Origin and history

The former hotel located at 3 rue Louis-le-Grand, in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, is an emblematic building of the 1st quarter of the 18th century. This monument, partially protected by an inscription under the title of Historical Monuments since 1925, illustrates the Parisian civil architecture of this period. Its façade on the ground floor, the only part classified, bears witness to decorative styles and construction techniques in vogue during the reign of Louis XIV and the Regency.

The architect Jules-Michel Hardouin, known for his achievements during the reign of Louis XIV, is associated with this hotel. Although the sources do not specify its exact role, its name suggests intervention in the design or renovation of the building. The exact address, confirmed by the Merimée bases and GPS coordinates, places the building in a central district of Paris, marked by an increasing urbanization in the early eighteenth century. The accuracy of its location is estimated as "passible" (level 5/10), perhaps reflecting minor uncertainties about its historical location.

Ranked a Historic Monument in 1925, this hotel is one of the many Parisian buildings protected for their heritage value. The protection concerns a specific part of its façade, emphasizing its architectural interest without including the entire building. Available sources, such as Monumentum, do not specify whether the hotel is open to the public, rented for events, or converted into a private residence. Its present state and contemporary uses therefore remain partially documented.
