THE HOXTON, PARIS, Paris

The Hoxton, Paris - An 18th-century residence with spiral staircases, contemporary dining, and a courtyard wine bar

Located in Paris' 2nd arrondissement, The Hoxton occupies an 18th-century residence that once belonged to Etienne Rivié, adviser to Louis XV. The 172-room Paris hotel features original marble floors, spiral staircases, and period details like cornicing and chevron parquet flooring. Rooms range from compact Shoeboxes to spacious Biggys, some offering garden courtyard views and roll-top tubs. The property houses Rivié, an all-day brasserie serving French cuisine with Asian influences, and Jacques Bar, an intimate cocktail venue accessed via an 18th-century spiral staircase. A casual courtyard wine bar specializes in biodynamic and organic wines paired with charcuterie and small plates. L'Appartement provides seven differently sized meeting rooms in barrel-vaulted spaces. The Hoxton, Paris stands 10 minutes from Chatelet - Les Halles and 5 minutes from Bonne Nouvelle metro station.
