Hotel 1 Place Vendôme

Built in 1723, this historic building has been a private residence, a seat of government and, in 1842, the Embassy of Texas! Today, it's one of the most elegant hotels in Paris.

De Vendome also happens to be one of the closest luxury hotels to the gay bars, clubs and saunas in Le Marais, as well as popular attractions like the Notre Dame and the Louvre museum.

Luxurious guest rooms successfully blend tradition and modernism. The hotel's restaurant, 1 Place Vendôme, serves fine French cuisine and is recognised as one of the best in Paris.
