The Most Beautiful Luxury Hotels in the 16th Arrondissement

Exclusively residential yet full of hidden gems, Paris’s 16th arrondissement boasts a wealth of cultural hotspots – Musée Galliera, Cité de l’Architecture, Musée d’Art Moderne, Fondation Vuitton – alongside diverse restaurants, the Bois de Boulogne… and some of the city’s most stunning luxury hotels.

It took bold vision to transform a former postal sorting center in a quiet residential neighborhood into a 5-star hotel—and one of the most hype addresses in Paris. “It’s an unusual place that invites exploration and travel,” says prolific designer Philippe Starck, whose signature style shines throughout. Across 59 rooms, including 7 suites with breathtaking terraces overlooking the Eiffel Tower, as well as in the common areas, eclectic shelves display African totems, books, and engravings. Noble materials dominate: rosewood, raw marble, and mirrors scattered throughout. The restaurant – bar and tea lounge in one – welcomes guests from breakfast through late-night drinks. Chef Adam Bentalha’s menu celebrates Mediterranean flavors. Come sunny days, the rooftop becomes the place to be in Paris.

The plus : a vast underground sports club where the pool stretches 22 meters long, plus a 6x6m hot pool ideal for aqua yoga and aqua Pilates. Group classes and personal coaching are available. At the spa by Clarins and Precious by Clarins, don’t miss the new Clarins Precious treatment combining signature Clarins techniques with Asian massage rituals. No wonder it ranks among the most beautiful hotels in Paris 16.

The legendary Molitor pool opened in 1929, inaugurated by Olympic swimmer and actor Johnny Weissmuller.

Art Deco inspirations define the décor. Since September 2025, Molitor Jardin d’Hiver restaurant has settled poolside.
