Local area & transport
Cradle of chic
Situated in Rue Lauriston, Hôtel L’Ormaie is right at the heart of elegantly noble surroundings. From the top of the Chaillot hill, between the Place de l’Étoile and Place du Trocadéro, Hôtel L’Ormaie is an invitation to ply the chic avenues, historical, artistic and gastronomic places in the area. This is the spirit of the 16th arrondissement, which respectfully honours its, in many cases, legendary past and energetically promotes its lively present, with charm that surprises even Parisians in the know.
16th arrondissement
Plethora of walks
Just a stone’s throw from Hôtel L’Ormaie, you can set your compass for all directions, to take in the feel of the most majestic sites of Paris on foot. On one side, there is Trocadéro and the esplanade, with a wide perspective of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower. On the other, the Arc de Triomphe overlooking the Champs-Elysées, which now has its own cycle paths. On the same track, there’s Rue de la Pompe and Avenue Henri-Martin, steeped in both history and memory, sculpted fronts, and architectural curios. Then there’s Avenue Victor Hugo and its many luxury ready-to-wear clothing, vintage jewellery and home decoration stores. At all events, in the vicinity of Hôtel L’Ormaie, the history and culture and unique cachet of this part of Paris await.
