Timeline

Origin and history

The Hotel Delpech de Chaunot is a private hotel located in 8 Place Vendôme, in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. Built during the 1st quarter of the 18th century, it illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by the refinement of facades and integration into a prestigious urban setting. Its facades on Place Vendôme were inscribed in the Historic Monuments by decree of 6 May 1927, highlighting their heritage value.

Vendôme Square, created under Louis XIV, was a privileged place of residence for the aristocracy and the wealthy bourgeoisie. The Delpech Hotel in Chaunot is in this context, reflecting the social status of its successive owners. Today, the building belongs to a private company, and its access to the public (visits, rentals) is not specified in the available sources. The exact location, confirmed by GPS coordinates, corresponds to the historical address recorded in the Merimée base.
