About Hôtel Lutetia

Hôtel Lutetia – named after the Roman city that would later become Paris – was founded in 1910 by the Boucicaut family, the  visionary founders and owners of Le Bon Marché. Designed by Léon Binet and Paul Belmondo, the hotel’s unique blend of Art  Nouveau and Art Deco styles is a beacon of elegance and architectural innovation. 

As a witness to history, the Lutetia was requisitioned by occupying forces during the Second World War, marking a solemn  period in its history. Following the liberation of Paris, it quickly converted to a sanctuary for people and families returning  from the camps, embodying resilience, compassion and hope. These pivotal moments have also woven the Lutetia into the  fabric of the city’s rich historical narrative. 

From its earliest days, and linked to its unique Left Bank location, Hôtel Lutetia has been a meeting ground for artists, intellectuals and visionaries. Writers, sculptors, intellectuals and celebrities
