The Pool at L'Hotel

"Extravagantly styled and fashionable designer hotel, with twenty sumptuous rooms accessed by a wonderful spiral staircase, and with a tiny pool in the basement"

"A mosaic-paved pool occupies the vaulted cellar"

"Today, the intimate bar and restaurant allows you to mingle with the Parisian beau monde, and an exposed stone grotto holds a countercurrent pool and steam room"

"This legendary hotel has been redecorated by Jacques Garcia, but retains something of its old sense of decadence in the extravagant decor, cellar fumoir and mini ­swimming pool"

"A stunning, modern swimming pool occupies the ancient cellar"

"Don’t miss out on dinner in the fabulously decadent restaurant, run by talented chef Julien Montbabut – or on the hotel’s glorious underground heated swimming pool, which you can reserve by the hour for private relaxation"

"A stone staircase leads to a nice swimming pool"

"The bar is intimate and classy, with live piano three nights a week, and the vaulted basement swimming pool recalls Roman baths"

"L'Hotel has impressive features for such a tiny property, such as an underground spa pool and Michelin-rated restaurant"

"In the basement is a very unusual feature: an underlighted Roman-style heated pool in a stone vault, with a glass door opening to a hammam"
