The Montalembert has a long standing tradition as the meeting point for the literary and publishing community, and rightly so. From the moment you enter this very left-bank hotel, you will be seduced by the décor: oversized couches accented with engraved bronze lamps guide you to the reception where you will be warmly welcomed. The hotel features a landscaped terrace for a cocktail, an exclusive library with fireplace in which to find a moment of calm, and all of the latest technology. Designed by master of her trade, Grace Leo-Andrieu, everything is impeccably layed out, from the intimate lighting that helps draw out the hotel color schemes of tobaccos, prunes, lilacs, and shades of blues and greys, to the fresh flowers throughout the hotel. The hotel plays with woods, glass, and metal to create a highly balanced mood. The hotel Montalembert oozes class. Pure left bank.
