La Fantaisie, Paris
Whimsical design and a lush courtyard garden in the 9th.
La Fantaisie is a garden hideaway in Paris's 9th arrondissement, where whimsical design meets a lush courtyard planted like a secret garden. It has a rooftop bar and a spa, and the feeling of a real neighborhood all around it.
A garden hideaway for travelers who like a real neighborhood around them.
Where you’ll be
The 9th sits between the Opéra and Montmartre, with lively streets such as the Rue des Martyrs lined with bakeries, cheese shops and bistros. The grand department stores on Boulevard Haussmann and the Opéra Garnier are a short walk away.
The stay
Rooms are playful and light, many overlooking the garden. The courtyard restaurant feels like a country escape in the middle of the city, and the rooftop bar is perfect for an evening drink with a view over the Paris rooftops.
