A Name Rooted in Parisian History

In Paris, every street, every building tells a story. The SAX Paris, a discreet 5-star hotel nestled in the heart of the 7th arrondissement, is no exception. Its name—short, striking, and sophisticated—pays tribute to its prestigious location on Avenue de Saxe, an iconic artery that runs through one of the most elegant districts on Paris’s Left Bank.

Avenue de Saxe itself is named after Marshal Maurice de Saxe (1696–1750), a renowned French military strategist of German origin, celebrated for his role in the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745. This naming reflects the Parisian tradition of honoring historical figures through urban landmarks.

A Historic Building at 55 Avenue de Saxe

Located precisely at 55 Avenue de Saxe, in what many consider the most refined and discreet neighborhood in Paris, the SAX occupies a building whose walls still echo with history. Erected in 1899 in the distinctive late 19th-century style, the building once housed the Ségur telephone exchange—an emblematic site in the history of French telecommunications.

This exchange was operated by the famous "telephone ladies," the young, often single women who played a crucial human role in connecting calls under strict working conditions. They embodied the technological and social evolution of the Belle Époque.

Through a remarkable architectural and functional transformation, this historic site of communication has become a contemporary living space where luxury hospitality meets Parisian heritage. The rooms that once hosted switchboards are now elegant lounges, refined guestrooms, and wellness areas, making the SAX a top destination among the capital's most coveted hotels.

A Strategic Location at the Heart of Cultural Paris

The choice of the name “SAX” reflects not only the hotel’s geographical location but also symbolizes the perfect blend of tradition and modernity that defines contemporary Parisian luxury. Its prime position in the 7th arrondissement places guests in the heart of an exceptional cultural triangle:

• Just minutes’ walk from the Rodin Museum and its sculpture garden
• In close proximity to the Hôtel des Invalides, home to Napoleon’s tomb
• Within reasonable distance from the Musée d'Orsay and its Impressionist masterpieces

But the SAX Paris’s greatest asset is undoubtedly its breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower. Its rooftop with Eiffel Tower views offers a stunning panoramic perspective over the Paris skyline, making every sunrise and sunset an unforgettable spectacle for privileged guests. And the view doesn't stop there—the rooftop boasts a 360-degree panorama of the city. Enjoy not only the Eiffel Tower, but also the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Montmartre and the Pantheon. You can even glimpse the bell towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral.

The SAX Paris has established itself as a benchmark among hotels with one of the best views of the Eiffel Tower, attracting a discerning international clientele in search of authentic experiences. Whether for a romantic weekend, a honeymoon, or simply to savor the charm of Paris, the property meets the highest expectations.

The SAX’s philosophy goes far beyond classic luxury accommodation. The hotel offers a holistic approach to well-being, making it a sought-after destination for travelers in search of rest and serenity. Guests can enjoy:
