Born in 1996, the world famous Buddha-Bar restaurant came from the never-ending imagination of its founder, Raymond Visan.
The creativity of this talented globe-trotter, and his desire to go beyond established standards, shaped by his many travels, gave him the gift to absorb many cultures that today reflect the Buddha-Bar DNA. His concept: "A voyage within a voyage".
His innovative vision has consistently guided his ambitions, inspiring cutting-edge projects to satisfy the expectations of an ever-demanding international clientele. After bringing a breath of fresh air and a new approach to what he liked to call "Eatertainment", Raymond Visan has launched a collection of lifestyle boutique hotels.
After Prague and Budapest, the Buddha-Bar Hotel Paris reflects the very essence of the good life and offers an experience that exceeds the expectations of travelers seeking the unforgettable.

Located only few steps away from the iconic Buddha-Bar restaurant, the Buddha-Bar Hotel Paris is a little gem in the heart of the ultra-chic Faubourg St Honoré, famous around the world for its history, luxury boutiques, haute couture workshops and major cultural attractions.
The Buddha-Bar Hotel Paris is a new generation 5-star property that combines a Lifestyle philosophy with a high-end personalized service in an outstanding location, making this a fantastic living space for your stay in the City of Lights.

Inspired by the fusion concept that characterises the Buddha-Bar spirit, the menu of the Restaurant Le Vraymonde combines Eastern and Western flavours in ways that delight epicureans. Its Pan-Asian cuisine, in which the brilliant blending of the gastronomic traditions of France and Asia is particularly bold, is innovative and delicious. It showcases amazing specialties that are by turns refreshing and subtly noted, and promises beautiful taste sensations.
The restaurant’s luxurious décor continues throughout its five distinctive spaces. Rich with varying shades of red and saffron and hints of ancient symbols, diners are transported to the heart of Imperial China. Large circular mirrors reflect an intriguing infinite perspective, lacquered ceilings gleam lustrously and exquisitely delicate light fittings cast a subtle glow. The setting is evocative of the Orient and ideally suited to the tasting of refined specialties.
Le Vraymonde also has an excellent reputation for its original brunch, served every Sunday from 11:30 am to 4 pm. This buffet is delicious and generously tempting in its wide selection of dishes, which are themed around the 4 elements: water, earth, air, fire.
Restaurant open from noon to 2:30 pm from Monday to Saturday, from 7 pm to 10:30 pm from Monday to Sunday.

At the Restaurant Le Vraymonde the dining experience continues into the beautiful courtyard of the Buddha-Bar Hotel Paris. This verdant 200 m² outdoor terrace is accessible throughout the year. It offers the perfect setting for an original and delicious taste experience, where you are sheltered from view beneath large crimson parasols or scarlet shades. On this patio, with its perfectly tended plants and colourful ambience, where time itself seems to be suspended, all aspects combine to make each brunch, lunch or dinner a unique and perfectly unforgettable occasion.

The intimate setting of Le Qu4tre reinterprets Asian themes while honouring contemporary materials. Symbolised by the cherry blossoms applied to backlit panels or the black lacquered ceiling, the Japanese theme gives the hotel an exclusive atmosphere that is both mystical and elegant. This unique space is modern and yet somehow it still retains a sense of tradition. Voted the Best Bar in Europe for 2014-2015, Le Qu4tre is the living drama at the heart of the daily life of the hotel. Its ambience and controlled lighting change with the time of day or evening, to set the mood, alternately providing the perfect setting for a delightful lunch, the discovery of innovative cocktails or a light snack.
Inspired by water, air, fire and earth, the Barmen of Le Qu4tre select rare alcoholic beverages and often overlooked aromatic spices and herbs and combines them to create the unexpected.
Open Sunday to Wednesday from 3 pm to midnight, Thursday through Saturday from 3 pm to 1 am.

The rejuvenating experience offered by the Buddha-Bar Hotel Paris extends to the B/Attitude Studio, the hotel's wellness area, where the trained hands of a team of experts lavish exclusive and customised treatments upon the guests. The line of products used in B/Attitude draws inspiration from Moroccan hammam rituals and traditional Ayurvedic medicine, aiding in relaxation and evoking a sense of wellbeing.
Behind the Abaca gold blinds, the studio is completely private yet seems to be bathed in daylight. It has two treatment rooms and a superb hammam with tiled mosaics in gold and amethyst. An adjoining fitness centre, equipped with the latest Technogym equipment, is also at the disposal of the guests. Everything in this exclusive space has been designed with ultimate relaxation in mind and guests will enjoy an unforgettable sensory journey to the heart of paradise.
Inspired by Tibetan Ayurveda, the essence of the B/Attitude philosophy is to turn your massage into an East-meets-West wellbeing experience.
