"Set behind a stone-gated driveway and landscaped gardens in the 16th arrondissement, this family-owned château-hotel feels like a bucolic private estate with just 50 rooms (renovated in 2021 by Laura Gonzalez to resemble a collector’s home), a Guerlain spa and pool, a wood-paneled library bar with seasonally sourced cocktails, and a Michelin-starred Bellefeuille restaurant whose chef, Grégory Garimbay, emphasizes seasonal organic ingredients grown in the hotel’s Fontainebleau vegetable garden—an offering that underlines the property’s Old World vibe, sustainability focus and joie de vivre on the plate." - Mary Winston Nicklin, Lindsey Tramuta

"Set in a neoclassical former private residence and surrounded by a sizable structural garden, Paris’s only château-hotel underwent a radical decorative transformation last year—courtesy of Laura Gonzalez, who made it feel like a one-of-a-kind Parisian home once again. The 50 rooms and suites are perfect examples of Gonzalez’s maximalist design style: Think nature-inspired wallpapers, ornate moldings, and plush fabrics in mixed colors and textures. The wellness program also got a total reboot and was relaunched in 2021 as a three-room Guerlain spa, with large vaulted spaces, a stone staircase, and an aesthetic reminiscent of Greco-Roman thermal baths." - Sandra Ramani, Lindsey Tramuta

"I found Saint James Paris in the 16th to be an absolute haven — a calm counterpoint to the bustling city — and its Michelin-starred restaurant Bellefuille is not to be missed whether you’re a guest or not." - Elise Taylor
"Room Number 311, one of eight prestige suites at the Saint James Paris, is a masterful French designer’s dreamscape with a winter garden, sun streaming in through the glass roof, and a design scheme intended by star designer Laura Gonzalez to feel like a time machine through centuries of French design. The Saint James is the only honest-to-god château hotel in the city, and was once the enviable dorm space for university students on special scholarship. The hotel features a Michelin-Starred restaurant, Bellefeuille, and a dazzling 'Chanel' staircase reminiscent of Coco Chanel’s studio. Guests can book a prestige suite and request the piano suite, or choose from other remarkable rooms or four fully serviced luxury apartments in a villa next door." - The MICHELIN Guide
