LA RÉSERVE PARIS HOTEL, SPA AND APARTMENTS
Two visions of
Parisian-style luxury
An event: a new La Réserve hotel and spa opens in Paris
with a second establishment at the Avenue Gabriel, off the
Champs-Elysées. Three kilometers, or just 15 minutes by car,
lie between La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa and La Réserve
Paris – Apartments at Place du Trocadéro. Two neighboring
addresses, two different visions, two complementary ways
of enjoying the capital, as the fancy takes you. Classical 19 th
century Paris-style at the hotel, contemporary Paris-style in the
apartments, but always the same La Réserve-style way of life.

MICHEL REYBIER HOSPITALITY PHILOSOPHY
OVER AND ABOVE SERVICE…
Just like in Geneva or Ramatuelle, Michel Reybier wants
In a world of perfection, only unexpected little

personalized touches have the power of making every

that instill a warm, attentive family atmosphere in each
life rooted in excellence, authenticity and simplicity.
La Réserve hotel and spa. A signature that one joyfully
rediscovers with every stay.
At La Réserve Geneva, Paris or Ramatuelle, Michel
Reybier invites his guests to accompany him on his
quest for discreet elegance, to experience a unique
story, always different but always unforgettable. A sign
of recognition amongst the members of a tight circle
of connoisseurs, the Michel Reybier Hospitality label
marks character-filled institutions, unusual places
where jealously guarded, renewed intimacy has become
an essential value.
THE FEELING OF FINDING ONESELF “AT HOME”
Hospitality, spa, catering… La Réserve interprets its way
of life like an invitation to reconnect with one’s own body
and senses. A whole world where nature’s very best in
terms of nutrition rubs shoulders with state-of-the-art
treatment science. A place that is a home from home,
where guests can focus on the business of relaxing and
recharging their batteries in total peace; on savoring a
slow pace and a gentle art of living at their own pace.

the Place Louis XV, which is today known as Place de
42 Avenue Gabriel. Right bank, a stone’s throw from
the Elysée Palace and the Champs-Elysées, where the
heart of Paris beats. Nestled in a peaceful location,
slightly set back from the most beautiful avenue in the
world, La Réserve Paris-Hotel and Spa overlooks some
of the city’s key sights: the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon,
the Grand Palais and the Concorde obelisk. Just in
front, a majestic curtain of trees preserves the area’s
la Concorde.
At the beginning of the 19th century, and then during the
Second Empire, the Champs-Elysées district became
the prime location for elegant Parisian life. Alongside
the six houses bordering Avenue des Champs-Elysées
in 1800, luxurious dwellings – Haussmann urban
mansions, buildings or bourgeois homes – swiftly
appeared. All the gardens were assigned to the Paris
intimacy, like an echo of the Elysée gardens close by. A

A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE OF PARIS
Michel Reybier’s urban mansion has all the elegance of an
early 19th century private apartment. There is no classic
reception desk per se, but instead every guest who arrives
at 42 Avenue Gabriel is welcomed personally and taken to
their suite to make sure that they feel at home immediately,
in the same way as one would a friend coming to visit at
home. And what a home!
More suites than rooms, large spaces in re-interpreted
classical style, all the codes of a certain way of life: a
library reserved for guests and their friends, a smoking
room, a 16-meter indoor pool (a rarity in Paris), a spa with
three treatment rooms including one specifically for men,
wine cellars in the suites… A world designed for lovers
of fine things who appreciate ultra-personalized services,
perceived as rare and therefore all the more precious
tokens of attention.
A SMALL, PRIVILEGED GROUP…
The guests who frequent the inner circle of La Réserve
regulars will undoubtedly appreciate the fine touch
of Jacques Garcia, who has once again worked with
Michel Reybier on La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa! The
decorator drew his inspiration from canvases by James
Tissot, famous for their subject matter which paints an
accurate picture of bourgeois Paris in the 19th century. The
lobby and the potted jasmine plants pay particular tribute
to this artist. If you wish to admire some of James Tissot’s
works, pay a quick visit to the Musée d’Orsay, right next
to the Seine…

architectural power of the building. The choice of metallic

delicately punctuate this contemporary yet classical
