Maison Souquet, Hotel & Spa

About

Maison Souquet, tucked in the historic Rue de Bruxelles in Paris’s Montmartre, is a 5‑star oasis that reimagines a Belle Époque brothel as an intimate luxury hotel. Designed by acclaimed decorator Jacques Garcia, the property captures the decadence and secrecy of the era with gilded salons, silk‑lined ceilings, and antique furnishings that speak of male chauvinism and female agency alike. Each of the 20 rooms, from the plush “La Païva” suite to the exotic “Liane de Pougy” room, draws inspiration from Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Napoleonic motifs, allowing guests to step into a living piece of history while enjoying modern comforts. The hotel’s three grand salons—the “Salon des Mille et Une Nuits,” “Salon des Petits Bonheurs,” and “Jardin d’Hiver”—serve as private gathering spaces where champagne, games, and conversation mingle beneath ornate chandeliers. Visitors can also indulge in the house’s exclusive Spa, where the Salon d’Eau offers a 60‑minute privatization for €200 (non‑resident) and a range of treatments from massages to 90‑minute rituals, all set against a cobalt‑blue vault studded with gold stars. Regarded as the world’s most romantic hotel, Maison Souquet has earned awards from Travellers’ Choice and Condé Nast Traveller. Its curated atmosphere—melding sensuality, history, and bespoke service—makes it a must‑visit destination for couples, culture lovers, and guests seeking a uniquely immersive Parisian experience.
