Two visions of Parisian-style luxury
LA RÉSERVE PARIS HOTEL, SPA AND APARTMENTS
An event: a new La Réserve hotel and spa opens in Paris
with a second establishment at the Avenue Gabriel, off the
Champs-Elysées. Three ki lometers, or just 15 minutes by car,
l ie between La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa and La Réserve
Paris – Apartments at Place du Trocadéro. Two neighboring
addresses, two different visions, two complementary ways
of enjoying the capital, as the fancy takes you. Classical 19th
century Paris-style at the hotel, contemporary Paris-style in the
apartments, but always the same La Réserve-style way of l i fe.

MICHEL REYBIER HOSPITALITY PHILOSOPHY
Just like in Geneva or Ramatuelle, Michel Reybier wants
each one of his guests, known or unknown, but always
recognized, to feel at home at the same time as being
somewhere completely different, and to share a way of
life rooted in excellence, authenticity and simplicity.
At La Réserve Geneva, Paris or Ramatuelle, Michel
Reybier invites his guests to accompany him on his
quest for discreet elegance, to experience a unique
story, always different but always unforgettable. A sign
of recognition amongst the members of a tight circle
of connoisseurs, the Michel Reybier Hospitality label
marks character-filled institutions, unusual places
where jealously guarded, renewed intimacy has become
an essential value.
OVER AND ABOVE SERVICE…
In a world of perfection, only unexpected little
personalized touches have the power of making every
moment truly amazing. The kind of precious gestures
that instill a warm, attentive family atmosphere in each
La Réserve hotel and spa. A signature that one joyfully
rediscovers with every stay.
THE FEELING OF FINDING ONESELF “AT HOME”
Hospitality, spa, catering… La Réserve interprets its way
of life like an invitation to reconnect with one’s own body
and senses. A whole world where nature’s very best in
terms of nutrition rubs shoulders with state-of-the-art
treatment science. A place that is a home from home,
where guests can focus on the business of relaxing and
recharging their batteries in total peace; on savoring a
slow pace and a gentle art of living at their own pace.

