Maison Proust, Hotel & Spa La Mer

After walking out of the CDG airport, the grungy and smoke-filled streets of Paris underwhelmed our entire family on our way to Maison Proust. It was so contrary to our mental image of Paris the magnificent and magical city of lights, that we had always read about —- but all that changed the moment we walked into Masion Proust. Our entire outlook changed- it felt like going into a whole different world. If a hotel were to personify the belle époque spirit of Paris, this would be that hotel. As my daughter best put it “this is how Paris is supposed to look like”. This hotel did not underdeliver on our high expectations from our first impressions, from the wonderful wonderful staff and of course, the magnificent pool, this hotel is something that should be thought of when people think about the glamour and beauty of Paris, of a golden age that is largely gone but lives on in Maison Proust.

Fantastic Location. Very beautiful decoration with unique fabrics and wall papers all over the place. the staff was super polite and helpful. the Spa facilities were fantastic considering this is a boutique city hotel. It was nice that there was always a discreet jazz music at the back in communal areas making our stay more relaxing. the bar offers well crafted cocktails.

Good location, right next to the Marais but in a more relaxed and quiet neighbourhood, walking distance from centre Pompidou, Louvre, Notre Dame,... The hotel is brand new. You should have a look at the pictures to see if the hotel style suits your taste, it is definitely not a minimalistic interior... The staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to offer the best experience. Breakfast was very nice. The room is of course small (Paris...) but with quality materials. The major surprise was the pool/hamam area, which you can reserve for private use for an hour (definitely a recommendation, although I wouldn't have thought so in the center of Paris).

If there were a seven star rating on Booking.com, I would give Maison Proust Hotel & Spa La Mer seven stars! This is truly one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in, and the staff were so friendly and courteous! The interior design, by Jacques Garcia, is exquisite, with beautiful, original art chosen by the owners. But what puts this hotel over the top is the private pool and steam room. Each guest may book the pool for one hour a day to themselves in this beautiful, Moroccan-themed spa! When I arrived, I was stressed-out and over-worked; one hour at this pool and my stress melted away. Though the rooms are small, they are beautifully designed, quiet, and so nicely arranged. The bed was so comfortable and the staff delivered our breakfast in bed each morning on request. The room service menu does not disappoint, and the cocktails are so delicious in the beautiful bar. I have stayed at the Ritz, Paris and some of the best hotels all over the world. I would rate Maison Proust Hotel & Spa La Mer one of the very best. I have found my favorite hotel, and it will be my top choice whenever I am in Paris!

The staff was incredibly kind. They went above and beyond to take care if all of our needs. The hammam after a long day of shopping museums and walking around the city is a must!! The owner was there everyday always making sure we enjoyed our stay and were well taken care of. Its so lovely to stay in a small and chic hotel where you can see that the owner cares so deeply and looks after the smallest but most important details. I have never left a review before but they were so kind and lovely to me and my teenage kids I will stay every time I come to Paris.
