Origin and history

Hotel Rivié is a historic monument located at 30-32 rue du Sentier, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris. Built between the 18th and 19th centuries, it embodies the bourgeois residential architecture of this period. Its facades, roofs and interior decorations were protected by a registration order in 2001, highlighting their heritage value.

The building consists of two adjoining buildings, one of which houses a former mansion. The protected elements include the street and courtyard facades, as well as the check-in and interior decor of the hotel. This type of architecture reflects the Haussmannian urbanization and the development of the central neighbourhoods of Paris, where private hotels were alongside the reporting buildings.

The sculptors Nicolas Pineau and Barthélémy Guillaume are associated with the creation of certain decorative elements of the Hotel Rivié. Their artistic contribution, typical of the eighteenth century, reinforces the historic character of the site. Today, the building belongs to a private company, and its access to the public is not specified in the available sources.

The location of Hotel Rivié, in the Sentier district, is marked by a geographical accuracy deemed very satisfactory (note of 8/10). This area, historically linked to crafts and commerce, has undergone a major urban transformation over the centuries, of which this monument is a witness.

The partial registration of the Hotel Rivié as a Historic Monument in 2001 aims to preserve its architectural heritage. This protection applies specifically to facades, roofs and interior decorations, reflecting the importance attached to the preservation of the most representative elements of its time.

Available sources, including Monumentum, provide detailed information on the architectural features and location of the monument. However, little is known about its specific history, its successive owners or its current use, apart from its private property status.
