Hilton Paris Opéra occupies a Belle Époque building at 108 Rue Saint-Lazare, directly adjacent to the Gare Saint-Lazare in the 8th arrondissement, one of Paris's six major railway terminals. Built in 1889 to serve travellers arriving by train, the hotel retains much of its original ornate architecture, including a grand staircase and decorative plasterwork, now run as a four-star property under the Hilton brand.
The 268 rooms and suites, spanning Guest room, Executive, Junior Suite, and Suite categories, combine the building's Belle Époque architectural bones with contemporary furnishings and modern bathrooms. Executive rooms and above include access to an executive lounge with complimentary breakfast and evening refreshments.
Le Grand Café Restaurant, set beneath the hotel's original glass-and-iron atrium ceiling, is one of the more architecturally distinctive dining rooms among Paris's grand station hotels, serving French brasserie classics throughout the day. A bar, fitness centre, and business centre with meeting rooms round out the property's amenities, reflecting its strong appeal to business travellers given the adjacent station.
The Gare Saint-Lazare location provides direct rail access to Normandy and the western suburbs, while also being a 10-minute walk from the Opéra Garnier, the Galeries Lafayette, and the Madeleine church. Saint-Lazare Métro and RER station (multiple lines including RER A and E) is immediately adjacent to the hotel.
