La Fondation Paris

La Fondation occupies a brutalist building in a residential pocket of the 17th arrondissement, offering quick car access to Palais Garnier and the Champs-Élysées while providing a quieter, locally oriented base suited to repeat visitors who know Paris. The property combines 58 contemporary rooms and three suites with offices, an auditorium, and a hanging garden, all transformed from a 1960s structure by architect Philippe Chiambaretta’s firm PCA-STREAM. Interiors by Roman & Williams feature clean-lined modern design within the industrial shell, with many rooms overlooking Parisian rooftops and nearby parks. Three Executive Rooms include accessibility adaptations such as roll-in showers and grab bars, and common areas are fully accessible. Signature amenities center on a 26-metre heated semi-Olympic pool, spa with sauna and hammam, climbing wall, and full gym, all part of an on-site sports club open to guests and local subscribers. Ground-floor Brasserie La Base serves seasonal modern French cuisine, while a bistronomic restaurant on higher floors and a seasonal rooftop terrace with city views complete the dining options. Room rates are room-only, with à la carte breakfast available at extra charge.
