A hotel on a discothèque’s site
Bus Palladium Hôtel Club is at 6 rue Pierre-Fontaine, on the 9th-arrondissement side, between place Pigalle and place Blanche. The administrative quartier is Saint-Georges. It belongs to the Chapitre Six collection. Atout France, the national classification body, has rated it five stars since 16 April 2026, for 35 rooms.
The address carries its history in the name. The Bus Palladium discothèque opened on 30 September 1965 and closed on 23 April 2022 to be demolished for a hotel. According to Wikipedia, the site earlier held cafés-concerts and a 1929 jazz club, the Cotton Club, and Salvador Dalí gave a banquet there in 1965; the hotel has a Dalí Suite.
Rooms, restaurant and bar
The hotel’s rooms use raw concrete, cork, velvet and ribbed glass, and carry speakers. Suites have a terrace or a balcony: the Terrace Suite, the Prestige Terrace Suite, the Balcony Junior Suite and the Dalí Suite. The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner around a vinyl bar, with a snack menu at the bar between meals. The hotel also describes itself as a club, with music from morning to night.
Air conditioning, accessibility and pets are not mentioned on its site. The hotel is new, so the opening date and any guest feedback remain unchecked in our data.

Pigalle (lines 2 and 12) is 300 metres, four minutes on foot; Blanche (line 2) and Saint-Georges (line 12) are 450 metres, five and six minutes.
