Rooms

Cardinal de Fürstemberg’s unique personality is the inspiration for its unequivocally comfortable décor, which is peppered with myriad subtly bold touches. The Master Bedroom is the perfect place for enchantment and reverie, with its hushed plush gold and cardinal velvet. The oak panelling and sparkling pendants add to the feeling of privacy and never fail to surprise: raise the curtain, the adjoining bathroom is a revelation… with its stunning view overlooking the lounge.

In the same vein as this laid-back opulence, the other two, enchanting, bedrooms are monastic in size only. In the hollow of two small wraparound alcoves, the soft cosy bed, in turn, will ensure a good night’s sleep filled with dreams beyond the centuries. In their respective shower rooms, the marble mosaics and the row of lancet mirrors are a reminder that resolutely refined luxury has a flair for being both classic and discreet.

Living areas

Endowed with a true sense of harmony and History, Maison Cardinal Furstemberg opens its doors wide to guests appreciate the charm of a heritage cultivated over the centuries. The residence has stood the test of time like no other, exuding unique cachet, whose every detail sublimates its grace from surprise to intrigue.

Echoing the opulence cherished by Cardinal Guillaume-Egon de Fürstemberg, is the majestic Lounge: high ceilings, stately library, trompe-l'œil vaults, lattice ironwork door, Cosmatesque chess table, lavish flooring, and antechamber for confidences. From the wainscoting to the purple damask, the lounge reveals the ultimate in exquisite comfort to our discerning guests, who will delight in this privilege.
Over the centuries, the imperial-style Meeting Room has remained true to its name, as it is a befitting setting for both working and getting together with other inveterate gourmets at the dining table. Out of consideration for the man who gave his name to the neighbouring Rue Bonaparte, this plush room pays a loosely adapted tribute to Napoleon.

Apart from the precious reminiscences of the past, everyone will however feel quiet at home in the present day: the Kitchen, with its relaxed open-plan bar design is fitted out with resolutely 21st-century equipment, including a sophisticated sound system and full connectivity, which offer tailor-made enjoyment during your stay.

Alcoves of wellness

Today, the only religion that is observed here is perhaps wellness, in the greatest discretion. A short flight of stairs will take you there. Go for a dip in the Roman pool then walk into the steam of the hammam, and the most poetic of secrets, for this haven of relaxation set in vaulted cellars to Saint-Germain-des-Prés Abbey, via a hidden tunnel. At the time, the Cardinal took great pains to have a secret passageway dug out, where he could come and go, observe and spy on proceedings, as he saw fit.

What would he have thought of the truly venial sin of coquetry? In practice, indulging yourself in a little self-pampering is nothing short of honourable at Maison Cardinal Furstemberg. The Beauty room features an array of professional fixtures and fittings, which include an ideally lit dressing-room mirror, a shampoo basin and a barber’s chair, in addition to a massage table ready for use by expert hands. As committing to a healthy body can involve a challenging workout, the Fitness room is also equipped with a range of exercise machines that will challenge even the most exacting of users.

Here, you will find the iconic terraces of the Deux Magots and Flore, the BDM (Bar du Marché), and the photogenic Place de Fürstenberg and its labyrinth of streets with intriguing names, each with its plethora of “in” clubs and restaurants, highly desirable luxury goods Houses, art galleries and publishers, all in the spirit of the age.
