Recently reopened after an extensive renovation, Hotel Balzac occupies an elegant early 19th-century building just steps from the Avenue des Champs-Élysées. Once the home of renowned French writer Honoré de Balzac, the hotel has been artfully reimagined by architectural studio Festen, blending contemporary elegance with materials that honor Parisian heritage. Its 58 rooms and suites feature 1930s-inspired décor, with select accommodations offering breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. Guests can unwind in the Japanese spa, a serene haven with a sauna, plunge pool, and traditional massages and treatments.
