Hôtel de Montesquieu
Age of Enlightenment meets the Silk Road. Moody Oriental-inspired lobby, deep vermilion and gold tones, antique furnishings, precious fabrics — think literary salon crossed with a Persian caravanserai. Very intimate. Very Parisian.

Why It Matters
One of the few genuine 5-star boutiques in the 8th arrondissement that manages to feel like a private apartment rather than a hotel. The 2022 renovation gave it a sharp new identity — named after the Enlightenment philosopher — while keeping the scale small (18 rooms) and the staff attentive.
A 5-star boutique hotel with just 18 rooms tucked into a quiet street one block from the Champs-Élysées. The building is a textbook Haussmannian address — symmetrical stone facade, decorative balconies, six stories — but step inside and the mood shifts. Rich colours, antique furniture, chinoiserie details, and references to Montesquieu's Persian Letters pull the interiors toward an Eastern sensibility that feels genuinely personal rather than designed-by-committee. Completely renovated in 2022.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Room
From EUR380 / nightA 22 m² cocoon under the Paris rooftops, designed for one or two people. The walls and furniture are in shades of grey for a cosy, calm atmosphere. Large bathroom window brings in good natural light. Compact but well-finished — this is Paris, after all.
Queen · 22 sqm
Double Deluxe Room
From EUR420 / nightLocated on the 6th and top floor, right under the Haussmannian mansard roofs. Views over the Paris rooftops. Runs 25–30 m² and fits one or two people. Warm yellow and orange tones create a retro feel — this is arguably the most Parisian-feeling room in the house.
Queen · 27 sqm
Junior Suite
From EUR480 / night27–30 m² with a comfortable double bed and a separate lounge area — good for longer stays where you want space to decompress. Fresh, inviting décor blending retro lines, pastoral motifs, and soothing hues. An extra bed can be added for a third person on request.
Queen · 28 sqmMontesquieu Suite
From EUR560 / nightThe hotel's namesake suite at 34–35 m², finished in warm pink shades inspired by Isfahan. A large sofa invites you to sit and think — very on-brand for a hotel named after a philosopher. Separate bedroom. The décor is more intimate and personal than the Deluxe Suite; designed for one or two people rather than a family.
King · 34 sqmPrestige Room
From EUR460 / night28–30 m² of refined comfort decorated in delicate shades of pink opal or celadon green and blue. King-size 180cm bed. Some rooms have a private balcony. Bathrooms come with either bath or shower. Sumptuously done and noticeably more spacious than the Classic.
King · 29 sqm
Suite de Luxe
From EUR540 / night34–37 m² with a separate bedroom and living room — the largest configuration in the hotel before the signature suite. Some overlook the inner courtyard, others face the rooftops, and from at least one you can spot the top of the Eiffel Tower. Extra bed possible. Balcony available on request subject to availability.
