Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra ★★★★★

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.
