Molitor Hotel & Spa Paris MGallery Collection

Molitor Paris, a swimming pool turned luxury hotel

"Opened on 19 May 2014 in the well-heeled 16th arrondissement of Paris, this reborn Art Deco landmark has been a hit ever since. After starting life as a swimming pool in the late 1920s and becoming a Mecca of street art in the 1990s when the abandoned extravaganza attracted taggers like bees to honey, it has risen like a phoenix into a place that is both a swimming pool and a luxury hotel, with 124 rooms and suites surrounding the outdoor pool to give the impression of being on board an ocean liner. In this vein, it also boasts a brasserie, a bar, a rooftop restaurant, and a 1,700m² Spa by Clarins with private treatment cabins, a hammam, a sauna, a tea room, and a reading room, while the Molitor Club offers sporting facilities, group sessions, and cultural events all year round." - The MICHELIN Guide
