Château Voltaire Paris 5*
A chic artistic hideaway between the Louvre and Opéra Garnier.
Where Parisian folklore, art world reverie and boutique spirit intertwine.
Hotel Overview
Château Voltaire is a quietly sophisticated hotel nestled between Saint-Honoré and the Palais Royal. Founded by the creator of Zadig & Voltaire, it blends 18th-century architecture with artistic irreverence. Its 32 rooms and suites feel like the Paris apartment of a designer friend—trompe-l’œil walls, velvet banquettes, and books beside the bed. Intimate yet expressive, the hotel reimagines Parisian charm with eccentric touches, personal flair and subtle nods to the city’s literary past.
The Facilities at a Glance
The hotel’s Brasserie l’Emil offers simple, elegant cuisine in a relaxed setting with a hidden garden terrace. La Coquille d’Or is a low-lit bar ideal for aperitifs or late-night classics. Downstairs, a small spa includes a sauna, plunge pool and treatment area for restorative care. Rooms include curated minibars, Bluetooth speakers, and fine linens. A small rooftop suite with panoramic views can be reserved for special occasions. Concierge services are warm and intuitive, favouring quiet generosity.
Our Personal Recommendations
Château Voltaire is for travellers who appreciate understatement and creativity. Begin your evening with a drink at La Coquille d’Or before a walk through the nearby Palais Royal gardens. Ask the concierge for their favourite secondhand bookshops or a late-night wine bar tucked away on Rue Saint-Roch. For a special stay, reserve the top-floor suite with its copper bathtub and wraparound terrace—sunrise here feels cinematic. It’s a hotel that doesn’t try to impress—yet effortlessly does.
