Origin and history

The Hotel 5 Place d'Iéna in the 16th arrondissement of Paris is a monument built in the 19th century. This building, whose facades and roofs on garden have been inscribed in the Historical Monuments since 1975, illustrates the bourgeois residential architecture typical of this period in Paris. Its location, in a neighbourhood then in full urban development, reflects the expansion of the capital under the Second Empire and the Third Republic.

The partial protection of the Hotel by decree of 20 May 1975 specifically concerns its exterior elements overlooking the garden, highlighting their heritage value. Although the accuracy of its location is considered "a priori satisfactory" (note 6/10), its exact address is clearly identified in the official databases. Today, the building belongs to a public establishment, but information on its accessibility (visits, rentals) is not specified in the available sources.

The 16th arrondissement, where this hotel is located, developed in the 19th century as a residential area popular with the Parisian bourgeoisie. The private hotels of that time, often built on spacious plots, testify to the easy lifestyle of their owners. These buildings, like that of the Place d'Iéna, were designed to combine modern comfort, social representation and integration in a changing urban setting.
