The Best Paris Hotels for Every Zodiac Sign

Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Elton John—all daring, confident and bright stars born under Aries. Hôtel Molitor Paris – MGallery in the 16th arrondissement is a perfect Parisian pick for them. The circa-1929, ocean-liner-inspired building with two central swimming pools is equally iconic—the first bikini debuted here in 1946, and it was a public place to see and be seen for six decades. Restored as a hotel in 2014, Molitor’s brightness is back, complete with canary-yellow walls, bright-blue doors and colorful art, including a graffitied car that pays homage to the years the abandoned property acted as a canvas for street artists.

Sensual Taureans love comfort and serenity and on those the Shangri-La Paris delivers. Suites feature sumptuous fabrics, including big chenille and velvet couches to sink into. Then there’s the CHI Spa, built around a 17-metre swimming pool basked in natural light with a green terrace just outside. The treatments offered are pinnacle self-care—one of many massages offered utilizes a singing bowl for a deeper, resonant state of release and relaxation.

Both sides of eclectic Gemini are satisfied at Hotel Barriere Le Fouquet’s Paris. Choose a suite with a clean, neutral palette or one with pops of show-stopping red. The Twins will take fondly to all the bold social spaces—be it Le Joy’s conversational alcoves and walls of books or the legendary Brasserie facing the Champs-Élysées where June-born Josephine Baker also dined nearly a century ago.

Cancers tend to favor cozy, considered and private accommodations, and when in Paris, they can count on Mandarin Oriental for all that. Set in the 1^st arrondissement on rue Saint-Honoré, the hotel features particularly sumptuous Signature Suites which are soundproofed for utmost peace and quiet, and many include private terraces ensconced in lush greenery.

Every stripe of animal print in one room. Fuchsia carpet with matching drapes and chaise. With interiors by award-winning designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, Hotel Keppler definitely gives off bold, glamorous, lavish Leo vibes. Fitting too, that the Lion of the zodiac likes to be the center of attention and this hotel sits firmly in central Paris.

One of the Sofitel Le Scribe touches that really sings to a Virgo is how the Opera Suite’s closet is perfectly concealed within the wall—this zodiac sign thrives in a smartly organized room. The rest of the hotel’s design follows suit, with choices that feel both immaculate and captivatingly interesting, at once classic and boldly modern, which are words that one could also use to describe Beyoncé and Zendaya, two of the world’s most iconic Virgos.

The stunning symmetry of the Sofitel Paris le Faubourg lobby alone will visually please balanced and harmony-loving Libra. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, beauty and money, Librans adore the finer things and this 8^th arrondissement hotel, with its fabulous florals, gilded accents and proximity to luxury shopping, definitely fits the bill. Undoubtedly, the sign will adore a little time spent in the Library, sipping tea (or spilling it) and flipping through all the fashion, travel and art books.

Enigmatic, seductive, mysterious—if the Scorpio stereotype is to be believed than Sinner embodies it. In the hip Marais district, the hotel delights in contrasts and juxtapositions, with dark hallways, dripping candles, a ‘70s palette and plenty of surprises. The Justine Suite especially sets a sultry mood with its fur throw draped over a leather Togo sofa, charcoal walls and crimson-tiled bathtub. You definitely won’t have a boring night with this one.

Known to be one of the most adventurous, nature- and travel-loving signs, a Sagittarius will undoubtedly be chuffed with Brach. Along with natural furnishings and finishes, the 16^th arrondissement boutique hotel is adorned with eclectic objets d’arte that make it feel as though it’s the home base of a world traveler. The rooftop garden is a verdant oasis, complete with herbs, fruits and vegetables to supply the kitchen, cocktail bar, Norwegian bath and hen house to keep novelty-seeking Sagittarians enthralled.

Capricorns appreciate the classic, functional and well-crafted, and The Peninsula Paris is all that. A Cap knows good things take time, and both the location and the brand have a long, respected history in hospitality—the Haussmannian structure has served as a hotel since 1908 and The Peninsula Hotels brand that now owns it has been in business since 1928. The zodiac’s hardest-working sign may also appreciate that many rooms include a desk just steps from bed.

As COOL HUNTING’s Editor at Large David Graver wrote, “SO/ Paris doesn’t feel like any other hotel in the French capital.” In other words, eccentric, artsy, innovative Aquarius will adore it. The hotel’s location on the banks of the Seine is fitting for this water bearer-represented sign, as is its gallery-inspired design—Aquarians like collecting inspiring artwork—which includes a mirrored-ceiling installation by Olafur Eliasson in the rooftop restaurant and nightclub, Bonnie.

Sensitive, romantic, fantasy-minded Pisces is sure to fall in love with Cour des Vosges. Occupying a historic mansion in the Marais district, this boutique hotel (truly, there are only 12 rooms) is a kind of time travel with its scintillating blend of 17th-century and 1970s design. The pied-à-terre-style accommodations feature plush velvet chairs, original terracotta floors, stacks of books and, in some, deep, soaking tubs that seem made for daydreaming sessions.
