What’s Paris without a little sightseeing? While staying at Hotel Castille, you’ll be a five-minute walk away from some of the most famous attractions Paris has to offer – Jardins des Tuileries, Paris by Tuktuk, Musee du Parfum, and the Louvre, just to name a few. World-class restaurants like Sur Mesure par Thierry Marx and Le Baudelaire are in close proximity to the hotel if you’re ever in need of a little pick me up.

Since you’ll be in the center of the most luxurious and absorbing neighborhood in Paris, be prepared to allow for a little spontaneity in your itinerary – we’re sure you will find many more sights, restaurants, stores, and other places of interest that will catch your attention.

Style and Character

Masterfully combining contemporary French glamour with classical Italian flairs, Hotel Castille oozes quiet elegance and luxury. The Mediterranean inspiration is most prevalent in the dining area – the Italian restaurant located on the property, with its big fountains, lantern ambiance, and wall art, is reminiscent of what you’d find in a catalog for Rome. Mainly relying on warm colors and tasteful pops of pastels, the splendid choice of tone matches the rest of Paris – romantic, soothing, and palatial. 

Upon entering the hotel, you will be met with a spacious lobby that has floor-to-ceiling windows from where you can enjoy a scenic view of the hotel’s architecture.
