The bar's design creates an illusion of being outdoors while providing comfort and shelter, making it a versatile spot regardless of the weather.

Our take
This hotel suits travelers seeking a unique, light-filled space to relax after exploring Paris, particularly those who appreciate architectural design in their leisure areas. The glass-roofed bar offers a distinct ambiance, perfect for a quiet evening or a morning coffee. However, those looking for an open-air, panoramic rooftop with sweeping skyline views might find this enclosed terrace less aligned with their expectations.
- ✓Visit the glass-roofed bar in the late afternoon to experience the transition from natural daylight to the soft glow of evening.
- ✓Enjoy a quiet morning coffee under the glass roof before the city fully awakens.
- ✓Consider this spot for a relaxed pre-dinner drink, appreciating its unique, luminous setting.

Why guests love itA traveler who came to Paris in early spring appreciated the glass-roofed bar at Hotel Astra Opera more than expected. On grey days it stayed bright and sheltered, a good spot for a morning coffee and a quiet drink after a day spent between the Opéra Garnier and Place de la Madeleine. It is an enclosed space rather than an open-air rooftop, so there is no wide panorama to chase at sunset, but the light pouring through the glass made up for much of that.
