Why you should experience Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées in Paris, France.
Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées is a seductive boutique hotel where Champs-Élysées's cosmopolitan glamour, Haussmannian inheritance, fashion-conscious refinement and enduring culture of private Parisian luxury converge inside Anouska Hempel's first hotel project in France.
Set along Rue Washington near Rue Chateaubriand and just steps from Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the hotel occupies a six-story Haussmannian building whose former apartments became offices before HN6 Active acquired the property in 2016 and commissioned Hempel to reinvent it as a 46-room hotel. Hempel composed the interiors through deep greens, black lacquer, mirrors, zellige, velvet, pale woods and carefully controlled lighting, while balconies, skylights, garden-facing rooms and an attic level create changing residential atmospheres throughout the building. Galanga opens toward a planted courtyard, a mirrored cocktail bar extends the theatrical interior language, and vaulted cellars below street level contain the spa, sauna, hammam and fitness room. The result is a hotel where Hempel's intensely authored interiors, intimate scale and layers of private Parisian history turn a Rue Washington townhouse into a sophisticated counterpoint to the grandeur of the Champs-Élysées.
What you should know about Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées.
Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées is best known for opening in 2020 after HN6 Active, the holding company created by brothers Hubert and Nicolas Saltiel, acquired the six-story Rue Washington building in 2016 and commissioned British designer Anouska Hempel to transform former apartments and offices into a 46-room five-star hotel. The commission marked Hempel's first hotel in France more than four decades after she created Blakes in South Kensington in 1978, the London property widely associated with the emergence of boutique hospitality, and placed her design language inside a Haussmannian building carrying its own cultural history through French actor Raimu, who lived there from 1934 until his death in 1946. Hempel organized the 46-room inventory through changing atmospheres across successive floors, culminating in pale attic accommodations overlooking Paris and contrasting with darker rooms below, while garden rooms, balconies, skylights and a duplex garden suite exploit the building's irregular residential configuration. Galanga opened under Chef Thomas Danigo on March 3, 2020 before closing two weeks later during the Covid-19 shutdown, reopened in 2021 with an increasingly gastronomic format, and earned its first MICHELIN Star in 2024 after Danigo developed five- and seven-course tasting menus for 30 diners per service. MICHELIN extended that recognition beyond the restaurant in April 2024 by awarding Monsieur George one MICHELIN Key in the inaugural French hotel selection, placing Hempel's 46-room project among the Paris properties recognized for architecture, design, service, character and sense of place.
Florian Gravelle assumed leadership of Galanga in 2025 after working with Francis Chauveau at Les Pêcheurs at Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel, continuing the restaurant's MICHELIN-starred program through Mediterranean and marine flavors, vegetables, spices and menus structured in three, five or seven stages. Chapitre Six, founded by Nicolas Saltiel, now positions Monsieur George within a collection extending across Paris, Saint-Tropez, Cap d'Antibes, Barbizon and Megève, connecting the original HN6 Active development with a broader independent hospitality portfolio. Spa by EÏA develops another chapter beneath Hempel's interiors inside the building's former vaulted cellars, combining EÏA treatments and SCENS products with a sauna, hammam and fitness room whose equipment includes bicycles, treadmills and weights. Together, Anouska Hempel, Florian Gravelle, Nicolas Saltiel and EÏA continue the creative structure established in 2020, allowing design, gastronomy and wellness to evolve while the building's intimate 46-room scale remains central to Monsieur George's identity.
How to fold Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées into your trip.
Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing fashion, decorative craftsmanship and collecting culture across the western Right Bank.
Begin at Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, occupying the former couture house at 5 Avenue Marceau where Yves Saint Laurent worked for nearly three decades and where preserved studio spaces place the designer's creative process within the rooms that produced his collections. Continue to Petit Palais, designed by Charles Girault for the 1900 Exposition Universelle, where the City of Paris's fine-arts collections unfold around an internal garden beneath an architecture of stone, iron, mosaics, painted ceilings and expansive glazing. Conclude at Musée Nissim de Camondo, where René Sergent designed Moïse de Camondo's early twentieth-century residence around an exceptional collection of eighteenth-century French furniture and decorative arts before the house was bequeathed in memory of Camondo's son Nissim. The progression moves from twentieth-century couture through Belle Époque arts patronage into one collector's meticulously composed domestic world, creating a cultural sequence closely aligned with the craftsmanship and residential sophistication defining Monsieur George Hôtel & Spa Champs Elysées.
