The only château-hotel in Paris has just undergone a total renovation under the leadership of Laura Gonzalez. Shielded from view in its enclosed garden redesigned by Xavier de Chirac, the Saint James Paris has been envisioned as a private home, soft and luminous, where the art of living à la Parisienne is cultivated. It has 50 rooms and suites designed like the apartments of a private collector. Next to the bar-library, perfect for private conversations, is Bellefeuille, the starred restaurant, decorated like a winter garden, where Chef Julien Dumas prepares responsible cuisine inspired by nature. Under the majestic pergola installed in the gardens, an outdoor bar and patio have been created. The Guerlain spa now has three treatment rooms and a wellness area including a 15-meter natural daylight pool.

During the day, access to the Saint James Paris is reserved for hotel residents and members of the Saint James Club. Starting at 7:00 pm, the library-bar, the Bellefeuille restaurant and the outdoor patio are open to the public. It is also possible to schedule a treatment at the Guerlain spa without being a member.