An urban mansion with a twist
La Réserve Paris - Hotel and SpaThe new address, 42 avenue Gabriel
Delphine Nicolas · Public Relations Manager · La Réserve · 301 Route de Lausanne · 1293 Bellevue · Geneva · [email protected] · T +41 (0)22 959 59 48
A CAPITAL ADDRESS
Paris now and forever, romantic and trendy, chic and
bohemian… Midway between Avenue Montaigne and
Rue du Faubourg St-Honoré, an address resembling a
promise of experiencing Paris as a state of mind, a way
of life.
42 Avenue Gabriel. Right bank, a stone’s throw from
the Elysée Palace and the Champs-Elysées, where the
heart of Paris beats. Nestled in a peaceful location,
slightly set back from the most beautiful avenue in the
world, La Réserve Paris-Hotel and Spa overlooks some
of the city’s key sights: the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon,
the Grand Palais and the Concorde obelisk. Just in
front, a majestic curtain of trees preserves the area’s
intimacy, like an echo of the Elysée gardens close by. A
dream address, humming day and night for the sheer
pleasure of contemplating the city at its feet.
A HISTORY
The highly sought after 8th arrondissement won acclaim
from the beginning of the 19th century.
Over the years, the emergence of the famous nearby
‘Golden Triangle’ has made this quadrangle even more
valuable – to the point of it becoming the symbol
of Parisian lifestyle. The history of Avenue Gabriel
embodies the quintessence of the Haussmann spirit
to perfection. In 1818, Avenue de l’Elysée, which had
existed since the creation of the Champs-Elysées in
1670, was extended beyond Avenue de Marigny, right
up to Place de la Concorde. It was then called Avenue
Gabriel, in tribute to the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel
(1698-1782). As first architect to the King, he created
the Place Louis XV, which is today known as Place de
la Concorde.
At the beginning of the 19th century, and then during the
Second Empire, the Champs-Elysées district became
the prime location for elegant Parisian life. Alongside
the six houses bordering Avenue des Champs-Elysées
in 1800, luxurious dwellings – Haussmann urban
mansions, buildings or bourgeois homes – swiftly
appeared. All the gardens were assigned to the Paris
Municipality that developed them, building pavements
and then four fountains. In 1854, the construction of
the building located on the angle of Avenue Gabriel
and the Rue du Cirque became part of this dynamic.
Owned by the Duc of Morny’s family until 1888, the
building was completely occupied by large apartments.
Subsequently acquired by an insurance company, it
became the property of Pierre Cardin’s Compagnie
d’exploitation et de financement Capucines and after of
Michel Reybier and his family. 160 years after it was
built, Michel Reybier and his family have now made it
the most stylish address in Paris.
160 years after it was built, Michel Reybier and his family have now made it the most styl ish address in Paris.
A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE OF PARIS
Michel Reybier’s urban mansion has all the elegance of an
early 19th century private apartment. There is no classic
reception desk per se, but instead every guest who arrives
at 42 Avenue Gabriel is welcomed personally and taken to
their suite to make sure that they feel at home immediately,
in the same way as one would a friend coming to visit at
home. And what a home!
More suites than rooms, large spaces in re-interpreted
classical style, all the codes of a certain way of life: a
library reserved for guests and their friends, a smoking
room, a 16-meter indoor pool (a rarity in Paris), a spa with
three treatment rooms including one specifically for men,
wine cellars in the suites… A world designed for lovers
of fine things who appreciate ultra-personalized services,
perceived as rare and therefore all the more precious
tokens of attention.
A SMALL, PRIVILEGED GROUP…
The guests who frequent the inner circle of La Réserve
regulars will undoubtedly appreciate the fine touch
of Jacques Garcia, who has once again worked with
Michel Reybier on La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa! The
decorator drew his inspiration from canvases by James
Tissot, famous for their subject matter which paints an
accurate picture of bourgeois Paris in the 19th century. The
lobby and the potted jasmine plants pay particular tribute
to this artist. If you wish to admire some of James Tissot’s
works, pay a quick visit to the Musée d’Orsay, right next
to the Seine…
A secret hideaway for those who enjoy being free
to experience Paris, with their famil ies or with
fr iends, the apartments of La Réserve Paris take on
a new dimension with the opening of the nearby La
Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa. The ideal synergy
between the two concepts offers guests at the
apartments tempting new opportunit ies: treatments
at the hotel spa, dining at the restaurant, a chance
to rendezvous at the bar or in the l ibrary… not to
mention the possibil ity of doing a few lengths in the
hotel’s private pool!

