Literary Legacy on the Left Bank

Where Parisian Intellectual History Meets Contemporary Design

Poised on the quiet Rue du Pré-aux-Clercs in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Pavillon Faubourg Saint-Germain embodies the quintessential Left Bank esprit. In 1921, Irish author James Joyce took up residence within these very walls to put the finishing touches on his revolutionary novel Ulysses.

Completely redesigned in 2021 by visionary Parisian architect Didier Benderli (Kérylos Intérieurs), the boutique hotel unites three historic buildings into an intimate private residence. Warm walnut paneling, bespoke herringbone parquets, curated brass chandeliers, and bookshelves filled with French and world literature create an atmosphere that is both aristocratic and refreshingly modern.

With only 47 rooms and suites, hospitality is warm, discreet, and deeply customized. Guests savor neo-brasserie gastronomy by celebrated Chef Thibault Sombardier at Les Parisiens, sip literary cocktails at the fireside James Joyce Bar, and plunge into the subterranean relaxation pool at Spa des Prés by CODAGE.
