A Haussmann address near Saint-Lazare

Set in an elegant Haussmann building a few steps from Gare Saint-Lazare and a fifteen-minute walk from the Opéra, the Hotel Mayflower carries the discreet charm of Parisian chic. A four-star boutique hotel in the sought-after 8th arrondissement, it is a genuine cocoon for travellers after character, comfort and elegance.

A small house with personal service

Since it opened in 2015, the Hotel Mayflower has cultivated a French art of living, carried by a loyal and attentive team. Every visitor is welcomed as a guest in a family house, with professionalism and warmth. The service is discreet, warm and tailored: a buffet or continental breakfast in a room full of light, a tea or a coffee available through the day, and a friendly pause at the honesty bar, open until 23:00.

The Hotel Mayflower Opera offers a calm and cosy atmosphere, away from the noise of the city. In fine weather, its inner patio, set with garden furniture, becomes the best place to have breakfast or to work in peace thanks to the coworking space.

Rooms with a Parisian polish

The interiors win you over with the balance between traditional architecture and contemporary design. Herringbone parquet, preserved mouldings, a fine wooden staircase, furniture with clean lines and designer lighting all combine into a refined and welcoming mood. The 54 rooms and junior suites offer high-end comfort and careful decoration, in the Parisian chic register, and they are spotless and very quiet.

A breakfast built on local produce

At the Hotel Mayflower the day starts gently. Every morning, guests sit down to a generous breakfast served in an elegantly redecorated room, full of natural light and open onto a charming planted patio. When the weather allows, that inner garden becomes the quiet stage for an open-air start to the day, far from the noise of the city.

The buffet is carefully put together and leans on local flavours and quality produce from growers in the Île-de-France. Crisp croissants, fresh breads from the bakery L’Étoile du Berger, delicately flavoured house pastries with coconut, pineapple or date and banana, protected-origin cheeses such as Brie de Meaux and Comté, farm yoghurts, artisan jams and honey from the Sologne will please the most demanding palates.

Those after something fresher will enjoy the pressed fruit juices, orange, apple and grapefruit, along with the vegetarian plates, the light salads and the range of organic cereals. A sweet note comes from the seasonal cakes, lemon, orange or chocolate, made by the Parisian pâtisserie La Meringaie.

Every element is designed to offer a moment of pleasure, energy and calm, whether you are starting a working day or a day out in Paris. Room service is also available on request, for anyone who wants to stay a little longer in their own cocoon.
