The Sax Paris Hotel Has Immaculate Views of the Eiffel Tower

"The main attraction here, however, is the unparalleled direct view of the Eiffel tower, not to mention Les Invalide, Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre, and even a hint of Notre Dame. The already hard-to-book, Parisian hotspot Kinugawa Rive Gauche restaurant frames this 270-degree perspective with its wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows. On offer, a fusion of French and Japanese classics. The space is cast in a clever interplay of raw composite materials and polished metal finishes."

"Karine Journo - wife of CDP founder Philippe Journo - enacted a comprehensive interior outfit that's pared-back yet textured, urban yet coastal, dramatically dark yet iridescent, but perhaps most importantly, reflective of its surroundings: the rich cultural pedigree of the 7th Arrondissement. It isn't just the soaring and champagne sparkle-lit Eiffel Tower straight down the sightline of Avenue Saxe but also the Rodin Museum and the myriad art and design galleries that populate the part of town just to the north."

Paris's boutique hotel concentration has historically favored the Right Bank, with limited offerings on the Left Bank. Sax Paris opened as a 118-key ultra-luxury property managed by LXR Hotels & Resorts and developed by Compagnie de Phalsbourg, occupying a late 19th-century Neo-Gothic telecommunications building. The hotel includes a 16-foot heated outdoor pool and diverse hard and soft amenities. The property delivers direct, sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower and other Parisian landmarks. Kinugawa Rive Gauche offers a French-Japanese fusion menu framed by wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows. Interiors by Karine Journo reference the cultural pedigree of the 7th Arrondissement.
