Origin and history

The building at 2bis rue de Caumartin, in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, is a building whose construction periods range from the 4th quarter of the 18th century to the 3rd quarter of the 19th century. It is an example of Parisian civil architecture, marked by successive transformations reflecting the stylistic and urban evolutions of these epochs. The hotel preserves characteristic elements of its era, including a facade and a roof on street, protected since 1977.

The protection of the building by the Historical Monuments, which took place by decree of 30 December 1977, specifically concerns the facade and roof of the hotel (excluding the building closing the courtyard). This classification reflects the heritage value of the building, linked to its architectural history and its integration into the Haussmann urban fabric. The identified contractors, AUBERT and GRAPILLARD, contributed to its design or modifications, although their exact roles are not detailed in the available sources.

Located at the corner of Caumartin Street and the Boulevard des Capucines, the building is located in a neighborhood in the throes of the 19th century, marked by major Haussmannian works. These transformations have redesigned Paris, mixing ancient heritage and modernity, as evidenced by this hotel whose exact address is intersected (2 and 2bis rue Caumartin ; 30 boulevard des Capucines) underlines its anchoring in a dynamic sector, between bourgeois residences and commercial activities. The accuracy of its location is estimated as fair (note 5/10), perhaps reflecting minor uncertainties about its exact location in heritage databases.
