Hotel Particulier Montmartre
Hôtel Particulier Montmartre is Paris reimagined as a private sanctuary—hidden behind an unmarked gate up a cobbled lane in Montmartre, this 19th-century mansion offers just five suites, each conceived by a different contemporary artist and decorated with eccentric, refined flair that pushes past ordinary luxury. Once belonging to the Hermès family, its expansive walled garden—masterfully landscaped by Louis Benech—is the largest of any hotel in Paris and evokes a romantic countryside mood in the heart of the city. Public spaces like the boudoir‑styled Grand Salon, the discreet cocktail bar Le Très Particulier, and the lush garden feel more like a beloved friend’s house than a hotel.
Each suite has a boldly individual identity—like the Jardin sur le Nil, with its green trellis wallpaper, rattan furnishings, and Art Deco mosaics; or the Lazy Leopardess, draped in leopard-print walls, ruby lacquer, and mirrored ceilings—while the top-floor loft offers breathtaking views of Montmartre from its glass canopy. Bathrooms are as expressive as the bedrooms, featuring marble, checkerboard tiling, or mosaics, and come stocked with Hermès bath products. This is not a hotel for the mainstream visitor—with its secrecy, family-style hospitality, privately curated rooms, and theatrical glamour, it feels like a membership to a hidden salon rather than a commercial stay
