Saint James Hotel- Paris, France
Hotel Overview:
Sumptuous yet oh-so romantic. The time-honoured Grand Hôtel codes have been scrupulously respected in this neoclassic building that embodies the iconic hôtel particulier. The Saint James, imagined as a gracious and luminous private residence, invites guests on an amazing journey through time, it exudes a modern and timeless Parisian chic but also the soul of a real home.
A warm, intimate spirit also embodied by the king and generous service, impeccable at all times. Sharing what is good and beautiful is a core value of Relais & Châteaux that takes on full significance here.
Embracing the city more than ever, the Saint James Paris has a special place in the hearts of Parisians, a confidential refuge where friends meet for coffee, discuss world issues in the Club or enjoy lunch in the cool garden shade. Throughout the years, travellers from around the globe, neighbours from down the street and inveterate Club members rub shoulders and strike up conversations. They form the “Saint James society”, an informal community that espouses a mindset all its own.
Saint James Paris is a neoclassical sanctuary nestled in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, a remarkable chateaux-hotel that takes guests on a sophisticated journey. Once the private residence was home to the Thiers Foundation which supported promising students with boarding amenities and scholarships. Extending on the intellectual spirit, the manor was then transformed into the Saint James Club of Paris, a London-style private club. Serenading along with the Parisian charm, Saint James promises to deliver a warm, stylish and elegant abode in the heart of the city.
An English-style library bar serves as a day-to-night meeting spot for both guests of the hotel and Saint James members, which makes up for a lively ambiance.To add more reason not to leave the hotel premises, a Michelin-rated restaurant Bellefeuille, by chef Julien Dumas promises to take you on a savory journey complimented by an aristocratic feel of the interiors by Laura Gonzalez. Chef’s exclusive access to the garden’s fresh produce of organic vegetables and fruits is a dedication to serving only the timely and highest quality of ingredients by supporting eco-responsibility. During warmer temperatures, guests will be served to enjoy the vibrant pergola by the adjacent garden.
A member of Relais Christine and Relais Chateaux, Saint James equally pampers all five senses. Make sure you allow time for yourself at Guerlain SPA and relax by the indoor pool which feels like a hidden oasis. And when you retreat back into one of the 50 rooms designed as a warm, home-like cocoon you will sensually already have been acclimatized to the Parisian charm greeted by sweets of famous institution Angelina.
Saint James Paris undoubtedly will leave you feeling like a movie character with its charming setting and each time you retreat back into your hotel through the gates of the manor, you will be sure you are exactly where you are supposed to be.
