Hotel with terrace and garden in Paris: discover the secret of the Pimpan Garden at the Hôtel Dame des Arts

In the vibrant heart of the Latin Quarter, where art, literature and Parisian bohemianism meet, the Hôtel Dame des Arts hides an unexpected treasure: a lush interior garden, unknown to the general public. A secret shared between initiates, the Pimpan Garden, the hotel’s gourmet restaurant’s green terrace, is the epitome of discreet Parisian luxury.

 

A confidential address between heaven and greenery

Away from the hustle and bustle of the boulevards, yet close to the Seine, Notre-Dame and the narrow streets of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the Garden of Dame des Arts is a bubble of calm and freshness. Lined with lush plants, adorned with natural wood, and bathed in light, the Pimpan Garden is a living terrace at any time of day and year.

In the morning, you have your coffee in a serene atmosphere, listening to the city wake up. At noon, we settle in for an elegant and unpretentious lunch. In the late afternoon, conversations are made around a homemade cocktail, and when night falls, the garden turns into an intimate stage for a dinner under the stars.

It is a holiday corner in Paris, available all year round, a rare luxury in a city as dense as the capital.

 

Pimpan Garden: the art of French hospitality

Pimpan, the signature restaurant of the hotel, offers a refined culinary experience, orchestrated by chef Clément Courtemanche, twice winner of the BIB Gourmand Michelin (2023 and 2024). Its cuisine, subtly contemporary, draws on the French terroir while flirting with international influences.

 

A hotel terrace in Paris... but also a garden refuge

If you know the rooftop of the Hôtel Dame des Arts for its spectacular 360° views over the rooftops of Paris, the garden on the ground floor offers a softer, more secret form of escape. It is not a simple patio, it is a place of mood, atmosphere, a space that breathes to the rhythm of the seasons.

The contrast between the effervescent heights of the rooftop and the vegetal sweetness of the Pimpan Garden creates a duality rare in Parisian hotels: a perfect balance between the spectacular panorama and the lush intimacy.

 

An ideal location in authentic Paris

Ideally located 4 rue Danton, Paris 6e, between the Odéon metro and the RER Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, the Hôtel Dame des Arts is an ideal starting point to explore literary and historical Paris. On foot, you reach the quays of the Seine, the Jardin du Luxembourg or the Pantheon. But here, at the heart of this design hotel designed by Raphael Navot, it is above all the pleasure of not having to escape to recharge your batteries.

 

Conclusion: a hidden garden for lovers of Paris

At a time when authentic places are becoming increasingly rare, the Hôtel Dame des Arts reinvents the idea of the garden hotel in Paris. The Pimpan Garden is not just an outdoor space: it’s a philosophy, a way of inhabiting the city in a different way. A place you would like to keep for yourself, but always end up recommending to your closest friends.
