This blissful Parisian sanctuary is a home of joy, with a little help from renowned interiors designer Martin Brudnizki.

Nestled away in the ever-buzzing heart of Paris’s 9th Arrondissement lies La Fantaisie, a five-star hotel to add straight to your list of must-sees in the City of Lights. From its radiant rooftop to its verdant botanical courtyard, the hotel offers a sanctuary for visitors (and nesters alike) to revel in its vivacity.

And what was already good, just got even better, as La Fantaisie enlisted the creative vision of renowned interior designer Martin Brudnizki. With a career spanning over two decades and a portfolio that’s coloured some of the world’s most acclaimed hospitality spots, Brudnizki brings the hotel into full bloom – marking his Paris debut.

Drawing inspiration from a garden in its most exuberant state – one bursting and blossoming with bold hues, intricate embroideries and plush textures, mirroring the botanical opulence he so often surrounds himself with. Across 73 rooms and suites, he laces his signature playfulness through soft-palette walls adorned with floral frescoes, scalloped furniture and bespoke cane, glass and marble details. The result is a space that enchants, restores, and leaves guests quietly glowing.

Also on the agenda for your stay, should you choose to indulge (and we think you should), is their La Fantaisie Spa. A wholesome, holistic space lying beneath the hotel’s buzz, inspired by ancient healing rituals and the divine steam of underground springs. There are treatment rooms, a fitness area, and bathing facilities, all uplifted further by the hotel’s broader movement, Wellness Club 9.

Catch them at the right time (if you can), and there is also a range of artistic collaborations and cultural programmes, facilitated by the hotel, to get lost in their wistful, whimsical world. Give Paris another shot at love with a grand stay at La Fantaisie.
