The festive season is here, and there’s no better place in Paris to experience its whimsical magic than at La Fantaisie.
Imagine gorgeous holiday decorations, fun surprises, and amazing food—all in a setting that’s effortlessly chic. If a winter escape to the City of Lights is on your mind, La Fantaisie is ready to make this holiday season one to remember. After spending a weekend at La Fantaisie, here’s a little peek at what makes this hotel so full of festive charm.
As soon as you walk into La Fantaisie this holiday season, you’re welcomed by the creative brilliance of Lisa Gachet, one of France’s favorite designers known for her fun, eclectic style. Picture a space filled with vibrant colors, playful touches, and elegant design, where every little detail is thoughtfully crafted to bring joy.
The hotel’s festive transformation is nothing short of magical. Inspired by the property’s unique character—luxury meets poetry—Lisa infuses her signature style into every element. Silk, satin, and velvet bows (yes, actual bows!) are draped throughout, adding a sense of whimsy and sophistication. Each bow feels like a tender reminder of the joy and warmth of the season.
But the pièce de résistance? A giant Advent calendar, designed with a striking pink-and-red palette, truly steals the show. It’s unapologetically bold, festive, and utterly chic. Placed prominently near the hotel’s entrance, the calendar is more than impressive decor—it’s also your key to a world of surprises.
Between December 1st and January 7th, both guests and local Parisians will have the chance to unlock the magic of the Advent calendar. Every day, visitors will be issued a key. One lucky keyholder will get to open a special box from the Advent calendar—a surprise waiting inside.
Unwrapping gifts such as luxurious Holidermie skincare products, bottles of champagne, indulgent gourmet meals, or for the truly fortunate, a weekend stay at La Fantaisie itself. It’s like having a touch of Christmas morning excitement every single day.
La Fantaisie brings you an unforgettable dining experience with three unique spots to choose from. The Café serves up refreshing, feel-good dishes all day in a lively Parisian vibe. The Restaurant puts a fresh twist on classic favorites with its contemporary menu, while Bar sur le Toit treats you to amazing rooftop views and cocktails that take things up a notch.
Of course, no stay at La Fantaisie would be complete without venturing beyond the hotel’s doors to explore the vibrant Montmartre, one of Paris’s most artistic and historic neighborhoods. I spent an afternoon wandering its cobblestone streets, visiting the iconic Sacré-Cœur, and browsing the small art galleries and boutiques.
