Origin and history
Hotel Lalique is a private hotel located at 40 Albert-Ier course in the 8th arrondissement of Paris. Built in 1903, it is distinguished by its neo-Gothic architecture and its close link with glass artist René Lalique, who designed the drawings and made the glass door. This monument illustrates the alliance between decorative art and private architecture at the beginning of the 20th century, in a Parisian neighbourhood then undergoing urban and artistic transformation.
The facade and roof on the rue de l'Hôtel Lalique were listed as historical monuments in 1964, recognizing their heritage value. This building reflects the expertise of architects Albert and Louis Feine, who worked with René Lalique to create a functional and aesthetic residence. The front door, a major work by Lalique, embodies technical innovation and Art Nouveau style, lastingly marking the history of French decorative art.
Today, the Lalique Hotel is part of the historical monuments landscape of the 8th arrondissement, alongside other private hotels and emblematic buildings. Its official inscription underlines its importance in the Parisian heritage, while recalling René Lalique's central role in the renewal of applied arts at the turn of the century. The building remains a remarkable example of the integration of art into home architecture, characteristic of the period.
