Built in 1863, just as the emblematic Opera district in Paris was created, the Scribe building has been part of the pulse of the city from its beginnings. Home to the original Jockey Club, Paris’s most prestigious private club where the 19th Century elite would gather, it has a long history imbued, with the spirit of the capital. Now, as a grand, 5-star hotel in an enviable location, Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra is writing a new chapter and VeryChic guests are invited to be part of it.
The Opera neighbourhood is the Paris of postcards, the Paris of movies, the Paris you’ve always wanted to experience. There’s a palpable energy all around the leafy avenues lined with Haussmannian buildings, their impressive stone facades decorated by delicate wrought iron balconies and colourful flowers. Your luxurious Parisian home is in one such building, dominating a whole corner with its majestic sweep. Step inside its grand lobby and let your Parisian story begin.
Combining traditional Parisian sophistication with contemporary style, this recently renovated hotel makes each spacious area and room feel warm, inviting and chic. Whether you choose a Superior Room or a Prestige Suite, your city haven is impeccably tasteful with soft, neutral colours punctuated by colourful detailing and artwork. In tribute to the Lumière brothers, inventors of the cinema who held their first public screening at the Scribe, Le Lumière restaurant is a sumptuous, gilded space befitting such movie royalty. Food is temptingly gourmand, with head chef Sebastien Crison indulging his passion for both French and international cuisine to create delightfully surprising dishes.
Outside the doors of your halcyon hideaway, the wonders of Paris lay at your feet. Within moments you can find yourself in yet another iconic part of the city, marvelling at the glass pyramids of the Louvre or strolling along the banks of the Seine. For a truly magical Parisian escape, there’s nowhere with as much flair, sophistication and charm as Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra.
