Hypnotic view, cocktails at the top, bucolic vibes… Here are the most stylish hotel addresses with rooftop where to put down your suitcase (or just your glass) and admire Paris from above.
The most coveted: SO/Paris
A hotel with a crazy view, a trendy restaurant, a spa with pool and rooms suspended between sky and Seine… Welcome to SO/Paris, the rooftop hotel in Paris that bends the game with its perfect mix of design, comfort and wahou effect. From the lobby, the desire to explore is immediate. The ambiance is cutting-edge with works of art that play with the light and elevators that shoot up to the heights. The seventies rooms host king size beds offering a breathtaking view of Notre-Dame and the Eiffel Tower. We hesitate between diving under the duvet and admiring the skyline or rushing to Bonnie, the rooftop restaurant that turns into a trendy club once night falls.

The most palace-like: The Peninsula Paris
This address embodies absolute luxury just steps from the Champs-Élysées. Front row on avenue Kléber, the legendary palace lines up 200 ultra-refined rooms and suites, with high-tech gadgets, cutting-edge home automation and pampering service to live the grand life. An XXL spa to get pampered and a fleet of Rolls-Royce Phantom available to cross Paris like Beyoncé complete the picture. On the gastronomy side, the hotel is well stocked with four exceptional restaurants. Our fav: L’Oiseau Blanc, the starred table of chef David Bizet with a plant-based inspiration, perched on the roof of the palace. And just to enjoy a drink with a breathtaking view, the bar area is open to all and without reservation.

The most bucolic: La Fantaisie
A country-style boutique hotel in the heart of the concrete? It’s the ultra-desirable promise of La Fantaisie, the latest born of the Leitmotiv group that makes the capital vibrate. In the Faubourg Montmartre sector, this jewel imagined by the much-sought-after Martin Brudnizki mixes nature vibes and Parisian elegance. Inside, we fall for floral wallpapers, soft textiles and colors that dress the rooms and suites, true poetic cocoons, with, for some, a private terrace to chill in full privacy. The hotel has a holistic spa in partnership with Holidermie and a lush little garden where one would almost forget they are in full Paris. But the true banger is the rooftop perched on the seventh floor, with breathtaking view on the roofs of Paris and Sacré-Cœur in the background.
The most perched high: TOO Hôtel
It’s the spot that drives night birds crazy. The TOO Hôtel, perched on top of a futuristic tower signed Jean Nouvel, electrifies the 13th arrondissement with its design by Philippe Starck, its trendy atmosphere and its 360° panorama. In the rooms, the beds are downright tilted to better enjoy the show. Highlight of the show: the crazy rooftop, one of the highest in the capital, with a 150 m² terrace. Sharp cocktails, DJ sets and live concerts… the TOO TacTac Skybar imposes itself as the ultimate HQ for sunsets. One can also dine at the panoramic restaurant, set in a huge glass bubble, offering a cosmopolitan and gourmet cuisine.

The most open-air cinema: Hôtel Paradiso
A rooftop where one can sip a cocktail while watching a good movie under the stars? It’s at the Hôtel Paradiso, the cinephiles’ hideout in the 12th arrondissement, that the magic operates. Here, everything revolves around the 7th art, even in the suites equipped with video projectors and XXL screens, where one binge-watches classics snuggled under the duvet, with room service ready to deliver popcorn and gourmet snacks. But the cherry on the reel is the vegetalized rooftop, where the ambiance takes on the air of an open-air festival. Every Sunday evening in summer, it’s time for an outdoor cinema session with a surprise movie to watch glass in hand under a plaid or the last rays of sun.
