Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts has opened its doors, marking the brand’s debut in France.
Owned and developed by French real estate company Compagnie de Phalsbourg, the 118-room property is located in Paris’s 7th arrondissement and housed in a historic neo-Gothic building, boasting panoramic rooftop views.
Sax Paris transforms the landmark 1899 building, formerly home to the Ségur telephone exchange, into a refined gathering place where travellers and Parisians come together to experience the authentic lifestyle of the renowned Rive Gauche (Left Bank).
Designed to capture the spirit of the 7th arrondissement, the hotel invites guests to relax and soak up its elegant atmosphere. Sax Paris offers contemporary rooms and suites, two distinctive restaurants, a stylish cocktail bar, and versatile event spaces. Guests can relax in the outdoor pool and garden, while the fitness and spa club provide a luxurious retreat.
The hotel’s design studio, led by Karine Journo, reinterprets Left Bank sophistication through a modern lens, uniting talented artists, decorators, and designers. Guests are welcomed via The Galerie, a vibrant social hub adorned with 200 mirrors and Baccarat chandeliers.
Beyond the gallery lies the SAX Garden, a city centre oasis designed by Studio Ravn, inspired by romantic French-style gardens, and featuring a heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi.
Sax Paris also showcases creations from renowned contemporary artists, including Arik Levy’s crystal sculpture ‘Rockstone’ at the garden entrance and a restaurant ceiling mural by street artist Sto, referencing the building’s historic République Française insignia.
The 118 guestrooms and suites feature a contemporary design of neutral colours and natural materials, including marble bathrooms and wood panelling. Many offer connecting options for families, while others open onto private terraces.
Three signature suites – The Studio, The Winter Garden Suite, and The Signature Suite – feature in-room cocktail stations. Minibars are stocked with Parisian favourites curated through a partnership with the iconic Le Bon Marché’s La Grande Épicerie de Paris.
“Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts epitomises modern luxury, elevating the guest experience within the beautiful surroundings of this reimagined Parisian landmark,” says Simon Vincent CBE, president, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Hilton.
“As we surpass the milestone of 1,000 operating hotels across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, this latest addition to our portfolio marks our first luxury hotel in the heart of Paris. The opening also symbolises our continued commitment and growing presence in the French market and exemplifies our dedication to delivering unique and exceptional hotels in the world’s most iconic destinations.”
