Located in the dreamy neighbourhood of Montorgueil, Hôtel Bachaumont represents the true personality of Paris that exists away from chaotic tourist groups. Its namesake comes from a scandalous 18th century French author, Louis Petit de Bachaumont, known for the gossipy ?Mémoirs Secrets?. Prominent celebrities, doctors and traders frequented the original Hôtel due to its proximity to the largest market of Paris, Les Halles. Once the market moved to Rungis in 1969, the hotel was sadly abandoned and forced to close its doors.
Fast forward to 2012, when local fashion retailer and avid traveler Samy Marciano decided ?to pay tribute to the arrondissement I love so much, to give something back to a neighbourhood which has given me so much, to give it a place which is an extension of itself?. He partnered with designer du jour Dorothée Meilichzon, for a project that lasted three years, to create a reincarnation of the hotel that is full of her signature curves, understated color palette and eye-catching patterns. In total there are 49 rooms, to guarantee an intimate Parisian stay, based on four color combinations. The light bathrooms, with their vintage style taps and sumptuous tiling, pay homage to the Roaring Twenties. The balconies in many of the rooms have incredible views of iconic Paris rooftops. The luxury suites located on the top floor are named after local streets: Montorgueil, Montmartre, Louvre and Bachaumont, designed as artist studios.
