Live summer in Paris at Hôtel Dame des Arts, a chic retreat in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés

 

A confidential address with Parisian charm

When summer comes, Paris radiates a unique energy. Hôtel Dame des Arts, a four-star boutique hotel nestled in the literary district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, is the perfect embodiment of this vibrant, elegant atmosphere. Just a stone's throw from the Seine, Jardin du Luxembourg and Île de la Cité, the hotel invites guests to discover a contemporary and refined vision of the capital. With design by Raphaël Navot, noble materials, flowing lines and attention to detail in every space, Hôtel Dame des Arts combines comfort, aesthetics and discretion. Here, every moment is lived with intensity, every detail tells a story.

 

The rooftop: an open-air experience

Perched atop the hotel, the rooftop is one of the most spectacular on the Left Bank. With its panoramic view over the rooftops of Paris, the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the city's iconic skyline, it becomes the scene of an unforgettable summer. As night falls, it comes alive with live concerts, DJ sets and exclusive events celebrating culture, music and conviviality. The 2025 summer program promises to be rich, with an exceptional acoustic concert by Tété on June 20, followed by four-hands dinners and a comedy club set up exceptionally on the rooftop, under the stars.

During the day, the rooftop transforms into a haven of tranquillity, perfect for sipping a signature cocktail or sharing a light lunch while admiring the Parisian skyline. The atmosphere is sunny, peaceful, almost meditative. It's the ideal place to enjoy Paris in a different way, between sky and city.

 

A lively neighborhood to explore on foot

Saint-Germain-des-Prés is one of the most pleasant neighborhoods to stroll through in summer. Strolling through its shady alleyways, stopping in a gallery, leafing through a novel in a bookshop or enjoying a coffee on a terrace are among the simple pleasures that make this neighborhood so endearing. From early morning onwards, the streets come alive with a gentle effervescence of markets, artisans and neighborhood culture. Just a stone's throw from the hotel, booksellers line the Seine, the Luxembourg gardens invite you to daydream, and the quays open up for poetic strolls along the water's edge.

The Hôtel Dame des Arts is ideally located for exploring Paris' finest sites on foot, from the Sainte-Chapelle to the Pantheon, via the Institut de France and the romantic bridges of the historic center. It's the perfect base from which to experience the city's rhythm and feel the soul of the Left Bank.

 

Elegance in every detail

When you return from your walks, the hotel's rooms welcome you into a soothing ambience. Some feature private terraces to enjoy a sunrise over the rooftops, while others offer iconic views that transform every stay into a sensory experience. Every space has been designed to offer comfort, privacy and aesthetic appeal, from the bespoke furnishings to the natural materials on the walls and floors.

One of the hotel's hidden treasures lies away from the hustle and bustle of Paris: the Pimpan Garden. A veritable vacation spot in the heart of the city, this garden terrace blends warm wood and lush vegetation. In the morning, you can enjoy a peaceful coffee, come back for brunch, and at dusk, the place transforms into a vibrant spot to share a drink or extend the evening with a summer dinner. It's an address we pass on in hushed tones, a (no longer very) well-kept secret that perfectly reflects the confidential and refined spirit of the Hôtel Dame des Arts. Every corner of the hotel invites you to slow down, to breathe, to be inspired. 

 

A summer of culture, relaxation and art de vivre

Staying at the Hôtel Dame des Arts means experiencing Paris in harmony with its rhythm, its light and its cultural effervescence. Between suspended moments on the rooftop, gastronomic discoveries, artistic programming and escapades in the streets of the 6th arrondissement, summer takes on a very special flavor. The hotel becomes much more than a place to pass through: it becomes a refined landmark from which to explore Paris, feel its energy and celebrate every moment.
