In the 16th arrondissement of the French capital, Saint James Paris lovingly cultivates a world of unmatched refinement and art de vivre. Close to the Arc de Triomphe and Avenue Foch, this exceptional hotel reveals a discreet character imbued with pastoral charm and an aura unlike any other. Graced with 5,000 square metres of greenery, it holds court amidst marvellous gardens made all the more remarkable by the landscape designer Xavier de Chirac. This former private mansion is now bridging its romantic neoclassical soul with modernity, thanks to the talents of interior designer Laura Gonzalez, who has achieved a perfect symbiosis of plant life and art deco. The decorative contrasts exhibit a rare elegance, as evidenced by the fifty rooms and suites which are at once chic and poetic, grandiose and intimate. It is unique amalgam that continues with the cuisine of chef Julien Dumas who, in the Bellefeuille gourmet restaurant, sublimates the diversity and intensity of flavours while celebrating his ardent passion for nature and seafood.
