The Spa at Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg

"At the end of a long day meandering through the neighbourhood’s upscale boutiques, head to the spa for a personalised treatment, or have a bite to eat in chef Yannick Alleno’s restaurant, where a ‘patisserie library’ allows diners to add their own twist to the kitchen’s high-wire desserts"

"Other conveniences include a spa with steam showers and massage rooms, a fitness room, a gastronomic restaurant and a bar livened up by the sound of a piano at night"

"The spa is next to the fitness room, but double doors create a barrier of silence"

"Limited but thoughtful recreation includes a small spa with a new gym, mens and women's steam rooms, and treatment rooms for massage"
