Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa
Florid femme fatale
Pigalle playground
Once a Belle Époque pleasure house, now a jaw-dropping boutique hotel near Montmartre, Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa is well-versed in the art of seduction. Its brocade-adorned bedrooms are inspired by 19th-century Parisian courtesans, with old-world portraitures and opulent fabrics. Jacques Garcia’s glittering décor continues across a host of intimate salons, primed for dinnertime courting and cocktail-fuelled flirting. Orange blossom and almond fragrance its stellar (in both senses) spa, where private use of its pool and hammam bring a sybarite’s touch to soothing.

Our Favourite Rooms
Each more-is-more boudoir at Maison Souquet tells a story, inspired by the Belle Époque’s fascination for different cultures and styles. The Junior Suites are generous in every sense: you’ll get ample space; constant design details to feast on — gilded cornicing, brocade wallpaper, antique artwork — and the tea on French, feminine legends, such as La Belle Otero or La Castiglione.
Spa
Less a spa and more a cosmic cocoon, the Salon d’Eau glitters like a starry night sky. The petite, heated pool is set against cobalt and midnight blue hues, and a gold, celestial ceiling mural crowns the water like a constellation. The hammam shimmers with almost-iridescent indigo tiles, and you'll get an hour in the spa all to you yourself included with your stay. For a higher state of soothing, you can also book a signature massage, facial or body scrub.
Packing Tips
A maximalist streak.
Also
If the decadence of Parisian dining proves a bit too much, the hotel has partnered with round-the-corner fitness club 21 Blanche, which is kitted out with pretty workout spaces, a pool and spa to remedy any overindulgence.
Kinder
Welcome, but this dripping-in-gold stay is better suited to romantic, grown-up rendezvous. The two-bedroom suites sleep four, baby cots are free, and babysitting is available with advance notice for €100 an hour.

Food & Drink
Top Table
In the Winter Garden looking out at the greenery, or settle into a monarch-worthy armchair in the Salon of a Thousand and One Nights.
Kleiderordnung
Blending in here means the bolder, the better: you’ll want to don your Tom Ford velvet slippers, silk dresses and plenty of gold jewellery.
Hotel Restaurant
Instead of a formal restaurant, you can take your pick of a few communal spaces to dine in. You might take your breakfast in the Winter Garden, say, which is plush with magenta and bottle-green velvet, and opens out into a small jardin. An all-day menu of ‘light delicacies’ — such as caviar with blinis, Galician sardines or a cheese board — can be nibbled in the glittering Salon of a Thousand and One Nights or seductive Salon des Petits Bonheurs.
Hotel Bar
Like Goldilocks, you might like to try a cocktail in each salon to determine which one is just right for you. Its tipple menu is the same throughout, but a Leila (fresh raspberry-infused vodka with St-Germain liqueur and orange) matches the red-velvet-clad Salon des Petits Bonheurs. And the ingredients in a champagne-based Dita, which is laced with hibiscus and Chartreuse, share a similar colour palette to the Winter Garden room.
Last Orders
Breakfast is 7am to 11.30am; the all-day menu is served between 11.30am and 1am. The bar pours from 5pm until midnight.
Room Service
You can dine in your room at any hour.
Planes
Paris’ two international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, are each an hour’s drive from the hotel; staff can arrange one-way transfers from €200.
Trains
Gare du Nord is a 15-minute drive and hotel transfers can be organised for €150 each way. Gare de L’Est and Saint-Lazare are equally close, whereas Gare Montparnasse and de Lyon are each 40 minutes away by car. Plenty of Métro stations are nearby — walk a few minutes to Place de Clichy for lines two and 13.
Automobiles
Leave driving to the locals and opt for taxis, public transport or hand-in-hand strolls. Should you choose to drive, there’s charged parking near the hotel.
Worth Getting Out of Bed For
If Maison Souquet’s courtesan-inspired suites have piqued your curiosity for Paris’ saucier streak, you’re on the right side of town for some late-night revelry: cabaret legend Moulin Rouge is at the end of the street for dinner with a side of dancing. For less raunch and more romance, while away an afternoon wandering Montmartre’s art-adorned streets, concluding with a city-surveying sunset at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. A stroll along the Seine or around one of the city’s manicured jardins inspires similar affection, as do visits to Monet’s Water Lilies murals at Musée de l’Orangerie and designer shopping at Galeries Lafayette or in the Marais’ boutiques.
