Le Roch Hôtel & Spa | Sarah Lavoine

Nestled in the heart of Paris a new address that embodies Parisian style: Le Roch Hotel & Spa. Ideally located a short walk from the Garnier Opera and Tuileries Gardens, removed from the hustle and bustle of the Saint- Honoré neighborhood, Le Roch Hotel & Spa is the new intimate place to be on Rue Saint-Roch. A member of Design Hotels and the Compagnie Hôtelière de Bagatelle’s latest addition, Le Roch Hotel & Spa has become the preferred destination for travellers who want to enjoy an authentic Parisian experience, as if it were a perfect getaway to your home away from home.

Le Roch Hotel & Spa promises you some time out in an elegant and quiet setting, with a restaurant offering a menu developed by the young, Chef Arnaud Faye, - 2 stars in the Michelin guide and 4 toques in the 2016 Gault et Millau. A bar, a sunny terrace, an indoor pool which benefits from natural daylight - an original feature in the heart of Paris - and a CODAGE space with a tailored treatment list (opening in autumn 2016).

Located at 28 Rue Saint-Roch – Le Roch Hotel & Spa offers the perfect departure point for visiting the most beautiful sites of Paris on foot! It lies at the crossroads between the effervescent cultural life of the surrounding museums (the Jeu de Paume, the Louvre and the Comédie Française), the frenzy of Rue Saint- Honoré, the most coveted shopping street in the world, and the more hushed atmosphere of Place Vendôme as well as the gourmet ambience of the restaurants scattered around Place du Marché Saint- Honoré. A stay at Le Roch Hotel & Spa offers the perfect opportunity to feel the city’s vibrations at the center of where life is in full swing, and benefit from the experience of a peaceful hotel where the luxurious facilities have no equal other than the warmth of the interior design by Sarah Lavoine. Here the boutique hotel concept is redefined: without ostentation and in a human-sized place, where everything is done to make the experience at Le Roch Hotel & Spa an unforgettable one.

It is not by chance that Sarah Lavoine – an icon of Parisian style - was invited to design this 5-star boutique hotel. A talented interior designer internationally famous for her expertise with color, Sarah Lavoine knows the Saint-Honoré neighborhood better than anyone else. It is here that she set up her family home, her office and her first store. Therefore, it is only natural that she knew how to share her vision in this project for the perfect Parisian home in the heart of the neighborhood that has always been a source of inspiration for her. For Le Roch Hotel & Spa, her first hotel project, her challenge was to introduce into each detail her idea of comfort and to embody Parisian style in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. To that end, she has imagined Le Roch Hotel & Spa as a private apartment, translating her vision of hospitality by bringing together materials, colors, motifs and all the small details that you want to find after returning home from a long journey. Sarah Lavoine has designed Le Roch Hotel & Spa’s spaces to create an elegant and welcoming place, playing with the effect of the soft natural light on the deep colors that have become her signature: black contrasting with soft pastel shades, the Sarah Blue and a luminous dotted brick red.

The tone is set as soon as you cross the threshold. Guests are welcomed in a warm and private atmosphere. Here, Sarah Lavoine leads us into a world apart: an atmosphere of deep and bold colors, meticulous tailored design furniture, warm and natural materials. The library is a quiet place for relaxing, where conversations are held in soft voices. Books and decorations add a touch of life and invite guests to settle down there or in the lounge. In contrast with the blacks and blues of the first part of the hotel, daylight is invited into the following space which houses the bar and the restaurant, thanks to the veranda which provides access to the garden, a place where you can enjoy a break in a natural setting and take some time out from urban life. The bar, the atmosphere of which is modulated by brass lamps, a signature mark of Sarah Lavoine, offers a tailored cocktail menu, Champagnes and exceptional wines. Adjacent to this space is the restaurant. With a concentric layout around a large marble buffet, the navy blue benches along the walls provide generous seats for guests where they can savor the seasonal menu. The restaurant offers a stylish and relaxed atmosphere. With a menu comprising fresh local produce, Arnaud Faye intends to introduce diners to original products and forgotten flavors. Vegetablebased dishes and good quality French ingredients for getting away from it all for a few hours and sharing an authentic experience in the heart of Paris.

The very bright rooms and suites have been designed as typical small Parisian apartments. 32 rooms and 5 suites offer generous surface areas from 20 to 47 m2, and the Saint-Roch suite with its private terrace offers a vast living space just like a private residence in the heart of the hotel. The suites are equipped with a private steam room for unequalled moments of relaxation and well-being, and some of them have large dressing rooms so that you can get ready comfortably. Each suite and room offers a subtle combination of elegance and timeless contemporary style. In the bathrooms, the Moroccan zellige decoration offers a change of scenery and an atmosphere of relaxation. In the bedroom, a comfortable headboard in two-tone fabric has been specially designed by Sarah Lavoine. A ceramic composition of grains of rice by the Maison Jars decorates the walls and sets the style for the space. Maison Sarah Lavoine mirrors in precious wood enlarge the perspectives and reflect the shifting light of the light fittings also designed by the creator of the place. On the floor, the solid walnut parquet flooring is covered by a rug designed by Sarah Lavoine and created by Chevalier Éditions. The velvet curtains in warm colors decorate the bedroom; letting a delicate light filter through.

To complete the experience of their stay at Le Roch Hotel & Spa, the well-being space allows guests to escape to a haven of peace and quiet devoted to relaxation. The pool, access to which is reserved for Le Roch Hotel & Spa’s guests, is lit by natural daylight, a rare feature for a Parisian hotel. There, it is possible to benefit from a unique experience: swim below a waterfall and access the steam room directly. Covered with black mosaics, which respond to the charcoal grey floor in lava stone, this space offers the same characteristics as the hotel in terms of decoration. Contrary to an immaculate space that suggests an almost clinical environment, Le Roch Hotel & Spa’s pool and steam room opt for an intimate and stylish atmosphere. The gym is the perfect place for working out or for starting your day in a dynamic frame of mind. On request, guests may benefit from advice from a sports coach to help them use the Technogym equipment available to them.
