Born from the union of two historic mansions, one once a haven for international royalty and the other the headquarters of the famed Marie-Claire magazine, this property exudes a fusion of regal charm and fashion-forward flair. Renowned designer Didier Gomez has meticulously transformed the 18th-century treasure into a shrine for haute couture, seamlessly blending timeless sophistication with contemporary verve.

Here, the culinary prowess of Anaïs Foray and Shereen Khelif shines through in sustainable, seasonally inspired dishes that elevate green fare to an art form. For those who prefer to dine al fresco, the Blossom patio offers an exclusive retreat for sunny breakfasts, healthy cocktails, and romantic dinners, all set against a backdrop of ivy-clad serenity.
