Just
a few minutes from the Champs-Elysées, this hotel exudes
the atmosphere of a French chateau in the heart of Paris. Spacious
bedrooms, library bar, restaurant, winter garden, summer terrace
and fitness club: the Saint James offers the exceptional luxury
of a chateau-hotel.
The building that
was to become the Saint James Paris was built in 1892, as a
memorial to Adolphe Thiers, President of the French Republic.
Constructed on the site of Paris's first aerodrome from where
hot hair ballons flew, it housed the Thiers Foundation, a residence
for France's best students.
In 1986 the neo-classical
building was bought by a british businessman who turned it into
a traditional London gentleman's club.
Purchased by a French
family in the early 1990s, it was converted into a luxury residential
hotel.
Set in the tranquility of the executive west part of the capital,
the Saint James is not just the only château-hotel in
Paris, but also one of the very few with its own private garden.
In addition to all
the services of a grand hotel, it offers very fine gourmet food
for resident and club members only.
In a magnificient
setting, its conference rooms, listed library and health club
offer facilities for work and relaxation, making it the ideal
place to stay for business or pleasure.
