Why we picked this hotel
The buildings give the hotel its personality. Historic mansions, an old industrial hall and newer architecture have been stitched together rather than smoothed into one anonymous space, so moving through the property feels like discovering a small Parisian world of its own.
Hotel description
In the scholarly heart of Paris, behind the historic façades of Rue Lacépède, Le Jardin de Verre unfolds through a Baroque mansion, a former industrial hall and secluded garden courtyards. The centrepiece is a soaring glass-roofed atrium, where chandeliers, marble counters and abundant planting turn the building’s industrial past into something theatrical, sociable and unmistakably Parisian. Mornings begin with coffee and pastries at Bibie before the Latin Quarter pulls you outside towards the Jardin des Plantes, Panthéon and banks of the Seine. Return for yoga, cocktails beneath the glass roof or dinner surrounded by locals. With kitchens and living space in most apartments, it suits travellers who want the independence of a Paris address without giving up the energy and service of a design-led hotel.
Hotel location
This is great
A hidden oasis in the Latin Quarter
Behind an unassuming façade lies a remarkable mix of an 18th-century Baroque mansion, a former industrial building and two lush courtyards.
Parisian apartments with room to breathe
Studios, suites and apartments pair elegant interiors with kitchens, giving you far more space than the average Paris hotel room.
Bibie is worth staying in for
A beautiful restaurant, coffee shop and cocktail bar beneath a soaring glass atrium that draws both locals and guests.
Beautiful spaces beyond your room
Read in the courtyards, work from the café, stretch in the yoga studio or settle in with a cocktail beneath the glass roof.
Walk the best of the Left Bank
The Panthéon, Jardin des Plantes, Notre-Dame and the Sorbonne are all within easy walking distance.
Historic Paris, completely reimagined
Original architecture, bold contemporary interiors and lush planting make this one of Paris's most distinctive new stays.
Our take on the stay
You book it for the freedom of an apartment. You remember it for the glass atrium, the courtyard and the evenings when staying in felt more appealing than another reservation across town.

About the destination
Paris
Paris is a city of endlessly varied neighbourhoods, where elegant boulevards give way to quieter streets filled with cafés, bookshops, and hidden courtyards. In the Latin Quarter, centuries-old institutions, independent bookstores, and lively terraces create an atmosphere that feels both intellectual and unmistakably Parisian. Le Jardin de Verre by Locke is set within this neighbourhood, placing you within easy walking distance of the Jardin des Plantes, the Seine, and the everyday rhythm of Paris’s Left Bank.
