About Louison
The mansion that’s now home to Hôtel Louison has a history any Parisian hotelier would kill for: it’s on this site, between the Quartier Latin and Raspail-Montparnasse, that Madame de Maintenon played the role of governess to the children of Louis XIV. And while in lesser hands such a colorful story might provoke an excessively backward-looking aesthetic, the Louison is every inch a contemporary boutique hotel, where modern comforts and design live comfortably alongside flourishes from the past. Luxurious details elevate the rooms from typical boutique-hotel fare, and their various styles lend them an unusually memorable individuality. Nor is Hôtel Louison content to be merely photogenic. The hotel’s staff takes pride in delivering warm and attentive service, and the atmosphere throughout is satisfyingly private and serene. A house-made breakfast buffet includes local and organic products as well as gluten-free options, and the Cocon is a wellness area offering yoga, Pilates, and massage. Add to all of this an excellent location, with much of the best of the Left Bank at your feet, and you’ve got the makings of a very fine hospitality experience.
