At a glance
Hôtel Madame Rêve opened in October 2021 inside La Poste du Louvre, the former central post office of Paris, a Second Empire building on Rue du Louvre dating to 1888.
The conversion, led by interior designer Laurent Taïeb, preserved the original architecture throughout. Taïeb worked with around 30 craftsmen on the fittings and fixtures, with rich woods, marbles, bronze Bisazza tiles, and gold-flecked lighting running through the building.
The ground-floor restaurant alone has eight-metre ceilings, slender columns, and windows that run the full height of the room.
The hotel sits in the 1st arrondissement, steps from the Louvre, the Palais Royal, the Tuileries Gardens, and Rue Saint-Honoré, with the Centre Pompidou a short walk east and the Seine to the south.
Highlights
- Inside a 19th-century landmark building, the majority with terraces or balconies and views across the Paris rooftops, the Eiffel Tower, or the church of Saint-Eustache.
- Two restaurants and a 1,000sqm rooftop garden open to the city each evening.
- Wellness area with a sauna overlooking the streets of Paris.
- Steps from the Louvre and the Palais Royal in the heart of the 1st arrondissement, one of the most walkable positions in central Paris.
Accommodation
Rooms
Rooms range from 28sqm to 80sqm, each finished in walnut woodwork, warm velvet, and bespoke zellige tiles, with a design sensibility drawn from Art Nouveau. Walnut floors, custom-made fabrics, hand-picked artwork, and Maison Bisazza bronze mosaic tiles in the bathrooms run throughout all categories. More than half the rooms have a private terrace or balcony.
Entry-level rooms start at 28sqm with walk-in showers and city-facing outlooks. Superior rooms step up in space with views towards the Eiffel Tower or the Parisian roofscape. All rooms include a king bed, climate control, flat-screen TV, minibar, and free WiFi.
Suites
The suite collection is organised around the views each room frames. City-facing options include the Suite Tour Eiffel at 40sqm, the Suite Toit de Paris at 46sqm with a separate living room and rooftop skyline outlook, and the Suite Atelier at 53sqm, which draws on the layout of a Parisian studio.
For a quieter stay, the two garden-facing suites look onto the hotel’s hanging garden rather than the street, ranging from 59sqm with a private terrace to 78sqm with a separate living room and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Penthouse
The Penthouse sits at the top of the building with a wraparound terrace, a private entrance, a separate living room, a king bed, a bathroom with a bathtub and double vanity, a two-person sauna, and a 97-inch OLED 4K screen with a Devialet sound system in the living room. Views take in the full Paris panorama.

Food & Drink
Kitchen
The ground-floor restaurant occupies the former post office hall, with eight-metre ceilings, columns, candelabra, mahogany furnishings, and floor-length curtains. The menu takes a contemporary approach to French cuisine, with dishes available throughout the day. An outdoor terrace, the Cour Gutenberg, operates alongside the main dining room.
La Plume
La Plume sits at the top of the hotel and is the work of chef Benjamin Six, with a menu that draws on French ingredients through a Japanese lens. A private room and balcony can be booked for private dining, with views of Saint-Eustache and the Eiffel Tower from the dining room.
ROOF
The ROOF rooftop covers 1,000sqm within a planted garden of cherry trees and vegetation, with views across Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the Marais. Reserved for hotel guests during the day, it opens to the public each evening for cocktails and finger food.
Spa & Wellness
The wellness area covers 150sqm and includes two treatment rooms, a fitness room, and a sauna with views over the streets of Paris. Treatments include massages, facials, body scrubs, and reflexology.
The fitness room runs Technogym equipment and is open from 6am to 10pm daily. The hotel holds eco credentials including LEED, BREEAM, and Effinergie certification, with 400 solar panels on the rooftop supplying half the hotel’s hot water and a green roof planted with 70 trees.
France
France operates on Central European Time, one hour ahead of the UK and six hours ahead of the East Coast of the US. The TGV high-speed rail network is one of the best in the world and should be the default for inter-city travel: Paris to Lyon in two hours, Paris to Marseille in three, Paris to Bordeaux in just over two.

Emily in Paris Tour: Versailles, Champagne and the Riviera
Tailor-made VacationNine days following the show's most iconic locations, from the rooftops of Paris to the vineyards of Champagne and the glamour of the Riviera. Emily in Paris arrived on Netflix in 2020, during a period when most of the world couldn't travel anywhere, and the timing was not incidental to its success. The show offered something people were acutely missing: Paris in full color, the food, the fashion, the arguments, the light.
