The latest property to be launched by the
family-owned Leitmotiv hotel group ,
La Fantaisie is designed to be a lush enclave in the center of Paris. The design captures the liveliness of the market street outside and explores the everyday life of the trendy Faubourg Montmartre neighborhood, but without losing sight of the tranquility and greenery of nature.
Historically, Rue Cadet is named after the brothers Jacques and Jean Cadet, renowned 16th-century gardeners who owned the Clos Cadet and supplied the court with fruit and vegetables. At the time, the street was home to farmland.
With its
large landscaped garden , La Fantaisie builds on this heritage to offer a new concept: up above,
a leafy rooftop bar frames panoramic views of Paris and becomes a destination in its own right. Designed as individual havens of peace, the 73
rooms and suites, as well as the spa and various facilities, provide a break from the hustle and bustle of the urban environment outside.
The common areas complement the accommodation as creative and convivial spaces that serve as a gateway to discover this lively area of Paris.
Designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the interiors exude a bucolic charm. The color palette – soft greens, sunny yellows and hints of coral – evokes the natural world , creating a relaxing and comfortable environment. Canopies, umbrellas and outdoor furniture project the warmth of the sun, inviting a relaxing break.
Glass wall lights are reminiscent of petals and foliage, and a mosaic depicts a field of wildflowers and grass in the spa.
The
Golden Poppy restaurant has a laid-back, California-style ambiance. Natural light fills the air, and when the weather is nice, the terrace, which extends into the garden, invites you to take a longer break. Inspired by an old greenhouse, the glass roof connects the restaurant with the natural world outside and the seasons. The kitchen is run by
Dominique Crenn , the first and only chef to receive three Michelin stars in the United States.
The rooftop bar is also a great place to have fun: surrounded by greenery, the space opens onto the legendary tin roofs of Paris , offering a privileged view. A place for socializing, the bar serves delicious cocktails and is a lively, fun and eccentric place to relax.
In the
SPA , several design elements invite nature to flourish: armchairs upholstered with soft green fabric, mosaics represent sprouting plants and pools filled with water reflect the color green.
