The Lancaster, the art of the daycation in an exceptional living space in the 8th arrondissement

What if total immersion is just around the corner? Far from the image of a hotel reserved for travelers passing through, this iconic spot also opens to Parisians and reveals itself as a living space in its own right, from dawn to night. Here’s the rhythm of a typical day in this elegant and surprising refuge.

Just steps from the Champs-Élysées, at 7 rue de Berri (Paris 8th), Le Lancaster cultivates the discreet elegance of a quintessential Parisian house, where guests come to escape as much as to unwind or indulge in a moment of decadence. Nestled in a coveted neighborhood—between luxury, shopping, culture, and fine addresses, not to mention the Arc de Triomphe—Le Lancaster offers a hushed refuge with a courtyard, restaurant, bar and private spa. An ideal address for a refined daycation in Paris and for savoring a precious pause of relaxation without leaving the capital.

9:00 AM: A Gourmet Awakening

The day starts with a hearty, indulgent breakfast at the heart of the Lancaster. A peaceful pause, ideal for an informal business meeting or simply a moment to pause before the day's bustle.

10:30 a.m.: Paris’s chicest workspace

Remote work takes on a whole new dimension here. At the bar’s high table, in a muted, elegant setting, checking emails or making a few calls becomes almost a pleasure. A discreet, inspiring atmosphere that transforms the morning work routine.

12:30 p.m.: Lunch at Monsieur Lancaster

A true hub where drinking, dining, and gathering become a full-fledged experience. In this welcoming yet elegant setting, signature cocktails, gourmet tapas, and an eclectic wine program perfectly complement our neo-bistro menu. Chef Sébastien Giroud serves cuisine rooted in heart and locally sourced ingredients, reimagining French classics with equal parts sincerity and modern flair.

2:30 PM: A suspended interlude on the 8th floor

The early afternoon invites you to unwind. The hotel's private spa offers an exclusive wellness experience: a tailor-made massage, followed by full privatization of the space. From this discreet vantage on the 8th floor, the view of Paris’s rooftops adds an almost surreal dimension to the moment.

4:00 PM: Gourmet snack and cultural immersion

Back in the buzz of the ground floor for a delicate afternoon tea, a nod to childhood. With a calm spirit, we then move to a discovery of the place. Barely a hundred years old, the Lancaster hides a rich history and surprising artworks. A stroll through the salons reveals its secrets.

6:00 PM: Cocktails, tapas and vinyl records

As dusk falls, the mood shifts; extend the experience in the lush patio, bathed in light—a tranquil haven where after-work moments naturally evolve into dinners with friends. The lighting grows softer, and the CopperBay Lancaster bar comes to life. Bold cocktail creations accompany tapas crafted by the chef, while vinyl DJ sets set the musical tone.

What if the day could stretch on a little longer?

After exploring every corner of this Parisian hub of life, the thought of going home suddenly feels less certain. One last temptation naturally presents itself: to prolong the experience and turn this interlude into a true 24-hour getaway, in one of the rooms at the Lancaster Hotel.
