Where to Stay in Paris

A corner of the place de Valois

The hotel stands at 4 rue de Valois, on the place de Valois, at the edge of the Palais-Royal estate in the Palais-Royal administrative district of the 1st. It is an independent house. The façades and roofs of the building are inscribed as historic monuments (order of 29 April 1946); nothing in the record covers the interiors, and the hotel is not inside the Palais-Royal itself.

Atout France raised it to five stars on 22 March 2024 and counts 59 rooms. The hotel credits its décor to Pierre-Yves Rochon.

Rooms and services

According to the hotel, many rooms face the Palais-Royal, some with a balcony: superior rooms, junior suites, the Palais Royal suite and a panoramic suite. It lists family rooms, a lift and baby-sitting on request, and states that animals are welcome. The Holidermie spa has a jacuzzi, a hammam and a gym; Café 52 serves a weekend brunch with a terrace on the place de Valois.

Of the three five-star hotels of the area in our base, it is the only one whose file lists family rooms; Le Meurice and Cheval Blanc Paris are the other two.
