATED BUTLER FOR THE ROOMS AND SUITES
Each room and each suite has its dedicated butler, a magician who handles every detail of daily life.
A virtuoso in the art of anticipating each guest’s desires, always close by and available at a touch of the special button on the in-suite iPad, he ensures perfect homelike comfort in a supremely discreet way: packing or repacking, running a bath or rustling up a meal as the fancy may take you, 24/7…
Like the emblematic monument after which it is named, the Grand Palais suite embodies the art of living on a grand scale that is so very rare in Paris.
As soon as guests cross the threshold, they immediately find themselves in an extremely beautiful Parisian apartment from the Belle Epoque: an age when there was no stinting on square meters nor on volumes, which are truly extraordinary here. In 1900, the Grand Palais had been built to magnify “French art” at the World’s Fair.
Today, this suite also pays tribute to a proud French heritage, with its authentic Napoleon III furniture, its antiques lovingly collected over the years, as well as its historical or contemporary works bridging the centuries.
Playing the role of guest star, the Eiffel Tower may be admired from the balcony, as can the majestic glass roof of the Grand Palais. As soon as night falls, the magnificently illuminated monument puts on a show of which one never tires.
On the fifth and top floor, Paris becomes simply magical from the many windows and balconies of this exceptional suite, offering plunging views over the Nave of the Grand Palais, the gilded sculptures of the Alexandre III bridge and the soaring silhouette of the Eiffel Tower.
The huge lounges set the “tone” for this exceptional place. The herringbone-patterned wooden flooring echoes the ornate moldings on the ceiling, itself decked out in bespoke wallpapering in the grand tradition of the French decorative arts.
Each trinket, each antique, each piece of period furniture exalts this magnificent historical heritage. To enable guests to savor the French art of living as true aesthetes, the suite has two private bars stocked with exceptional vintages…
A unique experience that more than ever justifies the title of the famous song “Paris, c’est magnifique”.
Even though the Marigny theatre is very close by, the real show is here: each suite is an amazing stage where Parisian life is played out in a perpetually elegant manner. The opulent velvet clothing the interiors may be interpreted as a nod to the classic decor of the capital’s great cultural venues.
From the upper floors, referred to in theatre jargon as “paradise”, you enjoy a perfect vantage point from which to appreciate the repertoire of the finest Parisian landmarks: the Eiffel Tower, the Grand Palais glass roof, the spires of Notre-Dame in the distance… A legendary view to be admired from every angle afforded by the various windows and balconies dotted along the façade.
The floor below houses a library filled with leather-bound tomes and a Louis XV desk, inherited from centuries of refinement and culture. Paris playing its finest role and its greatest performance.

The splendid decor is pervaded with the spirit of the Emperor Napoleon, first and foremost thanks to the period furniture celebrating the Empire style in all its magnificence through pieces adorned with black lacquer, gold filigree work and precious inlays, along with damascene silk brocaded hangings graced with medallion motifs.
Above and beyond the style itself, hints of imperial Paris can also be glimpsed on the other side of the Seine, with the gold dome of the Invalides housing the tomb of Napoleon.
From the fifth floor, the delightful private balcony affords a chance to admire at leisure Eiffel Tower, the glass roof of the
Grand Palais and the steeple of Notre-Dame, as the great Parisian classic landmarks steal the show from Napoleonic monuments…

Designed like an authentic apartment, the generously sized suite features exceptionally high ceilings.
Matt black-lacquered beechwood furniture, some of them gilded, velvet-clad lampshades, rare pieces sourced from the finest Parisian antique dealers, contemporary works of art bearing prestigious names: the decor tells a story in each and every detail.
A hidden door leading from the bedroom to the entrance even permits an incognito exit, just like in novels…

The natural light flooding this suite magnifies its magnificent volumes thanks to remarkably high ceilings typical of the first floors of Haussmann-style urban mansions. Time appears to stand still in this atmosphere pervaded by a sense of serene tranquility.
The inviting velvet sofas, the silky touch of the damascene brocade hangings and the plush carpeting are an invitation to enjoy gentle living at a very different pace.
Scattered here and there are gilded bronze sculptures or a few antique curios, as well as artbooks to be leafed through after exploring the resources of the private bar brimming with French vineyard treasures.
During the summer season, the balcony looks out onto a curtain of greenery provided by the majestic trees lining the Avenue Gabriel, an astonishing sight in the middle of Paris.
What a view from the fifth floor! Firstly, the Elysée gardens stretch out at your feet; facing you is the glass roof of the Grand Palais that is equally magnificent by day or by night; and a little higher still, Her Majesty the Eiffel Tower. Paris is yours for the taking viewed from here, a privileged vantage point to feel the pulse of the capital beating like nowhere else.
If you manage to drag your gaze away from the view, you can nestle into one of the velvet sofas to admire the countless details of the ornate interior design.
From the herringbone-pattern wooden flooring to the damascene brocade hangings, French expertise deploys the full breadth of its talent. Scattered here and there, precious pieces of period furniture rub shoulders with colorful abstract paintings creating an inimitably chic effect.

In a capital offering such a stimulating culinary environment as Paris, La Réserve rises to the challenge with two restaurants, overseen by Executive Chef Jérôme Banctel. At the heart of the 8th arrondissement, a few steps from the Champs-Elysées
and the Place de la Concorde, Le Gabriel and La Pagode de Cos embody two interpretations of a single-minded vision of excellence.
Paris-Bordeaux… The latest Jérôme Banctel restaurant pays tribute to Cos d’Estournel, Second Grand cru classé Saint-Estèphe belonging to La Réserve owner Michel Reybier.
The only chateau in the Bordeaux region to feature exotic pagodas, it was indeed the first to export its production to India. La Pagode de Cos perpetuates this spirit of epicurean creativity.
Within the elegant setting of the private mansion at 42, Avenue Gabriel, La Pagode de Cos exalts all the distinctive codes of the French art of living, exemplified in its flowered silk-upholstered armchairs, its finely wrought gilded woodwork and its monumental fireplace.
Jérome Banctel offers fascinating variations on the theme of contemporary seasonal cuisine, constantly evolving yet perpetually inspired by the classics of traditional Bordeaux cuisine.
From refined starters to the spectacular solid silver dessert trolley, a meal here brings a succession of delicious surprises, to be savored visually before enjoying their delicate flavors.

Grand classics of French cuisines are revisited with considerable talent and infused with subtle Japanese influences, inspired by Jérôme Banctel’s many visits to the country.
