Art Space | 4-Bedroom Apartment with Spa in Ile-de-France

Want to experience Paris from inside a converted 1870s printing house that once sheltered La Résistance? Art Space delivers luxury apartment living in the vibrant 2nd arrondissement—where cobblestone streets meet contemporary design, and every corner tells a story. This meticulously restored loft spans three distinctive levels across 300 square meters, accommodating nine guests who seek authentic urban refinement without sacrificing modern comfort.

Inside Art Space

Art Space sleeps 9 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms distributed across three thoughtfully designed floors. Light pours through oversized clerestory windows and a dramatic cathedral window that runs floor to ceiling—the kind of natural illumination that makes photography unnecessary and mood photography impossible.

The ground floor greets you with soaring ceilings and an open-plan living and dining configuration. This space manages to feel simultaneously spacious and intimate, with contemporary furnishings anchoring the room. A concealed cinema screen emerges from behind a structural beam—perfect for screening films without the theatrical artifice. The kitchen occupies one corner, fully equipped for everything from assembling canapés to orchestrating five-course dinners. Its professional-grade appliances include refrigeration, freezing, oven, microwave, and all supporting equipment. Adjacent to the ground floor living area sits a double bedroom with a queen-sized bed and an accompanying shower room with toilet.

Ascend the glass-topped staircase to access the lower level, which functions as your private wellness sanctuary. Here you’ll find a sauna, a multi-gym setup, a shower room outfitted with a hydro-jet massage system and overhead rainfall showerhead, plus dedicated seating and yoga mats for stretching or meditation. A smart TV and music station with Bluetooth BOSE surround sound provide entertainment options.

The upper level reveals a mezzanine lounge with carefully curated furnishings, offering expansive sight lines across the entire loft. Two guest bedrooms occupy this floor alongside the master suite. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with a sunken soaking tub and separate rain shower, plus a private toilet. A second guest bedroom has a half bathroom with toilet and sink positioned directly opposite. Both bedrooms access the exterior balcony—a linear space dressed with bistro tables and patio furniture, ideal for morning coffee or evening aperitifs.

Original artist murals decorate the walls, including one celebrating the building’s Resistance history and another creating intimate ambiance on the upper level. These narrative artworks provide character that new construction simply cannot replicate.

Additional amenities throughout include Wi-Fi connectivity, cable television, dual flatscreen TVs with DVD players, an intercom system, air conditioning, heating, in-unit washer and dryer, 24-hour check-in availability, and a business center for those who need to work. The property welcomes small pets and provides a baby high chair and cot for younger guests.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The balcony on the upper level serves as your private outdoor room. Stretching along the residential facade, it provides space for dining at the bistro tables or lounging in the furnished seating areas. From this vantage point, you absorb the rhythm of the arrondissement without being fully exposed to street noise—a rare luxury in central Paris. The private courtyard below, planted with greenery and maintained as a quiet refuge, further insulates the property from urban commotion while keeping you connected to the neighborhood’s energy.

Location: The 2nd Arrondissement and Surrounding Area

Art Space sits in the Montorgueil quarter of Paris’s 2nd arrondissement, positioned on the right bank of the Seine. This neighborhood exists at the intersection of historical significance and contemporary vitality. Rue Montorgueil itself runs for approximately 500 meters as a pedestrian-focused street lined with market stalls, independent boutiques, creperies, and patisseries. The street market operates daily, featuring fresh produce, artisanal foods, and local products—the kind of morning ritual that defines Parisian living.

The Louvre lies approximately 800 meters away (roughly a 10-minute walk), making museum visits spontaneous rather than scheduled excursions. The Centre Pompidou is similarly close at approximately 600 meters. Palais Royal, with its arcaded galleries and manicured gardens, sits about 400 meters away—an ideal spot for breakfast or afternoon reading. Les Halles shopping and transit hub is within 5 minutes on foot. Notre-Dame Cathedral, while temporarily undergoing restoration, remains approximately 1.2 kilometers away and remains visible from various vantage points in the neighborhood.

