A 1910 hotel
It was founded in 1910 by the Boucicaut family, owners of Le Bon Marché, for the customers and suppliers of their department store, which is right opposite. It was designed by Léon Binet and Paul Belmondo, between Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Picasso, Matisse, Saint-Exupéry and Josephine Baker passed through, and James Joyce finished Ulysses here. The architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte restored it completely and it reopened in May 2018: he recovered the stained-glass of the central salon and the frescoes in the bar named after Josephine Baker.

It has rooms, suites, connecting rooms for families and adapted rooms. For eating there is the Brasserie Lutetia, with classic French cooking, and Le Saint-Germain, open all day; for a drink, the Bar Josephine and the Bar Aristide, with music. The spa, created in the restoration, has treatments, a hairdresser and a fitness room.
