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.
Also
Salvia is a former hotel that’s been completely gutted and renovated by the highly capable Rive Gauche Hotels group, whose Hotel Saint André des Arts is also Smith-approved.
Pet‐friendly
Sorry, pooch: Salvia is not a dog-friendly hotel. See more pet-friendly hotels in Paris.
Children
Very welcome; Salvia has Family Rooms and connecting options. Baby cots, changing stations and highchairs can be provided. Beyond this, there’s no dedicated kit for kids, making Salvia best suited to older children or babes in arms.
Sustainability efforts
Salvia’s sustainability efforts are extensive: suppliers are audited for their sustainable and social commitments, and are local where possible, backed by a hotel-wide purchasing policy that follows these priorities. At reception, you’ll find information about public transport and bicycle hire, to promote travel with a lighter carbon footprint. Staff are trained annually on sustainable practices and the hotel will carry out regular audits of operations to identify areas for improvement. Energy- and water-saving measures have been incorporated into Salvia’s refurbishment, there’s a stringent waste management and recycling plan. Bath products are full-size and refillable, and Salvia eschews bottled water in favour of a fountain offering cold, sparkling and room temperature micro-filtered water. The hotel is also working towards Ecolabel certification.
