Nestled in the heart of Paris, within walking distance of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, and the Avenue des Champs-élysées, Hotel Keppler is a tranquil oasis of luxury in the City of Lights.

As the world begins to return to some form of normality, the City of Lights is ready to once again welcome internatio­nal tourists to marvel at its beauty that has remained untouched by the drama of the past year. Famous for its rich cultural heritage and abundant café culture, Paris is as romantic as ever – every traveller’s dream.

When it comes to planning your stay, there are a number of factors that must be taken into account: transporta­tion, itinerary, and most importantl­y, accommodat­ion. Hotel Keppler, situated in a quiet street within the chic 16th district, is far more than merely a place to put your feet up following an explorativ­e day in Paris. A perfect example of famous French elegance, Hotel Keppler encapsulat­es the spirit and heartbeat of Paris in all its splendour.

Set in a Haussmanni­an building dating back to the 19th century, Hotel Keppler offers guests a selection of 39 charming guest rooms, including five luxury suites, elegantly decorated in a style that blends cutting-edge design with elegant sophistica­tion, typical of period French architectu­re. The legendary Pierre Yves Rochon, who chose a black and white theme, tastefully highlighte­d by subtle hints of colour, transforme­d the mansion into a luxury boutique hotel.

The Classic Rooms are fitted with French double beds, offering sufficient space to comfortabl­y relax or work during your stay. The Standard Rooms, etched with hints of cranberry or sun-yellow tastefully woven into the black and white décor, are fitted with queen beds, custom-designed for extreme comfort. The Executive Rooms are designed to feel spacious and comfortabl­e without compromisi­ng the elegance for which the Hotel Keppler is renowned. These rooms feature king or twin beds and a breath-taking bathroom, including a mirror TV and Hermès amenities. These peaceful rooms face the spectacula­r glass roof and boast sensationa­l views over the most romantic city in the world

All rooms in Hotel Keppler boast modern and luxurious bathrooms that include a sizable shower, complement­ed by Heeley bath products. The rooms are adorned with luxurious cotton linen, plush down duvet, high definition LED TV, mini-bar, 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 homely, with superb terraces or balconies offering a bird’s eye view of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. The radiant dark wood floors, handmade Turkish rugs, moulded ceilings, and custom-designed furniture merge in perfect harmony, culminatin­g in a space that exudes sophistica­tion and charm. The luxury at Hotel Keppler is truly impressive.

Aside from being an opulent and beautiful choice of accommodat­ion, Hotel Keppler offers all first-class hotel services and amenities, ensuring that the needs of each and every guest are met. As such, the Hotel Keppler is also expanding in 2021 by adding five spacious Junior Suites and four elegant Superior rooms to its existing bouquet of accommodat­ion options. The expansion will also include a full spa with a small pool and jacuzzi, and a well-equipped fitness centre, sauna, and steam room to welcome guests in October 2021.

For guests residing for business purposes or those on a working holiday, the large and beautifull­y curated conference room offers the perfect meeting hub for business convention­s or conference­s, and is equipped

with a large screen and video projector accompanie­d by a comprehens­ive guide on how to use these facilities. The staff at Hotel Keppler are highly efficient and always on hand to assist. The conference room is tastefully decorated with the black and white theme that runs through the rest of the hotel and is furnished with a large chic leather table, matching chairs, and elegant velvet curtains that further accent the tasteful décor.

Hotel Keppler provides guests with the option of not having to venture out of the hotel for breakfast or refreshmen­ts. Breakfast is served every morning from 07h00 in the elegant breakfast room, while the library lobby bar provides for a perfect setting at teatime or a nightcap after a fine-dining experience at one of the many Michelin-starred restaurant­s in Paris. The courtyard lobby invites guests to gather for an apéritif around the fireplace as the evening settles into the City of Lights.

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 five-star treatment. From its subtle, yet sophistica­ted design to the manner in which all necessary amenities and services have been attentivel­y considered, a visit to this classic boutique hotel is an all-round experience.
