Hôtel Sofitel Le Scribe Paris Opéra

The hotel hosted the first projection by the Lumière brothers, and the Jockey Club met here; the hotel counts itself among the legends of the Opéra district. The present look belongs to one hand: interior designer Tristan Auer designed the hotel in its entirety.

The Opéra Garnier lies 200 metres away, a two-minute walk, and Opéra metro station is just as close. Galeries Lafayette, Printemps and place Vendôme are a few minutes on foot, which makes the hotel a practical base for shopping. The Jardin du Palais Royal is 1 km away, and the Louvre is less than 20 minutes on foot or by metro.

Entry-level Chambres Supérieures measure 20 m² with a queen-size bed and courtyard view. Luxury rooms (25 m²) and Luxury Premium rooms (27 m²) look over the courtyard or Rue Scribe and come with a queen-size bed or two singles; the Luxury category includes an accessible version. Junior Suites of 35 m² sleep four, with a sofa bed and a Rue Scribe view; the 38 m² Junior Suite Duplex adds a separate sitting area and a balcony or duplex layout, while the 40 m² Suite Junior Premium faces courtyard or street.

The 40 m² Suite Lune de Miel has a round bed, a sitting area, a signature bathtub and a boulevard view. The Suite Prestige offers 50 m² with a separate living room over Rue Scribe; the 55 m² Suite Prestige Terrasse adds a large sixth-floor terrace above the courtyard. The Suite Opéra (75 m²) has a desk and views of both boulevard and Rue Scribe.

For families and longer stays, the Suite Famille Opéra spreads over 100 m² with two bedrooms and a large living room. The Suite Opéra Duplex (95 m²) has a balcony over the boulevard or Rue Scribe, and the two-bedroom Appartement Scribe reaches 120 m² with a balcony and large living room.

The bistronomic restaurant, led by chef Florian Ollivier, serves homemade dishes beneath a glass roof, built on fresh produce and French culinary expertise. The bar has a semi-circular counter, live music and afterwork chic. Scribe & Cie., a boutique and Parisian café, opens from early morning for coffee, tea and pastries, and the hotel offers a brunch that can be reserved.

The sixth floor offers a hammam and massage services. The fitness centre is bright and air-conditioned, fitted with modern cardio and weight-training machines. Runners have the Jardin des Tuileries and the quais de Paris within 15 minutes of the hotel.
