Overview

Hôtel Fontaines du Luxembourg is a boutique hotel right in the heart of Paris, France, set in a 17th-century building once used as a coach house by King Louis XVI, and only opened as a public accommodation in the 20th century. Its location is ideal for guests wishing to explore Paris and its landmarks, such as the nearby Pantheon and Notre-Dame Cathedral. Its traditional appearance accompanies modern influences and conveniences such as air conditioning and internet access. Visitors will be able to enjoy a Continental buffet breakfast featuring French staple pastries while in the dining room, or relax with a drink at the lounge or patio. A unique hospitality experience awaits guests staying at this luxurious property. 

History

Hôtel Fontaines du Luxembourg features a long history that stretches back to the 17th century, when it was established by King Louis XVI right in the middle of Paris as a coach house. Over the next few centuries, the property was able to survive and remain largely unchanged and undamaged despite later events such as the French Revolution, the Napoleonic Wars, the invasions of France during both World Wars, and the Cold War. However, it would only be in the 20th century when the property was opened as a publicly available accommodation. In the process, the property has retained its original features while also providing for modern conveniences and renovations.

Design and Architecture

Hôtel Fontaines du Luxembourg largely exemplifies 17th-century architecture with its stone brick walls that nonetheless conform to the large-scale architectural redesigns brought about by the Haussmann renovations during the 19th century. While the four-level height was retained and lower levels keep the exterior surface features of the original facade of the structure, the upper levels more closely feature the Haussman renovations as seen in its use of pièrre de taille material, mansard roofs and dormer windows, the slightly taller heights of its second and third levels, and a consistent height of around 12 to 20 meters. Details such as windows and signage are decidedly modern in material and design, as well as other needed or integrated attributes, such as internal and external accessibility features that allow guests with mobility issues to enter and use the facilities of the property.

By contrast, interior spaces feature a more colorful yet also rather modernized design, with various portraits and tapestries alongside tiled or wooden floors, and even matching designs for indoor elements such as curtains and carpets. Indeed, interior design is rather eclectic, with some spaces containing smooth, simple monochromatic surface features that are only adorned by mirrors or portraits. Other surfaces have somewhat rough and uncut stone, while spaces such as bathrooms and toilets have their tiles extend to both floors and walls. Alternatively, walls can be plain, fitted with large paintings, or even have tapestries directly painted on their surface. Furniture and fixtures are similarly eclectic, with no single style or design being dominant, spanning a wide range from classically styled to Baroque, Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, and even minimalist functionalist designs.
