Melody in the basement

The Kimpton St. Honoré Paris is an architectural gem, renowned for its art nouveau-inspired façade and timeless elegance. Beneath this exceptional building lies a collection of meticulously designed amenity spaces, where curved, organic forms and a harmonious blend of natural stone, wood, brass, iridescent hues, velvet, and intricate mosaicspay homage to the era’s artistic spirit.

Spanning over 6,000 square feet, the Ballroom is a versatile venue, thoughtfully designed with an acoustic envelopethat provides a serene contrast to the city's energy. The business center, adorned with meeting rooms honoring iconic figures such as Coco Chanel, Le Corbusier, and Eileen Gray, offers an inspiring setting for collaboration.

A standout feature of Kimpton St. Honoré’s amenities is the 3,700-square-foot spa, an oasis of tranquility featuring an infinity pool and a hammam adorned with exquisite mosaics—designed to elevate relaxation to an art form.
