Norman
Mid-century modernist. Graphic prints, geometric carpets, rosewood headboards, leather chairs, mosaic-lined marble bathrooms. Warm but never fussy. Feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend's apartment than a hotel.
Book the Junior Suite Corner for a balcony, larger footprint (35 sqm), and clever open-wardrobe design at a slightly lower price than the full Junior Suite
Why It Matters
One Michelin Key. The only Paris boutique hotel dedicated to the work of Norman Ives. Cult Thai-French chef Thiou runs the restaurant on-site. Part of the Olivier Bertrand hotel group (also owns Saint James Paris and Relais Christine). Member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
Named after mid-century American graphic artist Norman Ives — not Normandy — this 37-room boutique hotel opened in 2023 in Paris's 8th arrondissement, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe. Interior designer Thomas Vidalenc drew from Ives's typographic modernism and the swinging Paris of the 1960s, landing somewhere between private collector's apartment and private club. It holds one Michelin Key.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Cozy Room
The entry-level room at 20–22 sqm. Small by any standard outside Paris, but every square metre is accounted for with hardwood floors, wool curtains, leather details, and abstract paintings nodding to Norman Ives. For one or two guests.
Queen · 21 sqm
Deluxe Room
At 31 sqm with a king bed, this is where the Norman starts to feel genuinely spacious. Geometric-patterned carpets, rosewood headboards, mosaic-lined marble bathroom with soaking tub or rain shower.
King · 31 sqm
Junior Suite
At 38 sqm with a balcony, this is a solid choice for those wanting outdoor space without committing to the higher suite tiers. Accommodates up to 3 guests. Can connect with a Superior Room for families of up to 5.
Queen · 38 sqm
Junior Suite Corner
At 35 sqm, slightly smaller than the regular Junior Suite but a corner position means two exposures and a proper balcony. The open-storage wardrobe is a clever design move. Reviewed warmly by guests for its clever layout and natural light.
Queen · 35 sqmSky Suite
The hotel's top-tier offering. Spread across two levels on the top floor at 57–58 sqm, with a living room, twin bedroom and bathroom on the main floor, and a master bedroom with large windows on the upper level. Balconies on both floors with city views. Sunrise views from the master. Sleeps up to 4 guests.
King · 57 sqmSuite

King · 45 sqmSuperior Room
Ranging 20–24 sqm, this is a step up in size and often more light. Some Superior rooms have been adapted for guests with reduced mobility with grab bars and roll-in showers. Can connect to a Junior Suite for family stays.
Queen · 22 sqmTerrace Suite
The party piece for Eiffel Tower romantics. Similar in footprint to the Suite at 46 sqm, but it comes with its own private rooftop terrace facing the Eiffel Tower. Book it if that view matters to you.
