Hilton has announced the opening of SAX Paris in the city’s 7th arrondissement. The 118-room property is housed in a historic neo-Gothic building and marks the debut of the LXR Hotels & Resorts brand in France. SAX Paris is owned and developed by Compagnie de Phalsbourg, a French real estate company.
SAX Paris transformed a landmark 1899 building, formerly home to the Ségur telephone exchange, into "a refined gathering place where travelers and Parisians connect, converse and experience the authentic lifestyle" of the Rive Gauche (Left Bank). Nearby as attractions include the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay and Jardin du Luxembourg.
Guests are welcomed via The Galerie, a social hub adorned with 200 mirrors and Baccarat chandeliers. Beyond The Galerie lies the SAX Garden, complete with a heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The hotel’s 118 rooms and suites have contemporary design with elements including marble bathrooms and wood paneling. 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—also come with in-room cocktail stations. Good to know: Minibars are stocked with Parisian favorites curated through a partnership with Le Bon Marché’s La Grande Épicerie de Paris.
SAX Paris also houses several distinctive dining concepts. Restaurant Le SAX is an all-day bar and restaurant serving brunch, lunch and dinner. Additionally, the Kinugawa brand is bringing its Franco-Japanese dining experience to the top of SAX Paris. Kinugawa Rive Gauche, a two-story rooftop restaurant, blends Parisian elegance with Japanese culinary artistry. The cocktail bar reinterprets Parisian classics with Japanese elements such as yuzu and shiso.
The Fitness & Spa SAX Le Club, open 24/7 for hotel guests and members, offers Technogym equipment, a sauna, a hammam and treatment rooms for massages and facials. Designer bicycles and personalized pet-friendly services are also available.
As part of the LXR Hotels & Resorts’ “Pursuit of Adventure” program, guests can explore the essence of the Rive Gauche through specially curated experiences. These include a gourmet picnic with a view of Les Invalides, a behind-the-scenes tour of the Eiffel Tower and a private pontoon cruise on the Seine.
