Madame Rêve
Above the Rooftops of Paris: Discover Madame Rêve, a 5-Star Luxury Hotel
For travellers seeking a glamorous Parisian escape with a touch of modern fantasy, Madame Rêve is your dream realised. Housed in the grand, historic Louvre Post Office in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, this five-star luxury hotel in Paris is a bold and beautiful expression of Parisian chic, just steps from the Jardin du Palais-Royal, the Seine, and the shops of Rue Saint-Honoré. Art lovers can stroll to the Louvre or explore the nearby Musée d’Orsay—though once you check in, you may never want to leave.
Inside, Madame Rêve reveals a world of bold design, world-class dining, and elevated indulgence. The 83 rooms and suites—many with rare Paris-facing terraces—are rich in warm wood, golden light, and custom interiors. The rooftop, a lush 1,000 m² hanging garden, offers perhaps the most cinematic view in the city: Saint-Eustache, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame in one dazzling panorama. By day, it’s a serene oasis; by night, a destination rooftop bar in Paris for those in the know.
Elegant Rooms & Suites in a Paris Rooftop Hotel
Described as a hotel both "in the centre and in the sky”, Madame Rêve surprises from the moment you arrive. A discreet entrance on Rue du Louvre opens into a soaring lobby that hints at the scale and drama within. Three floors up, the guest rooms and suites sit beneath a vast glass roof, many opening onto private terraces—a luxury rarely found in central Paris.
Rooms are dressed in rich walnut and oak, velvet drapes, and bespoke furnishings designed by visionary Laurent Taïeb. Inspired by a palette of gold, amber, and marble, the interiors balance classic French elegance with contemporary flair. The experience is cocooning, tactile, and deeply luxurious. Art lovers will appreciate original works by Inès Longevial and Mail Art installations curated from a private collection.
Laurent Taïeb commented, “I wanted to avoid the familiar, the compartmentalisation between generations and styles. At a time when social networks are making people lonelier than ever, Madame Rêve seeks to bring people together. The quality of the materials and the spectacular view of Paris should not make this place inaccessible. We must respect people and nature. The restaurants, rooftop and sky bar will all be entirely eco-responsible.”
The Best Rooftop Bar in Paris: ROOF at Madame Rêve
The hotel’s crowning glory is its 1,000 m² rooftop garden, known simply as ROOF. Open to guests during the day and the public from late afternoon, it is without question one of the city’s most spectacular summer destinations. From its elevated vantage point, ROOF offers uninterrupted views over Paris’s rooftops, with icons like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame framed perfectly by greenery and sky.
Lined with cherry trees and lush foliage, this rooftop is a true urban Eden. By day, it’s a peaceful escape to read, sip a coffee, or simply take in the view. By night, it transforms into a lively rooftop bar with cocktails and finger food, attracting a stylish crowd looking to toast the city in golden-hour light. In summer, it captures that rare Parisian magic where the air is warm, the sky blushes pink, and life feels cinematic.
Design That Tells a Story
Every corner of Madame Rêve is infused with narrative. Taïeb’s vision was to create a modern-day fairy tale—a space that celebrates craftsmanship, artistry, and emotion. From the chandeliers inspired by Josef Hoffmann to the custom marble bar at La Plume, each detail tells a story of French heritage reimagined for a new era.
Art is everywhere: Olivier Masmonteil’s frescoes, ceramic sculptures by Claire Lindner, and Jacques Villeglé’s monumental typographic entrance work. Even scent plays a part, with Olivia Giacobetti’s bespoke hotel fragrance layering notes of varnished wood, paper, and rose.
Dining with Style in the Heart of Paris
Food lovers will find two exceptional restaurants under the Madame Rêve roof.
Kitchen is the heart of the hotel—a grand café-style restaurant with 8-meter-high ceilings, dramatic chandeliers, and plush velvet furnishings. It serves French contemporary cuisine all day, offering a relaxed yet refined atmosphere for breakfast, brunch, or late-night bites.
On the top floor, La Plume delivers a panoramic dining experience where East meets West. Chef Benjamin Six, formerly of Zuma London and Dubai, creates globally inspired dishes with local elegance. With its curved marble bar and views over Saint-Eustache and beyond, dining here feels like floating above the city.
Wellness, Reimagined
For those seeking repose, the hotel’s wellness area offers serene beauty cabins, a fitness suite, and a sauna overlooking the Paris rooftops. Open from early morning to late evening, it is a space designed for stillness and renewal amid the urban rhythm.
A New Kind of Luxury Hotel in Paris
Madame Rêve is more than a five-star hotel—it is a philosophy of living. Laurent Taïeb has crafted a place that is as much for Parisians as it is for global travellers, blending heritage and innovation, opulence and accessibility. With its rooftop garden, artistic soul, and a deep respect for the environment, it offers a fresh, forward-thinking vision of luxury in the City of Light.
Whether you're arriving for a romantic Paris getaway, a solo retreat, or simply to see Paris from a new angle, Madame Rêve promises a stay you won't forget—and a view you'll remember forever.
