Housed in the former Louvre Post Office, one of the grandest postal buildings in Paris, Madame Rêve has given a rather magnificent 19th-century landmark a decidedly glamorous second life. Designed by architect Julien Guadet and completed in 1888, the building once handled mountains of Parisian correspondence. These days, the guests are considerably better dressed, and the deliveries are more likely to involve champagne.
Opened in 2021, the hotel occupies part of the beautifully restored building, just steps from the Louvre, Les Halles and the Palais Royal. Its 83 rooms, suites and penthouse are a study in contemporary Parisian glamour… warm woods, rich golden tones, sumptuous fabrics and enormous windows. The décor pays a charming tribute to the building’s former life, with postal-inspired details throughout, including old envelopes dating back to its days as a working post office. Some rooms have private terraces with views across the city’s rooftops.
The atmosphere is sophisticated without being stuffy, with just enough theatrical flair to remind you that you are, after all, in Paris. The location is particularly appealing… wonderfully central, yet slightly removed from the more predictable luxury hotel neighbourhoods.
Number of Rooms
83 rooms, suites and penthouse.
Sweet Suite
The Penthouse, with its magnificent wraparound terrace overlooking the Paris rooftops. The generous outdoor space is particularly appealing in warmer months, when a glass of champagne with a view of the city is a very agreeable way to end the day.
Favorite Thing
The rooftop, without question. Cocktails with sweeping views across the zinc rooftops of Paris are hard to beat, particularly as the sun begins to set and the city starts to sparkle. It’s a fabulous place to linger over a drink (or two), although I actually preferred the food downstairs in Madame Rêve Café, the hotel’s spectacular lobby restaurant. My advice? Cocktails upstairs, dinner downstairs… the best of both worlds.
