Piscine Molitor, located in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, is a historic swimming pool and luxury hotel complex. Inaugurated in 1929 and designed by architect Lucien Pollet, it is known for its stunning Art Deco architecture and cultural significance, having hosted the first public appearance of the bikini in 1946. After years of closure, it was reopened in 2014, featuring an outdoor and indoor pool, a hotel, restaurants, a spa, and a rooftop terrace. The site is partially classified as a historical monument. Visitors can enjoy its unique blend of history and modern amenities. Admission is exclusive, primarily accessible to hotel guests and club members, with entry fees starting at 1200 euros.
