A wonderful hotel, lovely neighbourhood - well connected to the city. Fabulous staff. Best hotel I have stayed in in Paris (and we go to Paris often). Cannot wait to return and experience the outside spaced in the early summer. I highly recommend this hotel.
I’ve stayed in many hotels in Paris and this was easily the best. Beautiful property in a bustling local neighborhood with so many cafes and bakeries right on the doorstep. The staff at the hotel were extremely welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for a fabulous stay in Paris!
Absolutely EXCEPTIONAL ! Loved my stay. Wish I was here longer. Beautiful staff, incredibly attentive - beautiful hotel. Couldn’t ask for more. I hope I am able to return soon.
The hotel is brand new and so beautiful but the A/C in our room barely worked. (Could just be a European thing)
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfast on the top floor each morning was exceptional.
Fun but quiet area of Paris as well
Been here multiple times. Love the rooms but first time, air conditioning wasn’t working in summer and they only fixed it two days after. Then this time, our fridge didn’t work, after asking multiple times, was never fixed or replaced out.
Everything about this hotel was excellent. The staff were very friendly and engaged from check in. The rooms were lovely and very clean. The facilities including the gym and the pool were fantastic. The only negative is that the pool was cold!
We had an ace time at La Foundation for my wife's birthday. The staff were really welcoming and helpful and the facilities were excellent. We'll definitely be staying there again next time we're in Paris.
Simply the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Paris. The rooms are spacious and full of light, the service is top notch and super available, the spa is just out of this world. Stay there and you won’t regret it
The property is beautiful and we loved that we had a spacious room (the Executive room), with coffee and creamer. Bed wasn’t amazing but fine. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the underground pool and sauna, steam facilities were really lovely. Almost like a sauna house. Rooftop bar was also great but would benefit from serving food as well as drinks.
I had no expectations when hitting La Foundation
Lobby was gorgeous FO helpful BUT ... they forgot to give lengthy explanation of the biggest facilities - the wellness
Since I stayed one night and I roam in the morning, its hard to navigate the gym spa pool with multiple floor and aloof reception ... which is too bad
Bfast staffs was excellent
The fridge was not cold, too much detail and heavy
No separate light in minibar
Lighting logic could be better i think
For 17th arrond is a gem but to keep up with the hype I think it needs to flow better so people feel its worth the money to pay that in the area.
Gorgeous wellness which is not communicated welll throughout ... too bad and too late for me as i need to leave so early.
Need more love. Thank you
