"On the Left Bank in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia is the only hotel with a Palace distinction (France’s highest designation above five stars) south of the River Seine. Built in 1910 in the art nouveau style, the property has hosted everyone from Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway to Josephine Baker, who used it as her Parisian pied-à-terre. It was beautifully refreshed by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte in recent years, with calming navy and beige tones and plenty of natural light." - Lindsey Tramuta
"As the Left Bank’s grande dame since 1910, the hotel blends an Art Nouveau façade with a brasserie that’s one of the best people‑watching spots from its outdoor terrace; Bar Joséphine serves excellent cocktails beneath an original frescoed ceiling, and there’s a subterranean spa and pool for guest wellness." - The MICHELIN Guide
"At the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia Paris, celebrating its 115th anniversary, pastry chef Nicolas Guercio reimagined the traditional yule log as a copper‑toned white‑chocolate dome emblazoned with lithophane motifs of Paris, perched on a grapefruit biscuit infused with flavors like Nepalese black tea and topped with smooth Tahitian vanilla mousse." - Lane Nieset
"Housed in a Belle Époque grande dame opened in 1910 to serve affluent shoppers arriving via Gare d'Orsay, the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia now offers 184 richly ornate guest rooms and suites, a spa with a pool and multiple restaurants, combining historical grandeur with the full-service comforts of a Left Bank palace." - Annick Weber
"With a storied bohemian past that hosted Samuel Beckett, Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce and later served as a jazz hub frequented by Miles Davis, the Lutetia reopened after a four-year renovation in 2018 and joined the Mandarin Oriental group in 2025; I found its original art-nouveau–meets–art-deco shell now frames 184 rooms and suites finished in dark wood, handblown Murano glass and Carrara marble. The seven signature suites (including two penthouses) offer private balconies and 360-degree views, while Bar Josephine and the glass-roofed Le Saint-Germain salon with its courtyard provide chic social spaces. The 7,500-square-foot Akasha Spa (pool, gym, six treatment rooms) offers exclusive myBlend facials, and I also noted the hotel’s Green Globe sustainability certification with in-room smart sensors and water-flow reducers." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin
