A fashionable pied-à-terre in the heart of the 8th arrondissement

Located in a Haussmann-style building, the Hôtel Bowmann is situated at 99 Boulevard Haussmann, at the crossroads of department stores and iconic Parisian luxury shopping streets. Just a few steps away, the shop windows of Boulevard Haussmann, the Champs-Élysées, and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré are home to fashion houses, luxury boutiques, jewelers, and concept stores prized by the fashion industry. For designers, models, buyers, and production teams, this location avoids long car journeys between appointments. Guests can leave the quiet lobby and walk to a showroom, fashion show, or fitting, then return to relax in their room or at the bar without wasting time on transportation. The hotel thus combines everything Fashion Week seeks: centrality, discretion, and efficiency.

Fashion Week walking tour from the Hotel Bowmann

Starting from the Bowmann, a typical Fashion Week day can be spent entirely on foot. We begin by walking along Boulevard Haussmann to the department stores, veritable temples of style where major fashion houses and emerging designers come together. It's the ideal place to check out the latest collections, arrange an informal meeting, or finalize a look before a shoot. Continuing on to Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, you'll cross one of the most influential avenues in Parisian fashion. The headquarters of historic fashion houses, exclusive showrooms, and some collection presentations are located just a few streets away from the hotel. Further on, the Champs-Élysées completes this fashion map with major international brands and spectacular flagship stores. Between fashion shows, you can stroll back to 99 Boulevard Haussmann, stop off at the spa, pop back to your room for a makeup touch-up, or settle down at the bar for a meeting with a client or agent. The itinerary becomes a veritable circular fashion journey, with the Hôtel Bowmann as its anchor point.

Calm, light, and elegance for preparing fashion shows and photo shoots

The rooms and suites at the Bowmann Hotel feature Haussmann-style elements—moldings, parquet flooring, large windows—combined with contemporary décor by Laurent Maugoust. The spacious rooms, natural light, and marble and gold leaf finishes create the perfect setting for preparing for a fashion show or photo shoot: fittings, hair and makeup, last looks before heading to the show. Some rooms offer unobstructed views of the Paris skyline or the Eiffel Tower, providing an inspiring backdrop for photographing a look, shooting social media content, or hosting a stylist. Soundproofing and high-end bedding allow guests to recover after a day of castings or presentations, while remaining in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. The concierge service supports fashion teams by organizing transfers, booking private salons, and connecting them with personal shoppers in partnership with the neighborhood's department stores. The goal is to simplify the stay so that everyone can focus on what matters most: creation, the collection, and image.

Spa, pool, and wellness between shows

Fashion Week is an intense experience. To catch your breath between shows, the spa at the Hôtel Bowmann offers a rare moment of wellness in the heart of the 8th arrondissement. The space includes a heated indoor pool, an integrated jacuzzi, a hammam, a sauna, a balneotherapy shower, and a tea room, complemented by single and double treatment rooms. Signature rituals and massages help release tension after a day in heels or under the spotlight, while the pool and relaxation area invite you to disconnect from social media and backstage for a few moments. Between shows, it's also the ideal place to get ready for an evening out, thanks to the facials and beauty treatments offered at the spa.

Breakfast, brunch, and bar for meetings and fittings

On the ground floor, the 99 Haussmann restaurant serves a gourmet breakfast combining French and international flavors, ideal before a morning fitting or an early fashion show. Thanks to extended hours on weekdays and weekends, everyone can plan their start to the day around the show schedule. Bar 99, bathed in light and designed like a Parisian salon, serves signature cocktails, wines, and tapas throughout the day. Its layout makes it the perfect place for an interview, a small team meeting, or a meeting with a buyer, away from the hustle and bustle of the fashion shows.
