Tucked away in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Hôtel Montalembert is a place where writers, artists, journalists, and discerning travelers have met for 100 years. Recognized as the first boutique hotel in Paris, and later the first five-star establishment on the Left Bank, it has upheld its persona as an intellectual refuge since its earliest days.
To fully embrace this celebratory year, the “100 Years” Experience is shaped by culinary delights, olfactory discoveries, body treatments, and thoughtful touches for its visitors.
At the spa, the “The Essence of 1926” Signature Treatment, created in collaboration with Calma Paris, extends this philosophy of rediscovered time, a delicate ritual conceived as a moment to breathe, where well-being and relaxation take center stage.
At the table, celebration becomes conversation. The Chef introduces special “100 Years” culinary programming, including an anniversary menu and themed evenings throughout the year, while the “100 Years” cocktail serves as a discreet ritual that echoes the magic of the hour when Saint-Germain-des-Prés grows quiet.
Upon arrival, guests will take in the new THE MONTALEMBERT FRAGRANCE. The exclusive candle was conceived as a true olfactory signature with luminous notes of bergamot and orange, subtly softened by the freshness of neroli and petitgrain. At its heart, orange blossom reveals a delicately creamy sweetness, before giving way to a warm base of sandalwood, enhanced with a subtle hint of spiced cardamom.
In the city, a new guided tour explores 100 years of history in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. In the heart of the Left Bank, this exclusive guided walk invites guests to discover its artistic heritage, hidden addresses, and the iconic places that shaped the legend of the neighborhood.
Montalembert’s centenary is not a spectacular interlude, but a lasting celebration–an entire year envisioned as a succession of gatherings and experiences faithful to the hotel’s character. Through this new chapter, Hôtel Montalembert reaffirms its promise: to remain a place of life and ideas, deeply anchored in its neighborhood, a discreet address ready to welcome those who wish to experience Paris in complete intimacy.
