La Fondation
Paris, France · Independent · April 2025
La Fondation is a contemporary five-star hotel in Paris’s 17th arrondissement, positioned between the Batignolles neighborhood and Parc Monceau. Its 58 rooms and suites use warm materials, clean modernist lines and generous natural light, with selected suites offering private balconies and views across the Paris rooftops. The property is designed as more than a conventional hotel: La Base brings seasonal French cooking and an easy neighborhood brasserie atmosphere to rue Legendre, while Les Ailes occupies an upper floor with modern French cuisine, shareable plates and cocktails. A rooftop adds wide city views, and the wellness facilities include a spa, sauna, hammam, 25-metre indoor pool and fitness club. Coworking, event areas and a climbing wall give the address an urban, lived-in energy rather than a purely residential hotel feel.
