Maison Colbert

The Hotel

Experience the history of Paris first-hand with an unforgettable stay in this charming 16th-century boutique hotel, nestled between Notre-Dame Cathedral, Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Panthéon. As the former home of the famous French writer Simone de Beauvoir, and inspired by the iconic masterworks of renowned Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla, Hotel Maison Colbert is a living tribute to history, art and the Parisian way of living: Sorolla was also an important chronicler of the aesthetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, highlighting Parisian haute couture and creating trends through his family portraits. The innovative décor brings an art-museum-like feel to the hotel, exhibiting 39 individually decorated rooms, each inspired by a unique Sorolla painting, and many boasting partial views of Notre-Dame.
