Awards & Accolades

Hotel Napoleon Paris made its grand debut as an opulent addition to the Parisian skyline in the 1920s, amid the city’s influx of literary and artistic expatriates, including Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dali. Purchased by a wealthy Russian businessman as a symbol of love for his French bride, the seven-story Art Deco hotel has remained an undeniably romantic and flirtatious retreat, offering private terraces with views of the Eiffel Tower or Arc de Triomphe and an enviable location in the Triangle d’Or. Once host to luminaries such as Errol Flynn, Orson Welles, Jean Gabin, and Josephine Baker, this newly enhanced five-star Parisian icon blends rich history with modern comfort, creating an inimitable sense of warmth, charm, and character. Here, guests will discover spacious accommodations impeccably decorated in Napoleonic fashion by interior design firm Malphettes & Biz. Guestrooms include marbled and mahogany baths, and the elegant, home-like suites are outfitted in silken fabrics and a variety of vibrant color hues, including crimson, saffron, and turquoise. Passed from generation to generation, the Hotel Napoleon remains in the family of its original owners and serves as a treasured landmark, storied in history and brimming in charm amid the most recognizable shops, museums, and cultural sites of Paris.
