Hyatt has officially reopened Hôtel du Louvre in Paris following a complete renovation. Positioned in the heart of the city’s Palais-Royal district and surrounded by the Musée du Louvre, the Comédie-Française, the Palais Garnier and Palais Royal, the 164 rooms and suites have been fully redesigned to reflect the hotel’s original Parisian style with high ceilings, elegant moldings, marble floors reminiscent of the Opéra Garnier and chic Parisian furniture. Originally opened in 1855 as Paris’ first grand hotel, the property is a self-standing central landmark that epitomises Napoleon-era Paris. The Second French Empire architecture and the modern interior design provide a bold and thoughtful contrast to this extraordinary hotel. It draws inspiration from the personalities that have shaped the hotel’s rich history, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Victor Hugo and Sigmund Freud.

Hôtel du Louvre is the fifth property in Europe to open as part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt.
