Hidden behind an ornate wrought-iron door lies a secluded bolthole that travellers can escape to after a day exploring the buzzy boulevards of Paris. Tucked away on Île Saint-Louis — a natural island in the River Seine dating back to the 17th century — the Hollmann apartment is located in the 4th arrondissement, a charming district that’s home to narrow streets lined with medieval buildings.
Sitting in the shadow of Notre-Dame, the chic apartment is a short walk from numerous Parisian icons, from the historic Bastille to the Pompidou Centre, an architecturally innovative ‘inside-out’ gallery famed for hosting exhibitions of cutting-edge art. Some of the city’s most stylish shops can be found on the apartment’s doorstep, or guests can head over the Seine to discover Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés or the Quartier Latin. After a day exploring the area, foodies should hotfoot it to the Lower Marais district, an old-world pocket of lively bars and top-flight restaurants, dishing out everything from classic crêpes to French bistro favourites with a modern twist or wine-and-cheese pairings, often served, in the Parisian style, around large communal tables.
Sleeping up to six guests, the apartment has been completely renovated by Hollmann, which operates a handful of exclusive hotels and apartments across Europe and Asia. Flooding interiors with natural light, floor-length French windows in the living area look out onto the city’s iconic river, while a TV, DVD player, hi-fi and a low-slung sofa welcome weary travellers after a long day of browsing boutiques and strolling past all the sights.
Each of the three spacious double bedrooms features glass doors opening onto the inner 172sq ft courtyard — the perfect spot to sip on a café au lait. Two luxurious bathrooms with bathtubs and showers plus a fully equipped kitchen complete the picture.
A relaxing stay in Hollmann’s stylish apartment is the finest way to experience the magnificent French capital, enabling travellers to live like a local, with all the comforts of home, while enjoying la vie Parisienne.
