What’s New In Paris This Season
THE RESTAURANT:
Doobie’s
Doobie’s is the latest all-day restaurant and bar to arrive in Paris, opening on Rue Marbeuf in the 8th arrondissement. Spread across 400sq m and six spaces, the venue is designed to work from daytime through to late evening, with lunch served Monday to Friday, dinner Monday to Saturday and the bar open on Sundays. Architect Armin Rahzmi is behind the interiors, with artwork selected by Galerie Sikor. Together, they’ve created a space that’s designed to look like a collector’s house. The look is dark, polished and designed to transition easily from dinner into drinks. On the menu, expect to see the likes of sea urchin omelette, tuna Milanese, lobster linguini and a wagyu sando.

THE SPA REHAUL:
Mandarin Oriental Lutetia
Within the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, Akasha Spa is a 700sq m wellness space designed as a peaceful escape from the energy of Paris. Newly refreshed for autumn 2026, the space is inspired by the four elements and combines personalised treatments with a calming, contemporary setting. The treatment menu includes massages and facials using My Blend products, alongside techniques that blend traditional practices with more modern approaches. There’s also a 17m pool flooded with natural light, plus a sauna, hammam, jacuzzi and state-of-the-art gym, where personal trainers can create tailored fitness sessions. Beauty treatments are complemented by partnerships with brands including My Blend and hairstylist Christophe Nicolas Biot, making it easy to combine a treatment with a little extra pampering. Having been named Best Hotel Spa in France 2023 at the World Spa Awards, Akasha has become a destination for both hotel guests and Parisians looking for some downtime.

THE HOTEL:
Le Magnifique
Paris has welcomed Hotel Le Magnifique, a playful boutique hotel in the city’s 14th arrondissement. Set on Rue de la Gaîté, the interiors take a colourful, artistic approach, with abstract murals winding across the walls in soft pink, yellow and blue. The light-filled lobby features a striking black-and-white geometric floor, sculptural furniture and a statement branch-like chandelier, while a spiral staircase leads through the open-plan space. The design has a distinctly mid-century feel, softened by the pastel artwork and plenty of natural light. Close to Montparnasse, the hotel puts guests within easy reach of some of the neighbourhood’s best restaurants, cafés and theatres, making it a good base for exploring this less touristy corner of the city.

THE COLLAB:
Gisou x Cédric Grolet
Gisou and Cédric Grolet are teaming up again, turning Gisou’s autumn beauty launches into a collection of edible creations. The limited-edition collaboration takes the idea that there’s always room for dessert and runs with it, transforming Gisou’s latest Fall Collection into three pastries created by the celebrated French pastry chef: Cherry Chocolate, Pink Praline and Sticky Toffee. The goods will be available exclusively at Cédric Grolet Le Meurice in Paris for two days only, on 2nd and 3rd October. We’re eyeing up the Pink Praline acorn.

THE RESIDENTIAL SUITES:
Mondovi
For a stay that feels more like a private Parisian pied-à-terre than a traditional hotel, the new Mondovi Suites are worth knowing about. At 7 Rue de Mondovi in the 1st arrondissement, the residential-style address has been designed by Andon Studio in collaboration with SO/AP Architectes. The interiors take a deliberately quiet and layered approach, using rich materials including onyx, Taj Mahal marble and warm woods, alongside carefully selected vintage furniture. The overall effect is discreet and residential rather than overtly hotel-like, making it particularly suited to anyone who prefers a little more privacy and a sense of having their own base in the city., Mondovi is also home to Le 7 cocktail bar, in collaboration with Colin Field, the legendary former head bartender of the Hemingway Bar.

Michelin Palace Keys 2026
Michelin announced its hotel awards earlier this month and Paris has a number of newly awarded addresses.

In Paris, Bvlgari Hotel Paris, Hôtel Fouquet’s Paris and Cheval Blanc Paris have been awarded Palace status, with Cheval Blanc and Bvlgari also receiving three and two Michelin Keys. Outside the capital, Royal Champagne Hotel & Spa, Hôtel Martinez in Cannes and Four Seasons Hotel Megève have also joined France’s most exclusive hotel circle, with Royal Champagne and Four Seasons receiving three Michelin Keys.

