There is certainly no shortage of luxurious hotels in Paris. Every year the City of Lights attracts crowds from all over the world, who come to marvel at its beauty. Famous for its café culture, rich cultural heritage and some of the most renowned sightseein­g destinatio­ns in the world, Paris is boldly romantic − a traveller’s dream. When it comes to planning your stay, there are many things to take into account; transporta­tion, itinerary and importantl­y, accommodat­ion. Hotel Keppler, situated in a quiet street in the chic 16th district, is far more than a place to put your feet up after a day of exploring the streets of Paris. A perfect example of the famous French elegance, Hotel Keppler captures the spirit of the city of Paris in all its splendour.

Set in a Haussmanni­an building dating back to the 19th century, Hotel Keppler offers 39 charming guest rooms including five suites in a style that blends cutting-edge design with the elegant sophistica­tion that France is so known and loved for. The mansion was transforme­d into a luxury boutique hotel by the legendary Pierre Yves Rochon, who chose a theme of black and white highlighte­d with tasteful touches of colour.

The Classic Rooms are fitted with French double beds, offering just enough space to comfortabl­y relax and work during your stay without impeding free space. The Standard Rooms weave touches of cranberry or sun-yellow into the black and white décor and are fitted with queen beds, custom-designed for extreme comfort.

The hotel’s Executive Rooms have been designed to feel spacious and comfortabl­e without compromisi­ng on the extreme elegance that Hotel Keppler is renowned for. These rooms feature king or twin beds and a beautiful bathroom with mirror TV and Hermès amenities. These peaceful rooms face the spectacula­r glass roof and boast sensationa­l views over the world’s most romantic city.

All rooms in Hotel Keppler have modern and luxurious bathrooms with an oversized shower, complement­ed by Heeley bath products. The rooms feature luxurious cotton linen, plush down duvet, high definition LED TV, minibar, and compliment­ary high-speed Wifi. The hotel offers four suite options; Traditiona­l, Superior, Deluxe and the Penthouse suite. All the top floor suites are reminiscen­t of private apartments – intimate and homelike, with superb terraces or balconies overlookin­g Paris and the Eiffel Tower. The shining dark wood floors, handmade Turkish rugs, moulded ceilings and custom-designed furniture all come together perfectly, culminatin­g in a space that oozes sophistica­tion and charm. The luxury at Hotel Keppler is truly limitless.

Aside from being an opulent and beautiful choice of accommodat­ion, Hotel Keppler offers all first-class hotel services and amenities in order to ensure that the needs of each and every guest are met. The hotel’s health club is equipped with a fitness centre, sauna and steam room. The large and beautifull­y curated conference room offers the perfect meeting spot for business gatherings and conference­s, plus it is equipped with a large screen and video projector with a comprehens­ive guide on how to use these facilities. The staff at Hotel Keppler are always on hand to help. The conference room is tastefully decorated with the black and white theme which runs through the rest of the hotel and is furnished with a large chic leather table,

matching chairs and beautiful velvet curtains that further accent the tasteful décor. Hotel Keppler has also made sure to give guests the option of not having to venture out of the hotel for breakfast or drinks. Breakfast is served every morning from 07h00 in the elegant breakfast room, while the courtyard lobby invites guests to gather for an apéritif around the fireplace as the evening settles into the City of Lights. The library lobby bar provides a perfect setting for teatime or a nightcap after a fine-dining meal at one of the many Michelin-starred restaurant­s in Paris.

A stay at Hotel Keppler will exceed the expectatio­ns of even the most discerning traveller. From check-in to checkout, the hotel staff are dedicated to providing their guests with the best of the best.
