On Rue Cambon, beside the original Chanel boutique and a short walk from Place Vendôme, Castille Paris - Starhotels Collezione occupies a group of eighteenth-century townhouses behind a discreet stone façade. Its rooms and suites move between Parisian classicism and richer Florentine references, using damask, dark timber, marble and carefully chosen antiques. L’Assaggio serves Italian cooking in a dining room that opens onto a frescoed courtyard, while the adjoining bar provides a more intimate setting. The enclosed garden, wrought-iron balconies and layered salons give the hotel the atmosphere of a private residence within the fashion district.
