When the May bank holidays pave the way for long weekends, Paris becomes an ideal destination for a spring getaway. The days get longer, the terraces come alive, and the capital’s historic streets invite you to take a stroll. To enjoy this special moment in a unique setting, the Madame Rêve hotel is the place to be, right in the heart of the 1st arrondissement.
May weekends in Paris: enjoy the Madame Rêve experience
A perfect location for discovering everything on foot
Housed in the iconic Poste du Louvre building, at 48 rue du Louvre, Madame Rêve offers an exceptional central location. Just a stone’s throw from the Louvre Museum, Les Halles, rue Saint-Honoré, the Marais and the banks of the Seine, it’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the soul of Paris, without ever having to take the metro.
The charm of spring makes every walk even more enjoyable. Stroll through the covered galleries, take a break on the benches in the garden of the Palais Royal, or push on to the Ile de la Cité. The whole of Paris is within easy walking distance, giving your weekend a gentle, spontaneous rhythm.
Spring on the hotel’s balconies and terraces
The arrival of fine weather reveals the full potential of the hotel’s outdoor spaces. More than half of the 82 rooms and suites have private balconies or terraces, a rare luxury in Paris.
Imagine breakfast served in your room, savoured sheltered from the wind on your terrace, while the city wakes up. The rooftops of Paris stretch out before you, the golden light of morning reveals the church of Saint-Eustache, and the spring atmosphere envelops the scene in a gentle tranquillity.
To prolong these moments, head to the ROOF rooftop, a 1,000 m² suspended garden, a veritable jewel case of greenery perched at the top of the hotel. Cherry blossom trees, ornamental trees, elegant furniture, panoramic views of the capital’s iconic monuments: everything has been thought of to offer you a timeless interlude. Reserved for hotel guests during the day, this magical place becomes a trendy bar in the evening, where refined cocktails and finger food can be enjoyed to the rhythm of Paris.
Two culinary worlds to satisfy every craving
During a long weekend, gastronomy holds a special place. Madame Rêve offers two culinary experiences that are as seductive as they are complementary.
Kitchen, on the ground floor, opens onto a spectacular space combining Belle Époque heritage and contemporary spirit. The room impresses with its spaciousness – 300 m² and 8 metre ceilings – and its refinement: chandeliers, Pierre Frey velvet, made-to-measure furniture. The menu, available throughout the day, revisits the great classics of French cuisine with a modern twist.
La Plume, on the top floor, combines local and international cuisine with a breathtaking panoramic view. Lunch on the leafy patio or a candlelit dinner overlooking the illuminated Paris skyline are unforgettable moments to celebrate a weekend with your partner, friends or family.
An ethical and contemporary philosophy
Madame Rêve is also a responsible hotel, part of a sustainable approach that respects its environment. With HQE and BREEAM certification, the establishment has been designed to minimise its ecological impact. Thermal insulation, rational resource management, hot water production via solar panels, limited use of baths, waste recycling: nothing has been left to chance.
This commitment reinforces the feeling of staying in a place that is in tune with the times, looking to the future without denying the elegance of its heritage.
In brief
For a May weekend in Paris, Madame Rêve combines central location, iconic architecture, sunny terraces, high-end gastronomy and contemporary wellbeing. Whether you want to discover the city on foot, reconnect with yourself, celebrate an occasion or simply enjoy the spring, this 5-star hotel promises an unforgettable moment.
