La Réserve Paris: A Decade of Intimate Luxury in a Haussmann Mansion

Opened in 2015, La Réserve Paris prioritizes a sense of intimacy and sophistication rather than conventional opulence. Situated in a 19th-century Haussmannian mansion at 42 Av. Gabriel, 75008 Paris, it provides a homely ambiance complemented by outstanding service. Nestled in the 8th arrondissement, the hotel is close to landmarks such as the Grand Palais, Petit Palais, Place de la Concorde, and the Seine, with the Eiffel Tower and designer shops just a stroll away. The design by Jacques Garcia showcases original cornices, antiques, and luxurious fabrics. The Eiffel Presidential Suite, spanning 140 square meters, boasts balcony views of the Eiffel Tower. Le Gabriel, a three Michelin-starred dining venue, presents three tasting menus. The Spa Nescens features a 16-meter indoor pool. Review by Lauren Ho, Travel Director of Wallpaper*.
