A ‘Hotel Particulier’ in Paris

I  hope that you all have had a wonderful Mother’s Day! If you want to drop your family a hint for next year’s Mother’s day, then maybe you could show the images of this elegant Parisian hotel , to hopefully be invited to spend a Mother’s Day weekend here!!!

SAINT JAMES PARIS

Browsing the magazine Elle Decoration, issue Mai 2011, I came across this hotel that recently is been given a new look by the American-in-Paris designer Bambi Sloan. With an English humour she redesigned the interior of the hotel in her personal bright version of the French 19th century Napoleon III-style.

This beautiful hotel Saint James Paris is a magnificent chateau built in 1893 in the center of Paris, protected from prying eyes by high walls and a wrought iron gate.

It was previously known as the Saint James's Club and has been in private French ownership since 1992. Now it is run as a lovely chateau-hotel.

It was here that the Montgolfières launched the first primitive airship.

Interesting to know is, that the hotel has its own blog : Le blog Saint James Paris, where you will discover all the upcoming events and news about what is going on at the hotel and in Paris! Really worth a visit!

 

I wish you all a happy new week!

  10. Greet,

    This looks like a fabUlous place to stay. The rooms are so beautifully designed. I could sleep in any of the bedrooms but was especially fond of the deluxe room. Sigh...if only!

    Hope your Mother's Day was an enjoyable one.

  15. Dear Greet....my husband and I spent our 30th Wedding anniversary at the Saint James in 2000...the establishment could not have been more gracious to us. They provided us with a driver/guide/bodyguard in a beautiful black Mercedes with a bottle of vintage champagne in the car, blanket, appetizers and a magical tour of Paris, twinkling lights and all. Thank you for the memory......Susan Scheer

  16. Was just oohing over this yesterday. So elegant and yet so adventurous! I especially loved her use of leopard. This really has become a new must see for Paris. Well, even if it is to only have a drink at the bar! ;)

    Have a great week!
