The rooftops of Paris’s luxury hotels: true urban oases
When the weather is fine, Parisians and visitors alike want to take their time… and get a bird’s-eye view. Summer is, after all, the long-awaited season to discover the rooftops that are all the rage. Here is a non-exhaustive selection.
Le Brach Paris
The rooftop at Le Brach Paris is a must-visit, an iconic and exclusive venue. The capital’s rooftops stretch as far as the eye can see, offering a 180° view, yet the atmosphere remains intimate, thanks in particular to the venue’s arty vibe.
Madame Rêve
A change of location and riverbank for this hotel, which offers panoramic views of Montmartre to the north, the Centre Pompidou and the nearby Saint-Eustache church. To complete this panorama, cosy furnishings and a selection of refreshments (signature cocktails, dishes, etc.) invite you to relax.
Peninsula
Head west towards the Eiffel Tower to reach the rooftop of this Parisian luxury hotel. Thirty seats await the lucky few to enjoy a breathtaking view. Chef David Bizet’s summer menu is equally impressive, offering a unique gastronomic experience.
Kimpton Saint-Honoré
Just a stone’s throw from the Opéra Garnier lies this rooftop terrace, offering an irresistible view of the monument. The elegant and welcoming décor invites you to unwind, whilst signature cocktails and a carefully curated menu foster a sense of conviviality and relaxation.
Hôtel Molitor – M Gallery
Another iconic venue if ever there was one. The Molitor swimming pool is undoubtedly the most legendary of Paris’s swimming pools, immortalised on numerous occasions, particularly during fashion shows held around the pool. The Molitor features a 46-metre heated outdoor pool, accessible to non-residents through bespoke packages.
