The Ritz now offers 71 rooms and 71 suites from 40 to 300 sqm. The most luxurious ones bear the names of illustrious guests such F. Scott Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, Charlie Chaplin, Maria Callas, the Duke of Windsor, Ernest Hemingway, Marcel Proust, Colette, Jean Cocteau, Jean-Paul Sartre, as does the Proust Salon, the perfect place to indulge at tea time.

The renovation of the Palace has revived the spirit of French style luxury infused by César Ritz at its opening in 1898. The 18th Century and Empire Style signatures have remained intact and adorn walls laden with history.
Well being seekers will be delighted with the splendid Neoclassical 18 meter-long indoor pool; a for the Chanel spa, it houses 8 treatment rooms and signature treatments, one fitness room with a personal coach and a David Mallett hair salon.
The outside is noteworthy for the French style gardens and the terrasse Vendôme which turns into a winter garden thanks to its retractable roof.
At the helm of l’Espadon, a restaurant known by gourmets from across the world are Chef Nicolas Sale, pastry Chef François Perret and Estelle Touzet as Head Sommelier.

Silencio is a one of a kind private club, since it is dedicated to creative communities only. It is a place of exchanges and encounters which claims a filiation with many a place like literary salons, London clubs in the 18th century, [parles-tu du Tabou pour la référence aux existentialistes ?] and a few nightlife landmarks like the Palace and even Studio 54. At last partying and culture are gathered together in one place with this nightly platform for Parisian cultural life, exhibitions and fairs.
Silencio was conceived by David Lynch himself and boasts a photography gallery, a 24-seat movie theater, a library, two bars, one stage and a smoking room.
Members are welcome from Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm for the cultural programme, but the club is also open to all from Tuesday to Thursday from Midnight to 4am, and on Friday and Saturday until 6am.
Antique polished paving stones and beams, wooden floors typical Versailles, antique furniture, massive fireplace in stone of Bourgogne and, as in the nobility, real Aubusson tapestries in the reception rooms.
A real 17th century residence in the heart of Saint-Germain, entirely rethought to answer to the actual expectations without losing anything from the charm of its past.
Located in the most beautiful “place”, the Hotel Récamier looks like a typically germanopratine large impressive house. Its luxury has nothing ostentatious, it is just chic. Its 24 rooms are all very refined. The teatime is sacred and the welcome is charming.

Castel is the mythical club of Saint-Germain. A hundred times people said it was over, but it always comes to life again, constantly attracting new customers that become regulars. The clientele is a show by itself. A wildlife crowd of young trendy people mixes naturally with the longstanding regular customers for memorable parties.
The Bar de l’Hotel is true to the long tradition of discrete, muffled and refined hotels bars where we meet a writer, an actress or some friends around a cocktail.

Of this Directoire house, Jacques Garcia made a charming house, luxurious but intimate and discrete.
Each room has its own story which is reflected in a specific decoration. If you like English literature, the room number 16 where Oscar Wilde lived during a long time will be your place, but you will have many others choices, from Marco Polo to Charles the 10th passing by Mistinguett or Venice and Pondichery. The hotel is most probably one of the most beautiful places of Saint-Germain-des-prés.
A very New-Yorkish style for this very pretty club. Divine little alcoholic potions, a couple of writers, pretty germanopratin girls and fashion sub-editors come here to dance and to drink a Mojito. Come on, take a Florida Tarragon or a Mazarini Rosa before going to the Montana to spend the rest of the night with Parisian rebels.

L’Esprit Saint-Germain is a hotel designed as a private house in minute detail. This hotel has nothing ostentatious but has a true “spirit”, a mix of elegance and conviviality, comfort and refinement. Everything is thought through for us to feel at home. At any hour of the day, in the library living room, in front of the fireplace, we can read the newspaper, leaf through a book, drink a coffee or receive friends around a drink.

The Café Laurent is located in the very pretty Hotel d’Aubusson. Each Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, from 6:30, it welcomes a jazz band. The rest of the week, the Germanopratins come here to have a first or last drink quiet, in front of a big fireplace, or in the patio during the summer.
