Enjoy the sunset in Paris!
Sequoia Rooftop Bar at Kimpton Hotel Saint-Honoré Paris
In the summer of 2021, another one in Paris,
A luxury hotel was born.
Kimpton Hotel Saint-Honoré Paris near the Opera Garnier.
The Louvre and Galeries Lafayette are within walking distance.
This time I would like to share my memories of when I went to the rooftop bar “Sequoia” right after it opened last summer.
I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Paris!
First of all, this building with its magnificent façade, created in 1917, is a sight to behold.
What do you think it was before it became a hotel?
Surprisingly, it seems that it was built as a space for foreign merchants of the department store Samaritaine.
In other words, it is said that here, customer service and sales focused only on special customers.
Coincidentally, the department store Samaritaine will reopen in 2021.
It's a space for special guests in Samaritaine, known for its stunning Art Nouveau and Art Deco architecture.
As you can see, it has been made with even more taste.
In addition to the elaborate decorations on the outer wall, please take a look at the elevator that stands in the middle of the entrance floor.
It's just like a work of art.
As if to further enhance its value,
Surround yourself with sofas.
It's an elevator you'll want to see.
To the rooftop, not this elevator,
Use the modern elevator.
Mr. Charles Zana, who worked on the renewal,
The interior has an Art Deco style to create a Parisian feel.
A corner of the modern elevator
It was a stylish Art Deco space.
And the next thing to see, of course, is the view from the rooftop!
Eiffel Tower, Opera,
Sacre-Coeur Basilica on Montmartre Hill etc.
Come to see the landmarks of Paris.
Moreover, it is irresistible because you can see the sunset.
The sun setting over the city of Paris...
Even in Paris, where rooftop bars are all the rage and there are so many options,
You can't beat the scenery here.
The city of Paris, which changes its expression with the passage of time,
Please enjoy it slowly.
When I checked the menu on the site,
It was an impression that it was easier to use than last year.
With plenty of white flowers,
It is a rooftop bar like a hanging garden.
I want to go again for special occasions!