At home with the Eiffel Tower as your neighbor
La Réserve Paris-ApartmentsA mythical address, 10 Place du Trocadéro
AT HOME WITH THE EIFFEL TOWER AS YOUR NEIGHBOR
10 Place du Trocadéro, and ten apartments that can be
rented to experience the capital in total privacy, with your
loved ones. The ideal complement to La Réserve Paris
– Hotel and Spa, La Réserve Paris – Apartments offers
the benefit of a magnificent environment along with
the inestimable ability to make guests feel entirely at
home in Paris. Place du Trocadéro was created in 1869
in the same flamboyant Paris of the Second Empire
that saw the development of the Champs-Elysées. Its
name comes from a battle fought by Napoleon in Spain
in August 1823. The gardens opposite the Seine and
the various buildings were built for the World’s Fair of
1937, providing an admirable showcase for the city’s
magnificence.
CONTEMPORARY AESTHETICS
The Haussmann-style building reflects all the codes of
19th century Parisian classicism. This is in magnificent
contrast to the interior of the apartments, which are
all spacious, understated and graced with designer
decoration by the talented Rémi Tessier.
Intended to be a private pied-à-terre in Paris, each
apartment offers the freedom of serving as a second
home that is just as suited to an intimate stay for two as
to a family holiday. Ranging from 150 to 300m2, the ten
apartments offer ample space – a rare commodity in
Paris – and noble materials interpreted by the greatest
names in contemporary furnishing. The peaceful,
uncluttered atmosphere instills a welcome sense of
serenity after busy days.
GUARANTEED WELL-BEING
WITH À LA CARTE HOTEL SERVICES
All the apartments offer services included to ensure
peace of mind for their guests: valet parking, concierge
available on request, secure access, a library… Every
morning, the housekeeper takes care of preparing
breakfast as well as doing the shopping, and is always
available to help with organizing the day. Nothing is
lacking in order to ensure that the mind is freed of all
material concerns.
A chef will prepare meals and receptions on request.
A whole range of in-home treatments is available:
well-being, manicure, pedicure… A children’s activity
organizer can look after the kids and organize an age-
appropriate program for them to discover Paris.
AN AVANT-GARDE ADDRESS…
A visionary concept when it was launched, La Réserve
Paris – Apartments is amongst those places that are
particularly sought-after to organize remarkable private
events. The Chocolate Suite designed by Karl Lagerfeld,
the pop-up store for the launch of the Monette luxury
lingerie brand, photos of fashion runway shoes…
trendy Paris is on the agenda at La Réserve Paris –
Apartments!
A shuttle is available to guests free of charge to
enable them to get to one or the other of La Réserve
establishments. A spa treatment, dinner at a restaurant,
an afternoon tea for two… nothing could be easier!
Architecture and decoration
Two interpretations of Parisian style
Both located in sought-after Parisian districts,
each of the La Réserve Paris establishments
expresses a completely different vision in terms of
atmosphere and décor. Classical Paris at the hotel
on Avenue Gabriel, designer Paris in the Trocadéro
apartments: two diametrically opposite facets, yet
governed by the same quality standards in terms
of both volumes and materials. Jacques Garcia’s
choice of opulent leather and velvet fabrics in the
hotel responds to Rémi Tessier ’s clever use of
slate in the apartments.

