Vibrant, imaginative, and full of surprises, La Fantaisie brings a fresh, playful spirit to the 9th arrondissement, in the South Pigalle area — a hip, local neighborhood filled with creative boutiques, concept stores, and cozy bistros. It’s the kind of area where Parisians go for brunch, vintage finds, and laid-back nightlife.
Inside, the hotel’s whimsical design makes every corner feel joyful. The rooftop bar offers a peek at the Eiffel Tower, and the dreamy spa — with its hammam, sauna, and hot-and-cold plunge pools — is perfect for relaxing after a busy day exploring or shopping.
