Star Service "This hotel's location on the western edge of Paris makes it among the most serene and exclusive hotels in town." Full review
Gayot "At this, the only chateau hotel in Paris, the generously proportioned 48 rooms and suites are decorated in a low-key 1930s style with flowers, plants and bathrooms clad in gray mosaic tile."
BlackBook "A half-French, half-American named Bambi Sloan takes credit for interior design of clashing striped-on-floral funk and hot-air balloon wallpaper that somehow works dazzlingly."
Condé Nast Traveler "Forty-eight delightfully renovated rooms and suites in a garden-surrounded neoclassical mansion built in 1892 in the elegant sixteenth arrondissement." Full review
