Origin and history

Hotel du Puy de Peyrins is a private hotel located in Romans-sur-Isère, in the Drôme department, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Built in the 18th century, this building illustrates the civil architecture of this period, marked by the emergence of urban residences for local elites. Its inscription in the title of historical monuments, effective since 22 December 1981, specifically concerns its interior staircase and its wrought iron ramp, remarkable elements of its heritage.

Romans-sur-Isère, a dynamic city of the Drôme, experienced in the eighteenth century an economic boom linked to its craft and commercial activities, especially in the field of footwear. Private hotels, such as the Puy de Peyrins, reflect the social status of their owners, often merchants or local notables. These urban residences serve as both a place of life and a place of representation, embodying the prestige of their occupants in a hierarchical society.

Today, the Puy de Peyrins hotel remains a private property, and its state of conservation depends on its successive owners. Although its access to the public is not explicitly mentioned, its classification among the historical monuments of the Drôme makes it a protected architectural testimony. The Mérimée base and local sources, such as Monumentum, document its precise address (1 rue du Puy or 39 rue Saint-Nicolas) and its protected element, highlighting its heritage importance in the commune.
