Molitor
Art Deco heritage meets Parisian street art. Athletic, wellness-forward, and design-conscious rather than classically luxe. The pools are the soul of the place.
Ask for a room with the signature porthole window overlooking the outdoor pool — it's a uniquely Molitor experience you won't find elsewhere in Paris
Why It Matters
A genuine Paris landmark reborn. The indoor and outdoor pools are original 1929 Art Deco structures. Over 100 street art installations by pioneers like Hopare, Bradley Theodore, and Mademoiselle Maurice cover the cabins and corridors. Europe's largest hotel spa, operated by Clarins, occupies 1,600m² on site.
Piscine Molitor has one of Paris's most compelling origin stories. The Art Deco pool complex opened in 1929, Johnny Weissmuller reportedly trained here before his Olympic gold medals, and street artists colonised the abandoned building through the 1990s after it closed in 1989. Today it's a five-star hotel with 124 rooms, all looking out over those same historic pools. The 16th arrondissement location is genuinely far from central Paris — Notre-Dame is not walkable — but for Roland Garros or Parc des Princes visitors, this sits directly on the doorstep.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Deluxe Room
A step up in size and a guaranteed pool view — no 'subject to availability' caveat here. The King bed and slightly more breathing room make a meaningful difference for a multi-night stay.
King-size · 26 sqm
Executive Room
30m² gives you proper space to spread out. Pool or city views, and the option of a shower or bathtub depending on which room you land. Good choice if you want more room without jumping to suite prices.
King-size · 30 sqmExecutive Room with Iconic Porthole Window
Same footprint as the standard Executive, but with the signature feature: a circular porthole window looking directly onto the outdoor pool, topped by a glass roof. It's the most photographed room in the hotel for a reason.
King-size · 30 sqm
Executive Room with Terrace
The private 80m² terrace is the headline here — a rare thing in Paris. City views, not pool views, but the outdoor space more than compensates. Shower and bathtub both included.
King-size · 35 sqmFamily Room
At 52m² with two separate bathrooms, this is the family-friendly option. Consists of connecting Superior rooms. Soft drinks stocked in the minibar rather than alcoholic.
Multiple · 52 sqmLa Grande Suite
The largest room in the house at 60m². Separate bedroom, separate living room, and a Paris city view rather than pool view. Laid out like a proper Parisian apartment. Note: this one faces the city, not the pools.
Queen-size · 60 sqmPool Suite
50m² with a separate living room makes this feel properly apartment-like. Pool views, sofa bed for extra guests, and a full bathroom with both shower and tub. Good for long stays or when you need the extra lounge space.
King-size · 50 sqmPool Suite with Balcony
Same generous layout as the Pool Suite but adds a 5m² balcony with two sun loungers suspended above the outdoor pool. The balcony is small, but the views are excellent — and having morning coffee poolside from your own private perch is hard to beat.
King-size · 50 sqmSuperior Room
The entry point at Molitor, and yes, 22m² is compact for a five-star. But the pool-facing views redeem it completely. From the Queen-size bed you look directly down onto the Art Deco outdoor pool and its signature blue cabins.
