Within walking distance of the city’s most iconic attractions, this boutique hotel is located in Paris’ Golden Triangle.

With a Haussmann-era facade, the mansion—owned by La Maison des Centraliens—was renovated by architect Danièle Damon.

Damon enhanced and dramatized the historic features, respecting the heritage of the building. In the lobby, the decoration looks like a series of scenes that harmoniously combine different styles and eras.

Optical illusions in high-quality materials can be seen inside, with mirrors and trompe-l’œil combining to enchant guests in every part of the hotel. In one suite the walls are painted black and the parquet oak floor has been ‘stained’ to match the aesthetics of the space, while in The White Lounge a woolen carpet depicts a classic French ceiling.
