Bloom House, the 4* hotel with spa for a cocooning stay a stone's throw from Gare du Nord station

As soon as you step through the front door, Bloom House invites you to take a trip: warm colors, cocooning spaces and comfortable rooms await you for a night in a space designed by Wunder. For lovers, friends or solo travelers, opt for a classic room, with or without a balcony, equipped with a double bed (160cm) or two twin beds (90cm each).

As a family, you'll love the family room, which can accommodate up to four people, like a master suite with two interconnecting bedrooms. As you'll have guessed, the little extras are the balconies that some rooms have, with views over Montmartre and the Sacré Coeur, in a "room with a view" style (as Instagram addicts would say).

Put on the bathrobe provided: from now on, it's off to the Bloomy Spa, the hotel'swellness area, where you can bask in the heated indoor pool, take a nap in the surrounding relaxation areas... Or opt for a relaxing session in the hot sauna. The little extras this time are the treatments and massages we also offer (at extra cost): you choose your scented oil, the areas where you need to be massaged and off you go for 30 minutes or 1 hour of total disconnection, from which you'll leave feeling truly relaxed.

For the sporty types, the hotel gym is open all day, with indoor bikes, rowing machines, abdomen benches, weights... There's plenty of time for a session during your stay, before breakfast or at any time of day.

On the restaurant front, the hotel has its own restaurant, the Bloom Garden, with chef Olivier Streiff at the helm of the menu. The result: a refined Mediterranean-inspired menu, with surprising proposals to tantalize and surprise your taste buds.

Don't miss the chef's salmon gravelax, served with kohlrabi pickles; try the matured beef tataki; or indulge in the pavé de maigre and its homemade ravioli, perfectly seasoned with a spicy tomato sauce.

As you can see, the dishes combine finesse, refinement and unusual combinations that work very well. If you're more in the mood for a drink at the bar, the place offers delicious house cocktails, created by Victor Delpierre, world champion mixologist. For each one, the menu indicates the tonality: bitter, smoky, fruity... The same goes for the mocktails, which are highly sophisticated and, to say the least, surprising!

Finally, when you wake up in the morning (from 7am to 10am), the hotel's breakfast awaits you: on the menu this time,an all-you-can-eat sweet and savory buffet where you can enjoy omelettes, eggs (on request), different kinds of bread, pastries, homemade pancakes, bacon, cold cuts... Accompanied by freshly squeezed fruit juices and unlimited hot drinks.

From €179 for a night in a 2-person room (from €154 for a single room), breakfast is not included (€20 per person for the all-you-can-eat buffet). If you're looking for a nice hotel where you can disconnect for a day or more, we highly recommend the Bloom House, which offers a calm and relaxing interlude, just a stone's throw from the Gare de l'Est and Gare du Nord stations.
