Elegance, chic, heritage; everything that makes Paris special is reflected in our guest rooms and suites. Experience exceptional contemporary luxury in one of the city’s most historic hotels, where tradition blends seamlessly with modern technology and comforts.

A favourite as much for Parisians as international travellers, the Lutetia has been the culinary heart of the Left Bank for more than a century. The reason, says Executive Chef Benjamin Brial, is the same whether you arrive through the kitchen door or the grand lobby – a unique world of possibilities at your fingertips.

With five celebrated venues to choose from, guests can look forward to varieties and vintages offered nowhere else. A memorable start is breakfast at L’Orangerie, with a steaming cup of Brial’s signature chocolat chaud. It is a bespoke blend he developed with Valrhona, adding an international twist to a French classic. For lunch and dinner, consider the three-Michelin-star Mediterranean recipes of Chef Passadat at the Brasserie, his only address in Paris. For fine dining, no gourmet feast at Le Saint-Germain is complete without sampling the hotel’s exclusive extra brut Champagne. Then after hours, Bar Joséphine and Bar Aristid welcome guests back from the city’s nightlife with equally sparkling menus and mixes. 

Wherever you choose to dine at the Lutetia, don’t be surprised if you spot Chef Brial, discussing wine pairings at the next table. As innovative in our dining rooms as he is in our kitchens, his philosophy is that fine cuisine enlivens all the senses. This is one reason he has a hand in creating every plate, cup and cuvée. Little wonder the pleasures of a meal at the Lutetia start long before you pick up a menu, and linger long afterwards.

While the Paris Opera is known for combining the dramatic arts, Akasha Paris is famed for uniting the healing ones. A luxurious sanctuary in the heart of the Left Bank, Akasha is a magnet for guests and leading therapists from around the world. No stay in Paris is complete without a visit to this candle-lit oasis, sampling beauty treatments, fitness training, and healing therapies offered nowhere else.

A feeling of balance and well-being pervades our spa from the moment you step inside. Prize-winning architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte designed every detail, choosing each harmonious colour and pleasing texture. From state-of-the-art gym to shimmering full-length pool, secluded hammam to bespoke treatment rooms, each space is a celebration of the senses.

Even the finest facilities are only as good as the experts who practice in them. This is where Akasha particularly shines, drawing a network of healers and coaches unmatched at any other spa. One of our masseurs has twice been honoured as the best in the capital. Another offers treatments only in the afternoons – by day. he’s busy keeping the Opera’s corps de danse in legendary form. This is the exceptional level of treatment you can expect, each visit to Akasha Paris.
