Slowing down isn’t about escaping, t’s about choosing to give yourself time. Real time. Just steps from the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Elysia offers the most refined version of that choice. Discover ten elegant and serene ways to embrace the slow life in the heart of the 8th arrondissement.
- Redefine your arrival: choose the suite, not the schedule
Instead of rushing to check in, why not indulge in a well-deserved late check-out? At Hôtel Elysia, each suite is designed as a Haussmannian cocoon—bathed in soft light, adorned with elegant moldings, and furnished with deep bathtubs and plush armchairs. Drop your bags with the concierge, take a breath, and slow down. Here, time is meant to be savored.
- Disconnect in a warm bath
In a world flooded with notifications, true luxury lies elsewhere: a bath infused with essential oils, soft classical music, and a distant view of Paris. In the marble bathrooms of the Deluxe and Prestige rooms, let the steam, the silence, and the rare feeling of "owing nothing to anyone" wash over you.
- Indulge in a spa treatment—your moment of pause
Living the slow life also begins with the body. The Elysia Spa, intimate and serene, designed to gently awaken the senses. Whether in the jacuzzi or sauna, surrender to the experience. Let skilled hands work their magic as time melts away.
- Slow the pace at Bayadère, over a refined lunch
At Le Bayadère, the hotel celebrates the art of French dining with contemporary elegance. This intimate space offers seasonal cuisine that is both refined and balanced. Settle in for a leisurely lunch, paired with a chilled white wine and a medley of summer vegetables.
- Rediscover the luxury of in-room breakfast
At Elysia, breakfast is more than a meal—it’s a ritual. In-room, it becomes a personal moment: golden pastries, fresh-pressed juices, custom plates. Put your phone away, draw the curtains, gaze at the Parisian rooftops, and savor every bite.
- Read a novel in the hotel’s Bamboo Lounge
Bathed in natural light and tastefully decorated, the lobby at Elysia is perfect for those rare suspended moments when you finally reopen that book you never finished. Settle in with a Dammann tea, let the hum of the city fade, and revisit the first pages you once skimmed. That too is the art of slowing down.
- (Re)discover yourself on a solo getaway
Slow living is also about chosen solitude. Hôtel Elysia is the ideal setting for a chic solo stay. Sip a cocktail at the bar with an art magazine in hand, wander down rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, or book a treatment just for yourself—every moment becomes a private journey of self-reconnection.
- Explore Paris on foot, from the heart of the 8th
Staying at Hôtel Elysia means you’re perfectly placed to rediscover Paris at a human pace: the gardens of Parc Monceau, the elegant façades of the Golden Triangle. Ditch the metro—embrace inspired strolls.
- Take time for an impromptu tea time
Between meetings or after a spa session, give in to a discreet tea time in the hotel’s Bamboo Lounge. A graceful moment to chat, dream, or simply be, accompanied by a curated selection of fine teas and sweet delights.
- Go home transformed—not exhausted
The true success of a slow getaway lies in what you bring back: not just photos, but a new mindset. When you leave Elysia, you’ll have learned to savor rituals and turn slowness into strength. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll start seeing everyday life through a different lens.
