Olympia

This unique penthouse is located in an affluent neighbourhood just north of the Champs-Élysées. Teeming with period character, the home presents immaculately preserved features such as original 18th-century marquetry floors and intricate hand-painted wallpaper. If we had to pick a single highlight, it would be the Napoleon-style oval master bedroom, which will leave you feeling just like French nobility. Modern elements such as the fully-appointed kitchen and striking roll-top bathtub slot right into place without detracting from the historic grandeur. Spend your morning reclining in the striking living space or soaking up Paris from above on one of many balconies. When it’s time to explore, the iconic Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum and Palais Garnier are all within a thirty-minute wander. And when it comes to food and drink, your 8th arrondissement houses a selection of hidden tasty gems.