Recent developments have enhanced the area’s appeal. The newly renovated Samaritaine department store (approximately 300 meters away) has reinvented itself as both a luxury shopping destination and a culinary destination, with architectural spaces that merit exploration independently. The Rooftop Bar at Madame Reve restaurant, built atop the former Louvre Post Office building, offers aperitifs with city views. Pinaud’s Bourse de Commerce has reopened as a contemporary art museum at approximately 450 meters distance, featuring works from the Pinault Collection.

The Marais district, celebrated for narrow cobblestone streets, hidden courtyards, independent galleries, and fashion boutiques, begins about 600 meters away. This neighborhood within the larger city attracts visitors seeking bohemian atmosphere without sacrificing culinary or shopping sophistication.

Transportation options include metro access at Étienne Marcel (200 meters), Les Halles (300 meters), and Réaumur-Sébastopol (400 meters). These stations connect to multiple metro lines, enabling reach to any Paris destination within 20-40 minutes. Charles de Gaulle Airport lies approximately 30 kilometers northeast (45-60 minute taxi or transfer time depending on traffic), while Orly Airport is approximately 20 kilometers south (30-45 minute transfer time). Both airports maintain regular connections to Excellence Luxury Villas’ partner transfer services.

The neighborhood reveals different characters depending on time of day. Morning brings market energy and café culture. Afternoon supports gallery browsing and museum visits. Evening transforms the streets into outdoor dining rooms, with restaurants and wine bars expanding onto sidewalks. This district doesn’t sleep early—Parisians understand that urban living reaches its peak after sunset.

What is the nearest airport to Art Space in Paris?

What is the best time of year to rent Art Space?

April through June and September through October represent Paris’s optimal seasons. Spring (April-May) brings moderate temperatures (55-65°F/13-18°C), blooming gardens, and lighter crowds than summer. Fall (September-October) offers similar conditions with bonus stabilized weather patterns. Summer (July-August) attracts peak crowds and can feel oppressively warm in urban environments; many Parisians vacate during August. Winter (November-March) delivers colder temperatures (35-45°F/2-7°C), occasional rain, and shorter daylight hours, though Christmas and New Year periods create festive atmospheres. Museums and galleries operate year-round, making them consistent draws regardless of season.

Is Art Space suitable for families with children?

Yes, Art Space accommodates families effectively. The property provides a baby cot and high chair for younger children. Multiple bedrooms allow parents privacy while children sleep nearby. The sauna, yoga mats, and gym appeal to active families. Proximity to Palais Royal (400 meters), with its fountains, gardens, and open spaces, provides child-friendly outdoor areas. Luxembourg Gardens are approximately 1.5 kilometers away, offering playgrounds, carousel, and pond activities. Cinémathèque Française and smaller children’s theaters operate within the district. The central location means museums and attractions are walkable rather than requiring lengthy metro journeys. However, the property’s three-level design with stairs between floors requires supervision for young children, and there are no outdoor pools or dedicated children’s amenities.

The rental rate includes Wi-Fi connectivity, all utilities (electricity for heating and air conditioning), cable television access, professional linen and towel service, use of all property amenities (gym, sauna, entertainment systems, kitchen equipment), and 24-hour concierge support. Breakfast delivery, private chef services, catering, sommelier services, cooking classes, yoga instruction, spa treatments, wine tastings, guided tours, and helicopter excursions are available as paid supplements arranged through the on-site concierge. These ancillary services allow customization based on specific guest preferences rather than requiring bundle purchase.

What restaurants and shops are near Art Space?

Rue Montorgueil itself (directly adjacent to the property) features daily market stalls, independent creperies, casual bistros, and patisseries within immediate walking distance—approximately 50-200 meters from the property. Specific establishments include L’Escargot Montorgueil (traditional French bistro, approximately 100 meters), Frenchie To Go (modern casual dining, approximately 80 meters), and Café Kitsuné (contemporary café, approximately 120 meters).

Restaurant density in the broader 2nd arrondissement means options for all budgets and cuisines exist within 5-10 minute walks.
