Location and First Impressions

Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa seems a little plain from the outside. It’s tucked away between a row of similar-looking buildings, blending seamlessly into the cityscape.

Its exterior is unassuming, a modest facade that doesn’t scream ‘luxury hotel.’ I probably wouldn’t look twice at it if I were walking by. It’s a small, unassuming building in the city center.

The inside, however, tells a different story. The decor is quaint, a charming mix of modern and traditional elements that create a cozy atmosphere. The lobby isn’t huge or fancy but welcoming, with warm lighting and comfortable seating. It’s the place that invites you to sit down and relax, to take a moment to unwind after a long journey.

Spa Offerings

Entering the spa area at Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa, I immediately felt a sense of tranquility and relaxation. The atmosphere was perfect for a revitalizing experience. I often book hotels with spas as traveling also warrants relaxation.

One thing that stood out at Le Petit Beaumarchais Hotel & Spa was the selection of offers and treatments. They had carefully curated options to cater to various preferences and needs.

I opted for a massage treatment with an approved practitioner, seeking relief from the stress of my travels. The professional who tended to me seemed to truly understand massage and know how to use the right techniques.

This was evident in the quality of their work, relieving tension in my tightened muscles. I felt a significant difference after the session throughout my stay in Paris.

During my visit to the spa, I also noticed a sauna and a flotarium. Even without booking, each hotel guest gets an hour spa booking, including sauna access and the chance to enjoy the flotarium.

With the sauna access provided, I had to take a moment to refresh. On the other hand, the flotarium presented me with an entirely new experience.

For those unfamiliar, this is a floatation tank filled with saltwater that imitates the sensation of weightlessness. As I floated, my body felt relaxed; it was an ideal way to clear my mind, ease into meditation, and forget that I was in the middle of Paris.

The water fully supports your body, alleviating pressure from your joints and enabling your muscles to relax completely.
