Castille Paris Île de France Hotel

Castille Paris Île de France Hotel

It’s good to be number one, but even better to be in Paris’ storied 1st Arrondissement. Castille Paris enjoys neighborly relations with some of the most elite fashion houses of Paris. And, really, so should you. The rhythmic sounds of high heels are sharply audible throughout the day on Rue Cambon, the very street where Coco Chanel launched her first atelier. Today, you don’t have to be a fashion originator to make a home here (although it helps if you want to blend in); instead, merely check in at Castille Paris.

Castille Paris traces its heritage back to the 18th century, when it was used as a private residence. Perhaps, then, is why the hotel still feels so utterly welcoming. 86 rooms and 21 duplex rooms and suites are available in two themes: contemporary, or classic Venetian. Most rooms overlook the patio, with some boasting outdoor balconies of their own. 18th- and 19th-century art is hung here and there, and Carrara marble bathrooms are made even more luxurious with Bulgari bath items.
