PB hotel design editorial

Hidden behind a porte-cochère on the Rue Christine, a sixteenth-century Augustinian convent forms the physical and spiritual core of Relais Christine — a 48-room hotel that has quietly represented the best version of rive gauche intimacy since the 1970s. The cour intérieure visible in the images tells you everything: ivy-draped limestone, geranium-filled window boxes cascading from wrought-iron balconies, a doorman framed in the entrance arch like a figure from a Doisneau photograph. Nothing here announces itself, which is precisely the point. The interiors, refreshed in recent years under the direction of the Pourcel aesthetic philosophy that now shapes the property, move between registers with considerable confidence. The library bar deploys lacquered navy shelving, a marble fireplace, and a central ormolu-legged table with a malachite top to conjure a cabinet particulier atmosphere that feels genuinely inhabited rather than assembled. Guest rooms layer Directoire-striped wallpapers in forest green against herringbone parquet, oil portraits above beds dressed in quilted velvet throws, heavy draped curtains in geometric cut-velvet — the palette shifting from room to room between deep moss, ochre, and champagne. The dining room's oak boiserie panelling, coffered ceiling, and toile-painted screen behind steel-framed glazing suggest a Parisian townhouse rather than any conventional hotel breakfast room. Across every space, antique brass lamps with pleated shades keep the light warm and low, reinforcing the sense of a private house that happens to have a concierge.

"Our stay at La Christine was wonderful in every aspect mentioned above, especially the friendly concierge service (Victoria chef concierge) and the entire hotel staff. We already miss them. It was a real treat. It was very professional. We already miss our next vacation with you."

"Accommodations and amenities were excellent, toiletries were top notch, and, most importantly, the staff was phenomenal. Relais Christine treats every detail as important and doesn't try to cut costs on them like other luxury hotels. Every staff member we met was very personable and made us feel like we were guests at their own home. This was the first time we've been to a hotel that we actually *wanted* to spend time in despite being in a city with thousands of places to explore. Would absolutely stay here again!"

"We stayed 3 nights at the Relais Christine and enjoyed every moment of the experience. The hotel we usually stay at is currently closed, however we have always been curious about the Relais Christine as we have walked past looking into the pretty and inviting courtyard which is also the entrance. The communication prior to our stay was excellent and we thank the hotel for restaurant recommendations. On arrival the welcome was light-hearted and warm. We had a quick orientation tour of the hotel before being shown to our room. We stayed in a superior room which had a view of the courtyard. The room was relatively small (as expected) but perfectly formed, spotless and offered all of the comforts we would expect including good storage for our clothes and suitcases. The bed was superbly comfortable and we slept soundly during our stay. Breakfast is served in the lounge and dining area and consists of a wide choice of buffet offerings although you can order eggs to your preference. Coffee is excellent as you would expect. This is a very special hotel and we will definitely return. It is a peaceful sanctuary with a gentle and very welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended."

"Absolutely lovely place to get a true taste of Paris. Beautiful spaces everywhere, nice little details. Great place for people wanting to be on rive gauche. Looots of remarkable little restaurants around. Stuff is extremely sweet. Strong point worth to mention is the ability to get last moment tickets or table reservations when there is no availability, very convenient. Rooms are very charming but small, in case someone is bothered by it, we were not."
