🏛️ A Wrought-Iron Spiral Staircase: All That Remains of the 1781 Fire
A wrought-iron spiral staircase — all that remains of the 1781 fire that destroyed the Théâtre de l’Opéra that once stood here — wraps around a very modern luggage storeroom cleverly disguised as a large travel trunk. A poetic blend of history and contemporary design.
🛌 Rooms & Suites: Timeless Elegance with Modern Comfort
The 59 rooms are decorated with pale cream walls, black lacquer lamps, and touches of lime green, deep beige, and lavender for a smart, timeless feel. Most rooms are carpeted for added comfort, while suites have pale oak floors and area rugs. Velvets, leathers, and silks add a rich level of comfort.

🗼 Panoramic Suite: Eiffel Tower & Sacré-Cœur Views
While many rooms have balconies with views over the Palais Royal or the cobblestone courtyard, the largest can be found in the Panoramic Suite, which overlooks the Eiffel Tower and Sacré-Cœur Basilica, and has its own dining room and private elevator. The ultimate Parisian suite.
