Elegant artful hideaway.
Located on the former estate of novelist Honoré de Balzac just off the Champs-Élysées, the Hotel Balzac is a blend of 1930s elegance, modern refinement, and Parisian charm, offering a serene retreat from the city’s bustling avenues.
Insider Tip

Look closely and you’ll find original art, design books, and other nods to the hotel’s literary heritage throughout the rooms—as well as amenities like a curated cocktail recipe book, along with the necessary ingredients. Non-alcoholic options also included.

Where You’re Staying

Each room offers neutral tones, clean lines, and views of Rue Balzac, Rue Lord Byron, or the inner courtyard. Bathrooms have marble mosaic flooring, some accented by wood paneling. Boudoir Rooms and Superior Rooms offer a queen bed, while Deluxe Rooms feature a king bed and a sofa. For a more luxurious stay, choose from one of the eight suites: the top-floor suites face the Eiffel Tower and feature a rooftop terrace overlooking the Champs-Elysées.

Where to Dine

Enjoy a Parisian breakfast or a leisurely lunch under the majestic glass roof in the Balzac Hotel Lounge. To end your day, sip a drink inspired by Balzac’s novels at the hotel bar.

Where to Relax

Visit the fitness center, relax in the sauna, or dip in the plunge pool. Afterwards, revitalize your body and mind in the Ikoi Spa, Japanese for “a place where one feels good.” The treatment menu, inspired by Japanese techniques, features Kobido facial treatment, Shiatsu, and deep tissue massage.

What to Do

Named for one of the best-known observers of 19th century Parisian life, the Hotel Balzac offers ample opportunity for you to make some Parisian observations of your own. Book a Seine river cruise to see Paris from a new angle, find a seat in the alcove of the Balzac Hotel Bar to sip a drink and observe locals and travelers from around the world.
