Built in 1910, Hôtel Lutetia has long stood as a beacon of Left Bank elegance. Over the decades, it has played host to intellectuals, artists, and celebrities—from Picasso to Matisse, Josephine Baker to James Joyce. The property’s Art Nouveau and Art Deco details echo this storied past, creating a layered aesthetic unlike any other in Paris.
Under Mandarin Oriental’s guidance, the soul of Lutetia remains intact, but with renewed purpose. This isn’t a reinvention—it’s a refined continuation. From Brasserie Lutetia, a hallmark of Parisian dining, to the sultry Bar Joséphine, named in honor of the iconic performer and activist, the hotel continues to serve as a dynamic gathering place for both locals and global tastemakers.
For those seeking respite, the Akasha Wellness space offers a sanctuary for body and mind—reflecting Mandarin Oriental’s wellness philosophy with an elegant Parisian twist. And of course, the hotel’s suites—each a study in design, light, and comfort—invite extended stays that feel effortlessly indulgent.
