Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to Hotel Artus, Paris
Hotel Artus brings the golden age of Saint-Germain-des-Prés to life through its 1950s-inspired design, created by architect Yann Frédéric Marie to capture the era when this legendary Left Bank quarter reached its cultural apex. The 27 rooms and suites showcase retro-chic interiors with deep contrasting colours, pop decoration, and warm sophisticated atmospheres that reflect the district's post-war renaissance as the centre of existentialism and jazz. Located in a 19th century building on Rue de Buci - one of Paris' oldest streets dating from 1352 - the hotel occupies a road once home to Sartre and Beauvoir during the intellectual flowering between 1945 and 1950. The intimate scale ensures personal service, with the concierge team receiving particular praise for insider recommendations and multilingual assistance. Breakfast is served in the atmospheric cellar, offering a generous buffet of cooked and continental options, whilst the cosy bar provides an inviting space for pre-dinner drinks before exploring the neighbourhood's renowned nightlife. The hotel's wellness facilities include a complimentary sauna, alongside professional massage services for facial, foot, and back treatments. Each of the unique guestrooms features a marble bathroom with rain shower or balneotherapy tub, adding a further sense of luxury to every visitor's stay. The hotel's location places guests within walking distance of Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore - the legendary establishments frequented by philosophers and writers - as well as the Saint-Germain-des-Prés church, the oldest in Paris, founded in 558 AD.
