LXR Hotels & Resorts makes debut in France with opening of Sax Paris

LXR Hotels & Resorts has made its debut in Paris with the opening of Sax Paris.

The 118-room property is housed in a historic neo-gothic building, formerly the Ségur telephone exchange, in Paris’ 7th arrondissement. 

The property features a range of rooms and suites, with many featuring marble bathrooms and private terraces. Three signature suites offer in-room cocktail stations.

There are two restaurants: two-storey Franco-Japanese rooftop venue Kinugawa Rive Gauche and all-day bar and eatery Restaurant Le Sax. 

Elsewhere guests will find a cocktail bar, extensive 24/7 spa and fitness facilities, event spaces, and one of the only heated outdoor pools in Paris, set in a French-style garden.

Landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Musée d’Orsay and Jardin du Luxembourg are situated nearby.

Simon Vincent, president of Europe, the Middle East and Africa at parent company Hilton, said: “Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts epitomises modern luxury, elevating the guest experience within the beautiful surroundings of this reimagined Parisian landmark. 

“The opening symbolises our continued commitment and growing presence in the French market, and exemplifies our dedication to delivering unique and exceptional hotels in the world’s most iconic destinations.”

Feisal Jaffer, global head of LXR Hotels & Resorts, added: “Sax Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts marks a significant moment for our brand as we debut in France. Paris is a city of timeless allure, making it the perfect setting for LXR’s expansion into new, culturally rich destinations. 

“As we continue to grow our global portfolio, we remain dedicated to curating independent, one-of-a-kind hotels that offer deeply personal and transformative experiences.” 

LXR Hotels & Resorts now features a total of 15 properties.

Sax Paris is owned and developed by French real estate company Compagnie de Phalsbourg.
