Located in the heart of Paris in the second arrondissement, Hotel Square Louvois is the ideal spot for any traveler looking to unwind with a bit of luxury. A four-star hotel, Square Louvois’s regal, mid-century mod decor is refined yet welcoming. Dark blues, smoky grays, and golds are the colors of choice, furthering the feeling that you are a world away from the city and entering an impermeable oasis.

Expect mid-century modern stylings with minimalist decor. Nothing is overdone, it’s just simple luxuries. Eggs, baguette, cheese and charcuterie, fruit, yogurt, viennoiseries and more are served in the lounge until 11 a.m. In the afternoon, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. when most people like to return to their hotel for a nap or to change clothes before dinner, guests will find tea, coffee drinks, viennoiseries, jams, and more. For those fearing the absence of a bar in the hotel, wine is for sale in a fridge in the lobby.

On the below-ground floor, a small pool lined with water jets, awaits you in a cave-like room with dim lighting and uneven stone walls. Beside the pool is an antechamber of comfy chairs, towels, and machine for making tea. A small gym is there as well, and spa services are available upon request. There’s also a library on the ground floor where you can borrow books or do work.

Just a few minutes from the Metro, the Palais Royale and the Louvre, Hotel Square Louvois is on a quiet street at the heart of a neighborhood full of East Asian cuisine, plus a variety of new era French restaurants.

From the central attractions like the pool, tea room and tea time to the small details like the books you can borrow and the bottles of wine for sale in the lobby so you don’t have to go to the wine store, Hotel Square Louvois will be the sigh of relief and oasis of peace you need before your next big Parisian adventure.
