PARIS - Finding the right hotel for your needs can be the factor that can make or break any trip. As in other fashion capitals, there is a large choice of luxury hotels all over Paris. If you are only in the city for a short break, staying centrally allows you to spend more time seeing and doing things, and less time in trains, buses or taxis.

Many of the best hotels in Paris are situated in the chic quarters, close to the fashionable Champs-Elysées. Villa & Hotel Majestic, a five-star hotel and luxurious Spa located in the heart of the 16th arrondissement, is a perfect choice even for the most demanding traveller. Elegant and spacious rooms at Villa & Hotel Majestic combine old Parisian style with contemporary art pieces.

HISTORY

Over a century of French history is present at the Majestic Hotel. The hotel was opened in 1907 and initially located at 19 Avenue Kléber. It was later transferred to its present location at Rue La Pérouse. Villa & Hotel Majestic belongs to the Baverez family who are also owners of two other hotels in Paris: Regina and nearby Raphael.

The hotel's exterior was designed by an architect Raluca Urseanu. Beautiful spaces inside the hotel were created by Véronique Valcke, a worthy heir of Baverez family traditions. Trendy furniture and tasteful decoration create a unique mood in each guest room.

LUXURY MEETS RELAXATION

Majestic Villa & Hotel's other great attraction is the 450 square meters beauty and wellness centre, the MAJClub, which features a heated indoor swimming pool, steam rooms and saunas with Moroccan bath ritual, and fully equipped fitness room with gym classes and private coaching available on request.

All facilities are located in a luxury space exuding the quality, aesthetics and performance that are already the Majestic's trademarks. During the week, you may find times when the swimming pool is not very busy and the whole area becomes your private oasis in the heart of Paris.

MAJClub Spa uses specially developed CINQ MONDES cosmetics that are natural (no paraben, silicone, artificial coloring) and dermatologically tested.

LOCATION

The Villa & Hotel Majestic is just a stone's throw from the Arch of Triumph and the Champs-Elysées, in the heart of the 16th arrondissement of Paris.

As its name suggests, it stands majestically tucked away from traffic in a quiet western Paris neighborhood on the Right Bank of the Seine. It's a villa in the heart of the Golden Triangle bounded by the Arch of Triumph, the Champs-Elysées and the Eiffel Tower.
