SO/ Paris

My husband and I were here for 4 nights in July and absolutely loved it. It was his first time in Paris and I wanted a place that was fun, well-located, and with something a little unique. This fit the bill. I was primarily drawn to the hotel because of the views it offered of Paris, both from the bar/ restaurant as well as from the rooms. These views did not disappoint. I reserved the Icon room, that guaranteed a view of the Seine and of the monuments/ Eiffel Tower. It did not disappoint. Our room was compact but very comfortable and stylish. Very comfortable bed, an amazing view (especially when the Eiffel Tower was lit up at night - beautiful) and lovely. One thing - the bathroom is kind of open, with limited privacy. That said, the shower with its rain shower option was excellent. Strong and great pressure. Loved the toiletries. Juliette checked us in and was lovely. I used the gym a few times and it was great. We also had breakfast in the Bonnie restaurant every day. Food always delicious, many options both on the buffet as well as prepared, and staff helpful and happy. We also had dinner with some friends at Bonnie one night and loved it. Great food options, friendly staff, great view. And had drinks at the bar a few times. Amazing view, good drinks, and great staff. Overall I really loved this hotel. One thing though. My understanding is that they use to have a relationship with the separate fitness club that's also in the building, and that when they had that relationship guests could use the club's pool. My understanding is that that relationship has ended, so you cant use the pool anymore... but at the elevators on the main level there is a sign for the pool. They should erase that sign. Other than that, I loved this hotel. Its location on the edge of the Marais is perfect for people who are okay with using the metro to get places and want to be in a neighborhood that's a bit more local and not so overrun with tourists. I loved this hotel and will be back.

7 stars, have never had a hotel provide face serum (a €39 bottle’s worth) as part of its turndown service. Breakfast is varied, high quality, with a spectacular view. Bar is a must visit. And the Eiffel Tower view rooms have a clear view of the lights at night. Wonderful location next to the river and friendly staff. Room was large, shower was outstanding, bed was super comfortable, wifi speed 200 Mbps.

Had a wonderful weekend stay in this hotel. Booked as a birthday treat for my partner. Staff were very welcoming and helpful, especially Leo. There was a surprise chocolate cake and card waiting in the room on arrival for my partners birthday, nice touch snd appreciated, and then a delicious boxed chocolate at turn down which I claimed. The rooms are large and packed with amenities. Loved the giant comfy bed which we sunk into and had a great sleep. The A/C was amazing as the weather was hot and sticky and bonus, the windows open too, allowing plenty of fresh air in. Bathroom area is well equipped with lots of lovely toiletries, large powerful shower, plenty of storage and extra bits and bobs. Lots of tea and coffee supplies and complimentary soft drinks in the mini bar. Due to circumstances, we spent more time in the room than planned and had to have in room dining. Room service were helpful, efficient and fast. The food quality was very good and big portions. The table was also promptly collected once we'd finished. Very impressive. We visited the restaurant and roofbar and peeked into the nightclub. On another review. The hotels location is perfect, steps away from a metro, the river as we usually stay in the Left Bank, and the Bastille monument. I found some of the little cafes nearby charming and not touristy. Think we've found a new preferred area and hotel.

Highly recommend! Staff friendly, helpful, happy to speak English and they go the extra mile. Smart elevators take you to your floor with just a scan of your room key! Our 14th floor King room was very comfortable! Quiet! Bathroom and shower clean and well lit. We loved the room light controls of various settings easily accessed from bedside. The view was fantastic! It’s the tallest building in the neighborhood. Location is very close to the river, Notre Dame, Saint Chapelle and numerous wonderful shops, bakeries and restaurants. We love walking and so much is within 30 min walk. The restaurant, Bonnie, has incredible view on 15th floor and serves fantastic breakfasts with ordered hot dishes and buffet of great variety of healthy options and gluten free options (we noticed but do not require gluten free) Dinner at Bonnie is highly recommended and met and exceeded our expectations. We are a professional couple with high standards and know high end hotels. This is one of them!

Perched confidently on the banks of the Seine in Paris’s 4th arrondissement, SO/ Paris is a bold reimagination of a 1960s administrative tower turned haute hospitality, where sweeping views meet striking interiors. As the 10th property in Accor’s SO/ collection, it opened its doors in summer 2022 with spaces crafted by RDAI and David Chipperfield Architects, merging retro-futuristic energy with polished Parisian chic. It’s an aesthetic triumph—daring without being brash, refined without losing edge. The 162 rooms and suites occupy floors 7 through 14, and I stayed in an Iconic – Paris Skyline Room on the 13th, a 28m² haven designed by Didier Gomez. Think soft neutral palettes, plush carpeting underfoot, and warm wood tones that whisper understated luxury. Two lounge chairs, a coffee table, king-size bed, and generous wardrobe round out the space, while thoughtful tech like a flat-screen TV, sound system, and Nespresso machine lend contemporary comfort. The open-plan bathroom boasts a large rain shower, heated towel rack, single sink, and CODAGE toiletries—a Parisian indulgence. The toilet sits separately, preserving privacy. Daily housekeeping—twice daily, in fact—includes turndown service with bottled water and charming extras. A sweet touch: two small cakes awaited me upon arrival. Where SO/ Paris truly excels is in its skyline seduction. Towering windows frame the Seine, Eiffel Tower, and rooftop tapestry of Paris like an ever-changing art piece. From rosy dawns to blue twilight, the view never disappoints. Breakfast is served at Bonnie Restaurant on the 15th floor—a stylish perch with potential. The modest buffet selection includes cold cuts, smoked salmon, pastries, fruit, yoghurt, and cheeses, with à la carte options like Eggs Benedict and Crêpes included. Sadly, the experience faltered: dishes arrived cold, staff engagement was lackluster, and guests were inexplicably barred from dining on the stunning terrace despite perfect weather, resulting in cramped indoor seating. Bonnie redeems itself slightly at lunch and dinner, serving elegant contemporary French fare with global accents: lobster linguine, black angus ribeye, and seasonal seafood grace a panoramic plate. Up one level, Bonnie Bar & Club kicks into high gear with signature cocktails and a retro-glam aesthetic that channels 60s and 70s Paris—complete with electro-disco nights and sweeping views. Disappointingly, the spa and pool facilities have vanished—outsourced without access for hotel guests, yet signage misleadingly suggests otherwise. A sleek fitness center has been set up on the 7th floor: high-tech, daylight-filled, and open 24/7, with cardio equipment, free weights, and Scandinavian-style machines. Final Verdict: SO/ Paris dazzles with bold design and epic views, but falters where it shouldn’t: inattentive service, missteps at breakfast, and absent amenities undermine its luxury aspirations. It's a magnetic property with untapped potential—one that invites you to look out at Paris, yet leaves you wishing it looked inward with the same clarity.
