Unbeatable location steps from the Louvre and Palais Royal
The Officine du Louvre bar with its stunning rediscovered glass roof
Courtyard rooms that are shockingly quiet for the 1st Arrondissement
Snel Overzicht: A historic grand dame that feels fresh, provided you don't book the smallest room and expect a ballroom.
Beoordeeld door @Shefancy: I stayed in a room overlooking Place Colette and honestly, I spent hours just standing on the balcony. The view of the Louvre is surreal. It’s a bit noisy with the traffic, but feeling the city's energy right below you is totally worth it.

The 'European firm' mattresses are a common gripe for Americans used to pillow-tops.
You prioritize walking distance to major museums above all else
You appreciate history — the hotel was commissioned by Napoleon III
You want a luxury hotel that feels lively and local, not stuffy

Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
Is it noisy being right next to the Louvre?
Surprisingly no. The soundproofing is excellent, and courtyard rooms are dead silent.
Does the hotel have a pool?
No. There is a 24-hour fitness center, but no pool or spa.
How much is breakfast?
Around €44 per person for the full buffet at Brasserie du Louvre.
Are the rooms small?
Yes, entry-level rooms are very Parisian (small). Book a Deluxe or Junior Suite if space matters.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a fee of €50 per day.
Can I see the Eiffel Tower from my room?
Mostly no. You are looking at the Louvre, Palais Royal, or Comédie Française. Ask for a high-floor suite for a chance at a glimpse.

5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡The shower screens in renovated bathrooms are only 'half-glass', meaning water splashes everywhere if you aren't careful.
💡The botanical cocktails at the bar are a nod to Napoleon III's love of botany.
💡You can exit the hotel and be inside the Louvre in literally 5 minutes via the underground Carrousel entrance.
💡The 'View' rooms sometimes just view the side of a building; be specific about wanting a 'Louvre View'.
💡Room service breakfast is sometimes cheaper or same price as the buffet and much more relaxing.
