SAINT JAMES PARIS
History & Story
Set in its private garden in the heart of Paris’ exclusive 16th district, a few minutes’ walk from the Arc de Triomphe, Trocadero and new Louis Vuitton Foundation, you will find the only chateau-hotel of the city. Altogether a hotel member of Relais & Châteaux and a private club, the Saint James Paris offers an exclusive and refined setting combined to the warm and friendly atmosphere of a home for a genuinely French experience.
Built on a field where air-balloons used to take off, the property first hosted a foundation dedicated to scholars. It then became a private club before being bought by a French family and opening its spaces to hotel guests.
In 2010 the owners chose to fully redesign the property and hired the decorator Bambi Sloan who envisioned the atmosphere of a home from the end of the 19th century to create a “crazy-chic” décor. The Saint James Paris now offers 49 rooms and suites, all especially spacious and with their own decor.

Restaurants & Bars
• The Dining room
With his head full of gourmet ideas, Adrien Brunet our Chef shares his passion with sincerity and creates delicate compositions, subtly combining classics of the French gastronomy and more contemporary creations.
Since November 2018, Adrien heads the cuisines of the Saint James Paris with their red & gold stove. From his mentor Jean-Luc Rocha, he learnt that “nothing is impossible”, discovered the delicate association of flavors and textures, perfected his cuts and trained his technique. He understood that to blend the flavors, an organic, almost chemical knowledge of the products is fundamental.
Adrien also works with Andy our gardener to supply to his needs of aromatic herbs, flowers and berries, thus making our garden as useful as it is pretty.
The aesthetics of his plates and the mix of flavors and textures will make as many delightful souvenirs to complete the very special gourmet journey offered at the Saint James Paris.
