Hôtel Balzac . Paris . France .

Hôtel Balzac is a new, 5-star luxury hotel on a quiet side street off just off the top of the Champs-Élysées in Paris’ 8th Arr. The 58 room-and-suite hotel is set in a historic building on the site of the French author Honoré de Balzac’s former home. It reopened June 1, 2024 after a complete renovation by Festen Architecture. The hotel features some rooms with views of the Eiffel Tower and some with open-air terraces. Public spaces include a glass-roofed lobby lounge, a discrete bar and the Japanese-inspired Ikoi Spa. The hotel is home to the 3-Michelin star restaurant, Pierre Gagnaire. Owned by Olivier Bertrand and his family, Hôtel Balzac and its sister hotels, Relais Christine in the Latin Quarter, and the Saint James Paris, in the 16th, are members of Relais & Chateaux.
