In the heart of Paris, surrounded by the highly elegant Faubourg Saint-Honoré, experience a fashion show atmosphere while you discover this new collection of experiences. You will be charmed by the signature of the designer Didier Gomez and his eclectic vision of the Parisian style.
The hotel perfectly reflects the city of Paris, capital of elegance, thanks to its position in Saint-Honoré district, nestled among high fashion houses and fine jewelry workshops and boutiques.
Located a few steps away from the Place de la Concorde, the Tuileries Gardens, the mythical Champs Elysées and the Grand Palais Galeries, it is an ideal base for experiencing the best of Parisian art and culture.
Fashion experience in the heart of Paris
Enhancing the architecture of this 18th-century private mansion, subtle interior design combines a host of inspirations, while furniture and fabrics display a sumptuous range of materials and patterns. Pilasters and moldings gleam in dazzling white or are adorned in hues of gold and gray.
Louis XV armchairs sit next to minimalist tables. Abstract geometric Art motifs reveal the classicism of the typically Parisian columned foyer. A unique blend of harmonies and contrasts that is sure to captivate.
Corridor walls are like a gallery of prints depicting fashion muses – a celebration of femininity. Their beauty is immortalized by some of the world's most famous photographers: Horst P. Horst, Chaloner Woods, Irving Penn. This inspiring fashion portfolio reminds us that history's greatest fashion houses are just around the corner. And it pays homage to the illustrious history of this exclusive address, home to Marie-Claire in the '90s.
Entrance and glass roofed lobby
Didier Gomez has marvellously succeeded in breathing new life into the lobby which has become a dynamic space in its own right, alive with the comings and goings of guests who also use it as a place to meet up and in which to relax.
The grey stone walls light up with gold leaves, which brings added modernity and warmth. All eyes are immediately drawn to the superb mirrors, or the 70's style audacious chandelier. In the middle of the lobby, the floor gives the illusion of reflecting a painted ceiling thanks to the rug printed with inversed charcoal sketches of figures.
The choice of furnishings conveys a harmonious confrontation between the 18th and 21st centuries, in a gradation of white, beige, grey, black and gold. The classicism which traditionally defines the Parisian palaces and fashion houses has been refreshed to create a new, unique and strong identity and to place the hotel firmly in the present day.
The guestrooms
In the 147 guestrooms, the intimate, soft and crystalline atmosphere designed by Didier Gomez reflects the spirit of Parisian luxury.
The light bathes the clear toned rooms and plays sensually on the precious velvets and the satins of the bedspreads. Mouldings, pendants and Louis XV style armchair, the charm of the Parisian 18th century harmonizes audaciously with the design and with the asserted modernity of the furniture. Didier Gomez signed highly stylish rooms, expression of today elegance.
Slightly old-looking mirrors reflect the brilliant ball dresses photographed by Cecil Beaton for Vogue. The light plays on pendants and precious materials. An attractive case of studded raw leather hides the dressing and invites you in the fitting of your most beautiful outfit.
The intimate, soft and crystalline atmosphere created by Didier Gomez is the image of the spirit of the Parisian luxury.
Sofitel conceived a unique concept so that the hotel guests could live a new night experience.
MyBed consists of a mattress, a feather over-mattress, a duvet and pillows in order to slide into the heart of a nest, amongst its down and feathers.
The suites
At the heart of the celebrated Faubourg Saint-Honoré amidst the most emblematic labels from the world of Haute Couture, the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg has always had a vibrant feel for fashion. It strongly inspired renowned interior designer Didier Gomez who imagined the new collection of Suites of the hotel.
Considering that every creative act must sit naturally within an environment, the famous designer here has imagined creations that pay tribute to fashion. This approach consolidates the legitimate connection between the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, fashion and its signature neighborhood.
Didier Gomez pays the utmost attention to decorative materials and objects, and masters the use of space. He has created unique, welcoming areas that reveal the true identity of the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg Hotel.
The spirit of the 21 suites recreates the harmony and elegance of the salons in the leading couture houses through the choice of materials, furniture and colors. Ivory, gray and black form the dominant tones that enhance gold, crystal and amethyst. The decorative option preferred by Didier Gomez lies with a subtle balance between the 18th century and the present day. While cornices, pilasters, armchairs and mirrors evoke the Century of Light, the modern contrast resides with the contemporary design of carpeting, certain decorative objects and more particularly the organization of the actual space, with a “wellness” room opening onto the bedroom.
36 suites embody the theme of a Parisian apartment in a wide range of six categories, from the Junior to the penthouse opening on the roofs of Paris.
A new chic and charm offensive which meets the emerging demand of today's travelers, who demand comfort, beauty of material and masterly use of space. Each detail works to provide a moment of life steeped in refinement.

The suggested dishes are creative interpretations of his elegant and subtle cuisine, and a hymn to escape.
