Hôtel des Grands Boulevards

Hôtel des Grands Boulevards is a 39-room boutique hotel at 17 Boulevard Poissonnière in the 2nd arrondissement, occupying a restored 18th-century mansion in one of central Paris's most animated neighbourhoods. The Grands Boulevards district in Île-de-France runs northeast from the Opéra to the Place de la République and has been a centre of Parisian entertainment since the 19th century. The hotel opened in 2018 and was designed by the Experimental Group, the team behind pioneering bar and restaurant concepts across Paris, New York, and Venice.

Rooms are spread across six floors and range from Standard and Superior categories to Junior Suites. Interiors feature a deliberately eclectic palette — painted ceiling murals, vintage lighting, velvet furniture, and handpicked antiques — that references Paris's decorative arts tradition while maintaining a contemporary sensibility. Many rooms look out over the Boulevard Poissonnière, a tree-lined boulevard that retains its 19th-century Haussmann architecture.

The hotel's ground-floor restaurant serves a French-Mediterranean menu using seasonal produce, while the mezzanine bar is known for its natural wine selection and aperitivo culture, drawing a mix of hotel guests and neighbourhood regulars. The rooftop terrace, open in warmer months, provides views over the zinc rooftops of the 2nd arrondissement and access to a compact outdoor bar.

A small fitness centre is available for guests. The concierge team provides access to Grands Boulevards cultural programming, including concerts at the nearby Trianon and Rex Club, film screenings at the Grand Rex cinema — one of Europe's largest — and curated itineraries across the adjacent 10th and 11th arrondissements. The hotel is a two-minute walk from Bonne Nouvelle Métro station (lines 8 and 9).
