Origin and history

Hotel Pellé de Montaleau, also known as Hotel de Bosredon, is a Parisian heritage hotel. Located in the 8th place des Victoires in the 2nd arrondissement, it occupies a central position between the hotels of Prévanches and Gigault de La Salle, on the northwest side of the square. Its architecture reflects the classic style of the late seventeenth century, a period of construction confirmed by the sources.

The building was listed as historic monuments on July 9, 1926, an official recognition of its heritage value. Only its facade on the square is protected by this decree, stressing its importance in the urban landscape. The hotel is associated with the architect Robert de Cotte, the architect identified in the archives, although his exact role in the design or realization is not detailed.

The Place des Victoires, where the hotel stands, is a place full of history, created under Louis XIV to celebrate French military victories. The surrounding private hotels, such as Pellé de Montaleau, testify to the aristocratic urbanization of Paris at that time. Their presence reflects the social prestige and economic power of the families who owned them, often related to the court or the royal administration.

Today, the Pellé de Montaleau Hotel remains a remarkable example of the civil architecture of the Grand Siècle. Although its current use (private residence, offices or other) is not specified in the sources, its inscription among the historical monuments guarantees the preservation of its facade, a key element of the architectural harmony of the Place des Victoires.
