Origin and history

Hotel Lalique is an iconic mansion in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, built in the early 20th century. Two distinct sources mention this monument: according to Wikipedia, it was built in 1903 by architects Albert and Louis Feine for the glassmaker René Lalique, with a neogothic facade and a glass door signed Lalique. The façade and roof were listed as historical monuments in 1964.

According to Monumentum, another private hotel located 33-33bis rue Jean-Goujon was built in 1907 by architect Ernest Rahir, presenting a Louis XVI facade and an oval hall illuminated by a zenithal window. This building was fully listed as historical monuments in 2014. Both sources describe separate hotels, although both associated with renowned craftsmen (Lalique for the first, Rahir for the second) and located in the same district.

The Hotel de la rue Jean-Goujon preserves original interior decorations, especially in the main rooms on the ground floor. Its interior structure, with a central vacuum and balustrades on each floor, illustrates an innovative architectural research for the time. These two private hotels testify to the artistic dynamism of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century, mixing tradition and modernity.

The protections for historical monuments underline their heritage value: partial registration in 1964 for the Hotel Lalique (Course Albert-Ier), and total registration in 2014 for the Hotel de la rue Jean-Goujon. However, their conservation status and accessibility remain poorly documented in available sources.
