Élysée Montmartre Hôtel

A collaboration between architect and entrepreneur Julien Labrousse and film producer Abel Nahmias — who also owns the Élysée Montmartre and Trianon concert halls next door — this 16-room hotel arrived in February 2025 with a clear sense of what it wanted to be. Design studio Policronica built the interior around a single material: eucalyptus wood, usually destined for paper pulp, here given an entirely different life as custom furniture, wall finishes and architectural detail. The atmosphere is warm and handcrafted, unhurried in the way that only considered spaces can be.

Rooms range from intimate singles to duplex family suites sleeping four, each drawing from Wabi-Sabi principles — wood, stone, noble materials, nothing excessive. A private cinema room screens a curated selection of French and English LaserDiscs. A dedicated children’s corner makes the duplexes family-ready. Guests receive priority access to selected shows at the Élysée Montmartre and Trianon next door, folding the music into the stay rather than leaving it to chance.The team’s recommendations go deeper into the neighborhood: the Musée Gustave Moreau, the Musée de la Vie Romantique, intimate galleries in South Pigalle, the elegant covered passages of the 9th. A tasting at À la Mère de Famille. An evening at the Lapin Agile, or a live show next door. As the hotel itself puts it: “Élysée Montmartre Hôtel was created as a house of culture and calm — a place where craftsmanship, cinema, music, and hospitality come together to offer a deeply Parisian experience.”
