The house
Oetker CollectionDiscreet mansion bolthole
Behind an emerald-green facade, this pocket palace operates with intuitive butler service and the quiet discretion of a private residence.
“It has old-world charm despite being brand-new—which means none of the fustiness of a traditional hotel...”

Discreet butler service, expansive marble-clad suites, and deeply attentive residential hospitality in an exclusive townhouse setting.
Notable
An 1897 Belle Époque mansion once owned by Pierre Cardin, restored into an intimate private residence.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This is less a palace than an ultra-discreet semi-private residence, whose emerald-green façade conceals a mere 12 suites…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked along quiet Rue du Cirque, the address sits beside the Élysée Palace and steps from Faubourg Saint-Honoré boutiques.
The rooms