A TASTE FOR BEAUTIFUL THINGS
The typically Haussmann-style architecture of an address
dedicated to French lifestyle proved an ideal playground
for decorator Jacques Garcia, who was chosen by
Michel Reybier for his particular affinities with this era.
La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa displays the style of
an era down to the smallest detail, in harmony with the
spirit of the place. Like a nod to those in the know, a few
photos of the family and vineyards belonging to Michel
Reybier, owner of the Domaine de Cos d’Estournel in
the Bordeaux region, bid you welcome. From the first
steps on the Versailles parquet, the spectacular staircase
soaring to the heavens captures the eye. Everywhere,
immense spaces bathed in light, barely muted by the rich
fabrics of the hangings. Here and there, beautiful marble
fireplaces and everywhere the joy of huge indoor spaces,
typical of early 19th century Haussmann apartments – an
all-but-forgotten generosity.
AN EXERCISE IN STYLE
Echoing the worked façade adorned with Corinthian
columns, the architectural interiors are reminiscent
of the traditional canons of the era. Renovation work
revealed historical ornamentation, woodwork, moldings
and cornices that had been forgotten and concealed
behind partitions and false ceilings. Other vestiges of
the original building were also found, particularly in
the Salon Louis XV. All in all, a precious foundation that
strongly inspired Jacques Garcia in his plan to recreate
the period ambiances. In every suite and room, the walls
are thus graced with a delicate play of carved moldings,
finely worked cornices and decorative sculpted friezes.
Engraved Cordovan leather frames the doors of the lifts
and the contours of the bar, while embossed motifs adorn
the corridors around black and gold lacquered doors.
COLORS AND MATERIALS
The 26 suites and 14 rooms interpret four gentle
harmonies in a serene atmosphere of soft colors:
bronze, beige, prune and tea rose. Walls hung with
silk, damascene brocade drapes, taffeta and velvet,
embossed fabrics, herringbone oak parquet, Carrara
marble and blue Turquin from floor to ceiling in the
bathrooms. Furniture consisting of many unique
antiques, with old seats re-upholstered, such as the
18th century ponteuse chairs decorated with birds of
paradise …
A GLIMPSE OF GREEN
Representing the ultimate privilege, the green
surroundings of the hotel in the very heart of Paris are
the stuff of dreams! With its plantations of orange trees
in pots and Versailles style planters, the landscaped
entrance designed by Pierre-Alexandre Risser’s
company, Horticulture et Jardins, pays tribute to the Sun
King’s Orangerie. The lobby, the interior courtyard and
the terrace on the first floor are also well-endowed with
plants, featuring shrubs and plantations that change
according to the season. The immediate vicinity of the
hotel offers many green areas suitable for a quick stroll
as soon as the sun comes out: the Elysée gardens just
on the other side of Avenue Marigny, the majestic trees
on Avenue des Champs-Elysées…
LA RÉSERVE PARIS - HOTEL AND SPA
LA RÉSERVE PARIS-HOTEL AND SPA
IN FIGURES …
250 tons of marble
6 months to lay it by 12 accomplished artisans
155 different patterns laid
More than 6,000 meters of fabric for hangings, drapes
and net curtains
2 years of work for 120 artisans in 38 companies
INSPIRED DISPARITY
The classic elegance of the façade on Place du Trocadéro,
the wrought iron balconies, the faceted mirrors in the
entrance hall… nothing hints at what is behind the doors
of the apartments! In a manner both daring and masterful,
the interior design makes a clean break with the exterior.
Decorated by designer Rémi Tessier, the apartments give
pride of place to contemporary, understated, clean lines.
LESS IS MORE
Rémi Tessier’s desire to combine “beauty and usefulness,
aesthetics with the realities of daily life” perfectly
corresponds to the spirit of La Réserve, where the
need for quality and discretion reign supreme. Echoing
splendid architecture featuring spectacular volumes, the
apartments are decorated in a minimalist, contemporary
style, as if to better promote the intrinsic beauty of the
place. Noble materials such as ebony, rosewood and
sycamore make a perfect match with slate, concrete,
stucco, metal and glass. Not to mention the light itself
that so skillfully sculpts the vast spaces… This is the
ideal setting for all the great classics of contemporary
design, such as Knoll, Vitra, MaxAlto and Andrée Putman.
Timeless neutral tones – white, ivory, black, grey – outline
a peaceful, serene atmosphere, creating exactly the type
of place guests naturally adopt as home during their
Parisian experience. Like true Parisians!
FRENCH-STYLE PRIVATE GARDENS
A native of the Vosges region and heir to the horticultural
tradition for which Nancy has carved itself a reputation
since the 19th century, landscaper Jean-Christophe
Stoerkel sums up his vision of the gardens of La Réserve
Paris – Apartments, designed in conjunction with his
mentor, Daniel Besneux. “We dreamt up these gardens
as a link between La Réserve and the Trocadéro gardens
at the foot of the Eiffel Tower …”
“Through the introduction of the yew (Taxus Baccata) as
the core element, we wished to use this symbolic plant
to provide a reminder of French gardens in the 19th
century, the period when Avenue Georges Mandel was
created. It gives strength to a garden and responds to the
architectural power of the building. The choice of metallic
cubes covered in ivy and blue Hainaut limestone on the
ground nonetheless brings a contemporary touch to the
project and thus matches Rémi Tessier’s scenography
concept. The softness of the perennials, climbing roses
and jasmine, along with the running water of the ponds,
delicately punctuate this contemporary yet classical
structure.”
LA RÉSERVE PARIS-APARTMENTS
A French-stylegourmet journeyAuthentic, refined cuisine
In a capital as stimulating as Paris when it comes
to gastronomy, La Réserve Paris – Hotel and Spa
rises ably to the challenge with its restaurant,
Le Gabriel.

