For half a century, the San Regis has been a favorite of the fashion and Hollywood scene thanks to Carmel Snow, the influential editor in chief of Harper’s Bazaar US from the thirties to the fifties who hired Diana Vreeland and who in 1947 pronounced the words “New Look” referring to Christian Dior collection ; she was a regular in the hotel. The reputation of this discreet hotel became international and hosted American Lauren Bacall, Gene Kelly or Jacqueline Bisset and Romy Schneider.
Hotel San Régis Paris, 12 rue Jean Goujon.
In 1984, Elie Georges, art lover and collector bought the property and made it a 5 star hotel with his two brothers. Today, the family-run hotel is owned and managed by Sarah and Zeina Georges, his two daughters. The elegant neoclassical façade invites guests to a Parisian, warm and cozy atmosphere. Far away from the bustle of the city, here you can disconnect, relax, and feel like in a private residence.

The property was closed for many years for renovation. George’s sisters have been working with architect Aude Gros-Rosanvallon who trained with well known Pierre Yves Rochon – the one behind The Four Seasons George V or The Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat. The San Regis offers 30 rooms and 12 suites, each one having its unique decor. Inside, Louis XV or Louis XVI furniture is mixed with antique personal art collection and modern touches of design. The rooms are in the shades of blue, yellow gold or red.
