Maison Albar - Le Pont-Neuf, the chic hotel in the heart of Paris

We'd already discovered Odette, the Rostangs' cosy restaurant in the Halles district. How about taking a few steps further to discover the Hôtel Maison Albar - Le Pont Neuf , which houses this inn?

Passing through the sensual curves of Odette's walls, we arrive in the hotel lobby, where curves take on a more discreet appearance: on the lines of the floor, the sinuosity of the sofa, the contours of the furniture. The 60 rooms, too, echo these feminine curves in soft tones of beige, old rose and duck blue.

The highlight is the Suite 1923, named after the year of birth of Céline Falco's grandmother, heiress to the Albar family. This two-storey room offers a 180° view of the Paris skyline from the top floor, so you can fall asleep with stars in your eyes.

For Parisians and hotel guests alike, the Maison Albar Paris Celine offers a range of treatments in its Cinq Monde spa, including some based on Ayurvedic medicine, a traditional Indian medicine considered to be the oldest practice in history. A gym and swimming pool are also available to guests and Parisians alike.
