Maison Astor Paris, Curio Collection by Hilton

American businessman John Jacob Astor IV had the Maison Astor Paris, Curio Collection by Hilton built to be his Paris home in 1907. Astor had been a part of the hospitality world since the mid-1890s, when he built the Astoria Hotel on the Astor family property in New York. It was meant to rival his cousin’s hotel, the Waldorf Hotel, but instead the two joined to become the Waldorf Astoria, a hotel known for its opulence and affluent clientele. The Maison Astor underwent extensive renovations in 2018 to restore, upgrade, and update the accommodations with more contemporary features. Nearby are world-famous landmarks including the Louvre Museum, the Champs-Élysées, and Opéra Garnier. The hotel is located in the fashion district, near several haute couture houses and high fashion shopping on Boulevard Haussmann. Visit the Eiffel Tower and Le Madeleine Church, or stroll in any of the beautiful parks and gardens Paris meticulously maintains. The experience at Maison Astor Paris, Curio Collection by Hilton is only enhanced by the beautiful and magical City of Lights.
