Origin and history

The hotel, located at 12 rue de Courcelles, in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic building of the 1st quarter of the 19th century. Its facades and roofs, remarkable by their architecture, were inscribed in the Historical Monuments by order of 4 June 1975. This building illustrates the architectural style in vogue under the Restoration, a period marked by a revival of classical forms and a search for elegance in Parisian private hotels.

The architect Bernard Poyet is identified as the masterpiece of this hotel. Owned by a private company, the building retains a prestigious character, typical of the aristocratic or bourgeois residences of the time. Its location in the 8th arrondissement, then booming district, reflects the urbanization and transformation of Paris in the early 19th century, where private hotels become symbols of social status.

Available sources, including the Merimée and Monumentum database, confirm its exact address and protected status. The accuracy of its location is estimated to be "passable" (note 5/10), while photographs licensed under Creative Commons, such as Moonik's, document its current appearance. The lack of additional details on its history or occupants limits the knowledge of its precise role in Parisian history, but its inscription bears witness to its recognized heritage value.
