Belle Époque dreamscape
Two discreet red lanterns mark the entrance to a theatrical fin-de-siècle sanctuary of Cordovan leather, rich velvets, and incense.
“Garcia created an intimate, multi-room layout, meant to take guests from one stage of the experience to the next.”
What it’s good at

Jacques Garcia interiors layered with Napoleon III velvet, Cordovan leather, and silk wall hangings across twenty boudoirs.

A subterranean salon d'eau pairing an indigo-tiled hammam with a heated pool beneath gold-leaf ceiling constellations.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Maison Souquet trades in a sort of luxury that’s still properly decadent, rather than just expensively dull...
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Rue de Bruxelles in South Pigalle, the hotel is steps from the Moulin Rouge and Blanche metro station.
The rooms
Named after Belle Époque courtesans, each room is wrapped in plush silks and tapestries with bespoke orange blossom bath amenities.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A ten-metre heated pool sits in the basement beneath a cobalt-blue ceiling painted with gold-leaf celestial constellations.
The hammam
An indigo-tiled steam room glints with pinprick ceiling lights, set beside private rooms for body treatments.
Bar
Salon des Petits Bonheurs
Carved bookcases, a wood fireplace, and circular crimson velvet banquettes give the bar the mood of a private library.
The lavish designs—velvet couches, massive headboards, opulent wallpaper, texture everywhere—were done by Jacques Garcia, famed for his lush and ultra-Parisian taste.
Restaurant
Jardin d'Hiver
The glass-roofed winter garden serves breakfast on green velvet banquettes that open onto an ivy-lined courtyard.
How it began
Operating as a girls' boarding school in the 1870s, the townhouse became Madame Souquet's notorious pleasure house in 1905.
