Origin and history

The Hôtel de Courteilles, located at 110 rue de Grenelle in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic monument whose construction spans between the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. This building illustrates the architectural evolution of this period, combining an original 18th century house body with later extensions. The ensemble reflects the fashionable styles among the aristocracy and the Parisian bourgeoisie of the time, with particular attention to symmetry and refined interior decors.

The hotel has been partially protected under the Historic Monuments since 24 March 1993. This protection specifically concerns the old 18th century house body, classified for its heritage value, as well as the floor of the court of honour and the garden, accompanied by an adjacent building designed by architect Alphonse de Gisors in the 19th century, inscribed for their historical complementarity. Architects Mathurin Cherpitel (18th century) and Alphonse de Gisors (19th century) marked the building of their respective styles, the first by its classicism, the second by more modern adaptations.

The location of the hotel in a central district of Paris highlights its importance in the urban fabric. The historic and residential rue de Grenelle is home to several comparable private hotels, demonstrating the social prestige associated with these homes. Although the sources do not specify its current use (visits, rental, private residence), its status as a Historic Monument makes it a key element of Parisian heritage, preserved for future generations.
