Hotel Banke

This 5* property is housed in a former bank just steps from Paris Opéra Garnier and chic luxury shopping district. A perfection of discretion, its exterior whispers not a word of the opulence of its gilted interior decor and the original glass cupola that crowns the majestic lobby. The Madrid-based family who owns this Derby Collection of luxury hotels, are art aficionados. So, throughout the hotel you will find a priceless collection of historical jewelry artifacts from diverse cultures: Roman, Buddhist, pre-Columbian, Egyptian and African. The original mosaic-tiled floor and the ornate marble throughout the structure have been preserved during the renovation from bank to luxury hotel as has the authentic wooden-elevator. A spa with steamroom and sauna is available on the 2nd floor and breakfast served, with complimentary Cava, daily. Leather couches in superior suites, jacuzzi baths, complimentary wine all add that extra-bit. Restaurant and bar are also on-premise.
