Origin and history

The Perrinet de Jars hotel is a private hotel built in 1714 by architect Pierre Grandhomme for Anne Levieux, wife of a financier. Located at 33 rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, it bears the name of Stephen Perrinet de Jars, a general farmer who acquired it and had it transformed by Jean-Michel Chevotet. His woodwork, made in 1762 by Étienne-Louis Boullée for another hotel, was later taken up.

In 1810, the Duke Decrès, minister of the navy under Napoleon I, became its owner. Between 1849 and 1864, the hotel was rented at the Russian embassy before being bought in 1856 by Baron Nathaniel de Rothschild. The latter entrusts his renovation to Léon Ohnet, who reconstructs the body on street and staircase, integrating historical woodwork.

Since 1920, the hotel has been home to the Inter-Allied Union Circle, after its acquisition from Henri de Rothschild. The building, raised in 1928, was listed as a historic monument in the same year. He now embodies an emblematic place of Parisian diplomacy and circles, mixing architectural heritage and political history.
