Luxury bespoke hotel holidays to Hotel Norman, Paris
Hotel Norman is an intimate five-star boutique hotel on Rue Balzac, a quiet side street just off the Champs-Élysées, inspired by the work of mid-century American graphic artist Norman Ives and the vibrant spirit of the 1960s. The interiors combine bold geometric patterns, warm woods, and curated contemporary artworks, creating a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere that feels more like a stylish Parisian residence than a traditional grand hotel. Many of the 37 rooms and suites feature private balconies or terraces with views over the courtyard or Parisian rooftops, some with glimpses of the Eiffel Tower, while generous windows fill the spaces with natural light. At street level, the signature restaurant Thiou by chef Apiradee Thirakomen serves refined Thai cuisine with French flair, from delicately spiced curries to reimagined classics, attracting both hotel guests and locals. The cosy bar and lounge extend into a planted courtyard terrace, offering an inviting setting for coffee, afternoon tea, or Asian-influenced cocktails that echo the flavours of the restaurant. Downstairs, the spa provides a tranquil retreat with a heated indoor plunge pool, sauna, hammam, treatment rooms, and fitness space, ideal for unwinding after a day exploring the city. Thoughtful, personalised service, from the concierge's restaurant and theatre recommendations to small touches in-room, reinforces the hotel's boutique character and makes Hotel Norman a distinctive address for city breaks and stops on longer touring holidays in France.

The journey and how you get there

Charles de Gaulle is around 35–45 minutes away by car, while Orly is usually 25–40 minutes; both airports are also linked to central Paris by RER trains and shuttle buses that connect with the metro. Alternatively, you can travel by Eurostar to Paris Gare du Nord and take a short metro or taxi ride to the hotel. Once in Paris, the central location means many key sights can be explored on foot, by metro, or by using hop-on, hop-off sightseeing buses and river cruises on the Seine.
