Perched above the hum of Paris’s Left Bank, Hôtel Dame Des Arts has thrown open the doors to its Rooftop Bar just in time for sunnier days and those long, golden evenings.
It’s not just a bar—it’s a little slice of escapism, high above the city, where you can breathe, unwind, and feel like you’ve hit pause on the chaos below.
With a lush garden setting and sweeping 360-degree views of the skyline—from Montmartre to Notre Dame—you’ll feel like you’ve strolled straight into a postcard.
There’s the Eiffel Tower, too, silhouetted against the evening sky as the day gently fades. This season, the Rooftop draws inspiration from the carefree spirit of Il Dolce Farniente, or “the sweetness of doing nothing,” inviting guests to pause and soak in the city’s energy while indulging in a slower pace.
Combined with the hotel’s brand-new restaurant, Pimpan, an evening at Hôtel Dame Des Arts brings together the vibrant hum of Paris with a moment of unhurried grace.
At the Rooftop Bar, you can savour reimagined classics like a mango and orange wine Spritz, a truffle-infused Negroni, or an iced rum espresso martini.
Shareable plates—think truffle Arancini, creamy Stracciatella, fragrant Mortadella, perfectly toasted Bruschettas, and golden Focaccia—make the experience as convivial as it is delicious.
And there’s no shortage of atmosphere: “There’s no rush here – just the simple pleasure of watching the sunset over the city, drink in hand.”
An Evening in the Dame Des Arts Spirit
When dinner calls, follow the pathway to Pimpan, the hotel’s secluded restaurant that opened in February. Here, Chef Clément Courtemanche, who was awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2023 and 2024, interprets French gastronomy with playful global influences.
His concise, frequently updated menu is a storybook of the seasons—each dish rooted in respect for ingredients and the shared pleasure of good food.
You might begin with “Avocat (grilled avocado, clementines, pickles and toasted crisps)” or try the “Lieu Jaune (grilled pollock on the plancha, celery root risotto and maltaise sauce).”
This thoughtful approach to “Bistronomie” offers an elevated yet unpretentious evening, perfectly complementing the panoramic magic of the Rooftop Bar.
Rooms at Hôtel Dame Des Arts start from £246 per night for a Classic room, breakfast included. For more information or to book your stay, visit www.damedesarts.com.
