At number 15 on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, a five-storey Haussmann-era building presents one of the neighborhood's more composed limestone facades — six bays of tall French windows, each wrapped in ornate wrought-iron balconies whose scrollwork catches the amber glow of evening light. Hotel Splendide Royal Paris, which arrived in this address as an extension of the Lugano-based Splendide Royal brand, draws on that Swiss heritage to position itself as something quieter and more considered than its address — one of Paris's most charged retail corridors, flanked by the couture houses and embassy residences that define the 8th arrondissement — might lead you to expect. The interiors work firmly within the French classical tradition: Louis XVI-style beds with quilted gilt headboards, damask-patterned wallcovering in warm taupe, and mahogany side tables carrying the kind of brass hardware that feels inherited rather than sourced. Oil paintings in carved oval frames hang above the beds, their equestrian and Parisian street subjects reinforcing a sense of the city's 19th-century self-image. The restaurant deploys bleached oak panelling, tufted caramel banquettes with zebra-print accent chairs, and gold-armed chandelier sconces reflected in panels of mirror — a Directoire vocabulary softened toward contemporary comfort. At the top floor, mansard suites with steeply pitched Velux-lit ceilings give the property its most atmospheric rooms, Paris rooftops framed like a Caillebotte detail through the slanted glazing.

Faithful to the values ​​of art de vivre of the Roberto Naldi Collection, the Hotel Splendide Royal Paris is a discreet location, refined, nestled in the heart of one of the most elite streets of Paris, calm and elegant. Inside the Splendide Royal, the beauty of warm materials and refinement of the most contemporary comfort combines with subtlety. The atmosphere is that of a place of luxury, distinguished, tasteful and without ostentation: here one feels at ease. The classic-style decorations redesigned with subtle Italian touches give each junior suite and suite a unique and personalized charm. With a capacity of 12 junior suites and suites located in pairs on six floors, the objective of the Roberto Naldi Collection is to create "A Parisian house" chic and relaxed in an Italian spirit, a kind of "pocket-sized family Palace." An elegant Italian restaurant will open its doors in early 2017. It will propose a simple cuisine, refined and extremely qualitative under the leadership of the starred chef, Michelino Gioia, who officiates at Pauline Borghese restaurant at the Parco dei Principi Grand Hotel & Spa in Rome, one of the establishments of the Roberto Naldi Collection.
