Inaugurated in 1929, Molitor was the most popular pool club in Paris for six decades. This year, it rose from its ashes in the guise of a resort of extreme refinement. Parisians rub shoulders with travellers in this unusual club-hotel blending contemporary architecture with Art Deco features. They come for an hour or several nights, visiting the Spa by Clarins, the pools, gym, bar, the restaurant orchestrated by multi star-rated chef Yannick Alléno, the roof terrace, sometimes staying in one of the 104 rooms and 20 suites signed MGallery, a reference for esthetics in the hotel sector. 8 avenue de la Porte Molitor, Paris 16 (01 56 07 08 50).
