This building illustrates the civil architectural style of Provence in the Enlightenment century, a period marked by the rise of urban residences for the aristocracy and the local bourgeoisie. The door of this hotel is subject to specific heritage protection, reflecting its historical and aesthetic interest.

The door to this private hotel was registered as historical monuments by order of 16 November 1949. This official recognition underscores the heritage value of this architectural element, typical of the monumental entrances to the 18th century Aixian mansions. The building is located in the historic centre of Aix-en-Provence, a city known for its rich architectural heritage and its major cultural role in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.

This discrepancy could be explained by urban changes or reference errors. The department of Bouches-du-Rhône, on which Aix-en-Provence depends, is identified by the code Insee 13001, confirming its administrative anchor in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.