LA RÉSERVE PARIS-HOTEL AND SPA
A fan of authentic good produce, Michel Reybier has opted
for contemporary French cuisine inspired by the seasons.
Enhanced but never disguised, products are left to be
discovered and rediscovered in all their natural glory. This
philosophy of quality can be seen in every offering. But
respect for what is natural in no way excludes a certain
gustatory fantasy, which here and there borrows culinary
inspiration from all over the world, providing a surprise for
tastebuds with an inspired reinterpretation of the great
classics. This is not about a delirious avant-garde frenzy,
but instead just enough creativity to give each dish the
excitement of “a first time”.
SAVORING THE PARISIAN LIFESTYLE
THROUGHOUT THE DAY
From breakfast to dinnertime, a business lunch to family
brunch, intimate dinner to cocktails with friends, every
occasion is a party for tastebuds in a warm, relaxed
atmosphere.
Feather-light madeleines (French cup cakes) or melt-
in-your-mouth financier cake? The typically Parisian
gourmet tea should not be missed on any count. This is
a unique opportunity to return to childhood with a few
well-chosen delicacies accompanied by a cup of tea or
hot chocolate.
Finally, the Bar, with its impressive collection of wines,
has enough to satisfy the most discerning connoisseur.
Guests also have the option of tasting their favorite
vintages in the Library. And all the greatest classics in
the art of cocktail-making feature on the menu. The
barman can even improvise a recipe to order from a list
of ingredients. Regulars can thus enjoy their exclusive
personalized cocktail whenever they visit.
A NEW GOURMET LOCATION TO DISCOVER
Like the Bar, Le Gabriel is open to all. House guests,
naturally, as well as those from the apartments at La
Réserve Paris – Apartments, along with all Parisians keen
to expand their gourmet address book…
As an exclusive privilege, guests at La Réserve Paris
– Hotel and Spa may be served their meals in the
restaurant, the library or elsewhere, depending on the
mood of the moment. They can also call on room service
24/24. Guests at La Réserve Paris – Apartments can
enjoy the hotel catering services and savor Le Gabriel’s
culinary experience on site or in the intimacy of their own
apartment for a private dinner. The chef proposes food-
wine pairing depending on their tastes and they can sip
Michel Reybier wines in ideal conditions.
JÉRÔME BANCTEL, EXECUTIVE CHEF AT LE GABRIEL

chefs in the business, notably including Alain Senderes at
Lucas Carton, he has also worked in the kitchens of the
finest culinary establishments in France and elsewhere,

have also had a strong influence on him. Wherever he

La Réserve, the spirit of places
LA RÉSERVE RAMATUELLE HOTEL, SPA AND VILLAS LA CHARTREUSE DE COS D’ESTOURNEL
LA RÉSERVE GENÈVE HOTEL AND SPA LA RÉSERVE PARIS HOTEL AND SPA
Through the various La Réserve establishments,
Michel Reybier expresses his highly personal vision of
contemporary hospitality, very different from classic
standards of luxury.
A vision that above all places clients at the center of every
choice, in an intimate, attention-filled atmosphere. In
Geneva, Ramatuelle and Paris, the teams from La Réserve
give their all to ensure that guests feel completely at
home at La Réserve. Hotels like private homes, reserved
for members of a club of connoisseurs, who know how to
appreciate an atmosphere that is both warm and discreet,
so typical of La Réserve. Amazingly simple yet targeting
superlative standards… This highly particular philosophy
of service is the signature of La Réserve, places where
regulars have their own points of reference, where they
like to meet, where they know that the very best awaits
them. Always, everywhere.
And yet, every Réserve is unique! Each one expresses
the soul of a place, the quintessence of a city and respect
for its identity. The chic of a 19th century urban mansion
for Paris, the refinement of a luxury lodge in Geneva,
the beautiful peace of a secret refuge in Ramatuelle…
Each place provides a unique impulse, like the “once
upon a time” of fairytales. And for each and every one,
La Réserve tells another different and wonderful story.

LA CHARTREUSE DE COS - SAINT-ESTÈPHE
In the heart of the vineyards of the Domaine de Cos
d’Estournel in Bordeaux, Michel Reybier opens the doors
to the family estate and welcomes guests seeking the
exclusivity of a private refuge. Two suites, six rooms, a
library, a dining room and a large sitting room – the beating
heart of the home where everyone gathers – in addition
to an indoor pool, a steam room and a magnificent cellar,
a true pearl in the same class as the wines it houses.
Far from the madding crowd, with the vineyards of Cos
stretching far as the eye can see, the Chartreuse de
Cos has everything it takes to attract fans of prestigious
wines and gastronomy. Ideal for hosting family reunions,
an escapade with friends and private stays, it offers the
intimacy of a Maison in which one is welcomed like an
honored guest – or better yet, as a friend.
