Hotel Hana
Named for a flower, Hotel Hana is a five-star hotel in Paris's 2nd arrondissement with Japanese-inspired, minimalist rooms, a cocktail bar and a private pool that guests can reserve, a short walk from the Opéra.
The story
The hotel sits in the La Bourse quarter, within walking distance of the Opéra Garnier, the Louvre, the Jardin des Tuileries and Place Vendôme, and it appears in the Michelin Guide. Calm in the middle of the city is the stated aim. Rooms are compact but cleverly laid out, with clean lines, soft textures, natural light and Diptyque bath products. Some have balconies, and the two rooms on the seventh floor are especially quiet. The reception area doubles as a bar, where bartenders mix their own new cocktails at the counter for guests and passers-by alike. Breakfast is served, the matcha is worth ordering, and a pool can be booked for private use. The surrounding streets are full of Japanese restaurants, fitting for a hotel with such a strong Japanese design sensibility.
Good to know
TAGGG AI- ✦Reserve the private pool in person at reception rather than through WhatsApp to avoid booking mix-ups.
- ✦Ask for a higher floor: seventh-floor rooms are very quiet, while lower floors can pick up street and metro noise.
- ✦Take a seat at the bar counter to watch the bartenders make cocktails; non-guests drop in too.
