NOLINSKI PARIS ^{* * * * *}

Had an amazing spa experience today. Both Facility and services are top notch. Special thanks to my masseur Sophie who fixed my shoulder pain, feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommended.

Nolinski Paris - Evok Collection is a fantastic hotel with a super convenient location—right in front of Pyramides, where you can take Line 14 to Orly in just 30-40 minutes. We were warmly welcomed by Maria, who was friendly and professional, making check-in a breeze. The room interior was beautifully designed, comfy, and well-maintained. A unique perk is the option to loan a LED mask for 30 minutes a day, which was a nice touch!

The highlight of the hotel is definitely the swimming pool—so don’t forget to bring your swimsuit! ????‍♀️✨

However, there were a couple of downsides. First, there’s no gym, which we would have expected from a 5-star hotel. Second, there’s no in-room tea or coffee, only room service, which felt like a small letdown. Overall, though, it was a great stay, and we’d still recommend it for its comfort and location!

Le diner d'hier avec mes parents et ma copine a été mémorable. Le service de Nicola et Giulia parfait: ils ont été très souriants et professionnels. La qualité de la nourriture et des boissons a été à la hauteur du prestige de l'établissement. Nous y reviendrons sans doute bientôt, et le conseillerons à nos connaissances à la recherche d'une expérience culinaire unique.

Everything is excellent about this hotel! Great location, helpfull staff. A great cosy top star stay in Paris.

My first “professional” review. I stayed Dec 22-25.

The Nolinski Paris offers an intimate boutique experience with refined touches and exceptional design, but it doesn’t fully deliver the seamless 5-star package many luxury travelers expect.

The entrance is understated, lacking the grandiosity of larger luxury establishments like the Hôtel de Crillon, but once inside, Nolinski’s charm takes over. From the luxurious signature scent that greets you at check-in to the personalized service, the hotel excels at creating an atmosphere of refined elegance.

One of Nolinski’s most remarkable features is the personalized guest service. Staff members knew my name throughout my stay, adding a warm, exclusive touch. When they answered the phone, they were efficient and accommodating. However, calls often went unanswered, leading to moments of frustration. This inconsistency detracted from an otherwise excellent level of care.

Breakfast at Nolinski is a blend of highs and lows. The in-room breakfast service, available until noon, is served on an elegant silver tray, complete with beautiful pastries and a delightful selection of jams. While the presentation feels luxurious, the hot food options are limited, and the quality of what’s available didn’t meet the high expectations set by the rest of the experience.

The hotel’s thoughtful extras add to its charm. High-end appliances, like Dyson products—including the sought-after Airwrap—are available on request, as are tea sets, coffee makers, and steamers. While it’s nice that these items can be delivered, the need to request them—and sometimes wait for them—can feel like an inconvenience. The branded steel water bottles provided at check-in are a lovely touch, refillable with sparkling or still water upon request, combining sustainability with luxury.

The room design is a standout feature. With a practical and elegant layout, the toilet is located near the entry, separate from the shower and vanity, creating a seamless flow. Plush bedding and a spacious balcony add to the indulgent atmosphere, and the minibar is beautifully curated.

The location is another highlight, putting guests within walking distance of many iconic Parisian attractions. Nolinski makes an excellent base for exploring the city.

There are, however, notable downsides. The absence of a gym was surprising, though the hotel does feature a spa, which I didn’t have the chance to explore. (Reviews suggest it’s a highlight worth visiting.) Additionally, the noise from plumbing—water running through pipes in the ceiling and walls—was noticeable and detracted from the serene environment one expects in a luxury hotel.

A memorable touch was the parting gift, which included a bottle of their signature home spray, allowing guests to take home the sophisticated scent of the hotel. However, I regret not checking the contents of the gift beforehand—it ended up flagging me at airport security, which was an inconvenient end to an otherwise pleasant stay.

In conclusion, Nolinski Paris provides a chic and stylish boutique experience with beautifully designed rooms, personalized service, and a prime location. However, the limited amenities, inconsistent phone service, and underwhelming hot breakfast options make it difficult to justify the premium price point. While the thoughtful details, such as parting gifts and high-end appliances, add a layer of luxury, the overall experience feels incomplete compared to other 5-star options in Paris. For those seeking a truly seamless and indulgent stay, there may be better options for the price.
