Soon-to-open boutique hotel Salvia is set to season 2026 with upscale, townhouse-set lodgings in a seductive spot on the Rive Gauche. Your sociable Latin Quarter launchpad puts Notre-Dame and the sights of the Seine in strolling distance: the hotel’s sage-hued, mid-century-modern interiors are catnip for weary flâneurs. And although the hotel serves breakfast-only for now, an in-the-works wine bar and restaurant will add epicurean allure to this gently glamorous basecamp.

Our favourite rooms

All rooms are soothingly dressed in a palette that pays homage to the hotel’s namesake herb, warmed with wood finishes and refined mid-century-modern touches. The original beams, spacious bathroom and top-floor setting of the Prestige Room makes it best in class. Junior Suites have a luxurious set-up with a single bedroom across the hallway from the main boudoir. Family Rooms bring together two Superior Rooms for clans en vacances.

Packing tips

No need to bring reading materials with you; Salvia is well stocked with literature you can borrow, in a nod to its locale’s academic credentials.

Address
Salvia
16 Rue Cujas
Paris
75005
France

Salvia hotel sits in the French capital’s Latin Quarter, a saunter from the Sorbonne in the 5th arrondissement.

Planes

Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airports are around 45 minutes and an hour away from the hotel by car respectively.

Trains

Luxembourg is your closest RER station. For Eurostar arrivals, Gare du Nord is around 10 minutes by Métro from Salvia (using RER line B).

Automobiles

You won’t need a set of wheels in this well-connected capital, but for those determined to drive, there is paid street parking, and covered carpark Parking Indigo Paris Soufflot-Panthéon is a two-minute walk from the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

From your basecamp in the 5th arrondissement at Salvia, you’re a couple of blocks back from the fountain- and deckchair-dotted Jardin du Luxembourg, and the classic sights such as Musée d’Orsay, the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are easily reached. Closer to base, the intellect of 19th-century mathematician Henri Poincaré may feel inaccessible, but Maison Poincaré museum opens the door to understanding how maths informs so many other disciplines and demands no more than an hour of your time. At Musée Curie, it’s radiological research that comes under examination, exploring namesake Marie’s legacy (open Wednesday to Saturday). You can walk to Notre-Dame cathedral from Salvia, where the exhibition about its restoration is as awe-prompting as its stained glass. A guided bicycle tour of the Seine’s monuments is a step-free hack for when you tire of sightseeing à pied.  

Local restaurants

A classic brasserie in looks, Au Port du Salut is tipped by Salvia’s concierge for its esteemed wine list and accompanying Gallic grazing plates. In an art-nouveau dining room, Le Balzar dishes pan-fried scallops, steak-frîtes, hearty cassoulets and feather-light chocolate soufflés from a menu that’s a love letter to French classics; Bouillon Racine, too, flaunts similar appeal and fare — only on a grander scale.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this herbaceously titled hotel on the Rive Gauche and unpacked their chartreuse and macarons, a full account of their City of Lights break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Salvia in Paris… 

A storied stay beside the Sorbonne in Paris’s 5th arrondissement, soon-to-open boutique hotel Salvia was destined to take a studious approach to hospitality.  

As well as offering university views from some of its genteel-townhouse-set bedrooms, this grade-A pied-à-terre nods to the Latin Quarter’s literary heritage with panache. There’s a curated selection of books to borrow, interiors that are a masterclass in mid-century-modern warmth and name-nodding shades of sage, and refined concierge listings that pass the taste test with flying colours.  

Lingering over coffee and croissants in the lounge each morning, note that this convivial space will soon be home to a restaurant and wine bar — allowing Salvia to graduate into a ravishing Rive Gauche retreat with crowd-pleasing gastronomic creds, too.