THE HAND-ROLL BAR:
Dragon
Chef Cyril Lignac, who has Bar de Prés in London, has turned his former Chinese restaurant into Dragon, a Japanese-inspired spot focused on hand rolls. On Paris’s Left Bank, the restaurant combines elegant interiors with a menu built around a few very good ingredients and plenty of precise techniques. The signature hand rolls pair crisp nori and warm, delicate Japanese rice with high-quality fresh fish and carefully balanced sauces, creating the sort of perfectly proportioned bite that makes the format so appealing. There’s more to the menu than hand rolls, with crispy rice chips, flame-seared crudos and other Japanese-influenced dishes alongside signature cocktails, teas and sake.

THE EXHIBITION:
Warhol, Basquiat, Haring
Three of the most recognisable names in late 20th-century art will be brought together at Opera Gallery this autumn for Warhol, Basquiat, Haring. Running from 16th October to 19th November, the exhibition brings together paintings and works on paper spanning the decade from 1979 to 1989, exploring the friendship and creative exchange between Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring. Highlights include Warhol’s ‘Multicolored Retrospective’ (Reversal series), Basquiat’s energetic ‘Batman’ and Haring’s graphic ‘TV Dog’. While the three artists developed very different visual languages, they shared an ability to respond directly to the culture and imagery around them. Rather than presenting three separate careers, the exhibition looks at the connections between them and the way ideas circulated through New York’s art scene.

THE REFURB:
Manko
Parisian restaurant Manko has had a dramatic makeover, with design studio Bureau Lacroix giving its Avenue Montaigne interiors a rich new look. Beneath the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, the Peruvian-Japanese restaurant now combines Parisian elegance with Andean and Japanese influences: think deep midnight-blue ceilings, blue and gold seating, brass detailing and statement lighting inspired by the Inca calendar. A new ceviche bar is a focal point, topped with a bespoke marine mosaic made from thousands of blue and gold tesserae, while the open kitchen brings the chefs into the centre of the action.

THE TRAVEL EXPERIENCE:

The journey begins in Villerville, Normandy, where Guggenheim spent summers in the 1920s, before continuing to Paris with a private tour of artists’ studios in Montmartre. The final stop is Venice, where travellers can visit Palazzo Venier dei Leoni – Guggenheim’s former home and now the Peggy Guggenheim Collection – with a private tour. Prices start from £8,540 per person, based on two sharing.

THE TREATMENT:
La Réserve Paris
La Réserve Paris has introduced a new – and exclusive – body treatment, the Tesla Med Body protocol, developed by Nescens and available exclusively at the hotel’s spa. Building on the Tesla Med Face programme, the treatment combines contouring massage techniques with targeted micro-currents, with the aim of toning, draining and redefining the silhouette without invasive procedures. The treatment is designed to work on muscle and adipose tissue, while also supporting circulation and lymphatic drainage. According to Nescens, it can also stimulate collagen and elastin production, with skin intended to appear firmer and more radiant following treatment. The protocol forms part of the Spa Nescens approach, which brings together medical expertise, aesthetic treatments and a more traditional sense of relaxation.

THE PARIS EXPORT:
16 Charles Street
The Loulou Groupe is bringing its particular brand of Parisian hospitality to London, with its first British opening planned for next year. The group, best known for Paris restaurants including Loulou, recently opened Le Grand Café, a traditional-style Parisian brasserie at the heart of the Grand Palais. Founded by siblings Gilles and Claire Malafosse, the group is now preparing to cross the Channel with 16 Charles Street in Mayfair in a Grade II*-listed townhouse. For anyone who already knows Loulou in Paris, the opening will offer a chance to experience the group’s take on French hospitality without leaving London. And for those yet to discover it, a Paris trip could be the perfect excuse to visit one of its existing restaurants before the London opening arrives.
