Hôtel Madame Rêve is a stunning five-star boutique retreat located in the heart of Paris’s 1st arrondissement. Housed in the historic and fully rehabilitated Louvre Post Office, the hotel is a brilliant example of architectural transformation. The original structure, which operated 24/7 as a central post office for over a century, has been reimagined by founder and artistic director Laurent Taïeb into a space that perfectly blends historic grandeur with modern, dreamlike elegance.
The interior design is a sensory experience featuring precious woods, honeyed marble, and bespoke fabrics in a warm palette of golden yellows and browns. A unique touch is the subtle nod to the hotel’s namesake—the 1991 song “Madame Rêve” by Alain Bashung—with motifs of feminine silhouettes woven into carpets and lamp fittings. Most of the 82 rooms and suites are situated on the top floor, offering guests private terraces with unparalleled, panoramic views of iconic Parisian landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Sacré-Cœur.
Beyond its rooms, the hotel boasts a massive 1,000-square-meter rooftop garden that acts as an urban oasis above the city streets. Guests can enjoy high-end dining at La Plume, a Japanese-influenced restaurant, or soak in the lively atmosphere of the ground-floor Kitchen, which channels the spirit of Belle Époque Parisian cafés.
Its location is unbeatable for culture seekers. You are just a short stroll from world-class attractions, including the Louvre Museum, the Bourse de Commerce – Pinault Collection, and the Centre Pompidou, making it an ideal base for exploring the best of Paris.
Expert reviews
“This posh property is a soon-to-be-outed secret. Located on a discreet corner near Les Halles in what was once Paris’s only 24-hour post office, Madame Rêve is where well-heeled guests spend the night in stylish rooms with monument views, or at the hotel’s 10,000-square-foot rooftop and restaurant, primed for peak summer socializing.”
“Located within a short walk of both the Bourse de Commerce and the Samaritaine department store, this 82-room bolt-hole — one of the newest hotels in the City of Light — delivers on a comfortable yet fashionable experience, especially on its verdant, 10,000-square-foot rooftop and restaurant.”

Stylish and comfortable stay in a convenient location
Had a wonderful stay at hotel madame reve. From the moment we checked in, the hotel staff were so warm and welcoming. The view from the rooftop was beautiful. The rooms overlooking the courtyard had an amazing view and the sun lit the room beautifully in the afternoon. There was a taxi stop just across the hotel so it was always easy to get a taxi. The location was great, close to a lot of landmarks and walkable to other neighborhoods (La Marais, Saint Germain)
Overall a great stay and thank you to the very kind staff that made our stay feel very welcoming.
-there was no buffet at breakfast, only a la carte.

Great Location and people that work at the hotel
Amazing in every way . Balcony and the room is much better than on the pictures. Usually is vice- versa
Be careful with the bathroom door

A gem in the heart of Paris with stunning views and exceptionnel service.
Absolutely loved our stay at Madame Rêve. In the heart of the 1st arrondissement, steps from the Louvre, the Seine, and some of the best shopping in Paris. I was able to reserve a parking spot with valet service, which made arriving by card easy.
The hotel is stunning, with beautifully designed rooms and a warm, welcoming staff. After a full day of shopping, it was such a treat to unwind on our balcony and take in the city. We had an aperitif in the cozy outdoor garden patio before diner at La Plume, where we enjoyed an incredible French-Asian fusion dinner with one of the best views of the Paris skyline.
The rooms have black out curtains and is very quiet. We couldn’t hear any city noise and slept amazing. We will for sure stay here the next time we’re in Paris.

Perfect Paris spot
Beautiful rooms and they thought of all the extras for our baby - cot, baby bath and towel etc.
Breakfast to the room took ages! 90min day 1 but we didn’t put a card out, however we put out the card the night before for day 2 and still arrived 45min late. And rooms with babies should be prioritised closer to the lift as we were the last room at the end.

A stuning hotel in a great location with a very attentive staff!
It’s a stunning hotel with a brilliant location and the staff were all lovely. Both restaurants are amazing, the food and the atmosphere were incredible!
If i may say, the wardrobe was a tad on the small side and i am not a light packer!

Very good, but
Love the location, design and the aesthetics of this place
I wish after coming back there as a regular customer they could have accommodated my late check-out once. Also, i was woken up early in the morning by work done in the room next to mine. Perhaps should check first if that won’t create a problem for anyone. Also, sad to see the prices are going up for this hotel.

Wonderful, friendly, professional staff made our stay exceptional.
Decor was elegant but not stuffy.

New favorite hotel!
We chose Madame Rêve for a combo anniversary/birthday/babymoon trip with very high expectations, and they were exceeded in every way. The hotel went above and beyond to make our stay feel special (including non-alcoholic champagne!), and every staff person we interacted with was lovely. They even let us use the spa to freshen up after our red-eye when the room wasn't ready. The rooms are as beautiful and even roomier than they look in the pictures, and every space in the hotel is so thoughtfully designed—it feels like a seriously luxe hotel but is more stylish and less pricey than the other luxury hotels in Paris. We also loved the generous and delicious included breakfast. Fabulous location and the view from the roof is stunning. Checked every box and we can't wait to come back!

When I return to Paris, this will be where I stay.
Amazing location with a beautiful property and exceptional staff. We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in - the staff offered access to the spa to freshen up following our red eye travel.
Nothing comes to mind.

Good hotel option by Louvre
Good location with short walk to train station and sites. A little old school feeling, but not overly so. Nice room set up. Upgrade to Paris view was ok- but more of a typical street view. But still nice when laying in bed to see the clouds.

Beautiful hotel with top end interiors and restaurants
The interior design is this hotel is incredible - the attention to detail is tremendous. The rooftop bar is beautiful but so is the main restaurant and the ground floor bar. You are spoilt for choice. It’s in a gorgeous part of Paris for wandering about

Luxury hotel in perfect location.
Modern hotel in a beautiful old building. Fantastic views both from the room and the restaurants on 3rd and top floors. All staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Loved the tailor-made decorations appropriate to the original purpose of the building (post office). Perfect location - close to everything we wanted.
No basin for washing hands in toilet (need to walk around to the shower area).

Excellent stay with great amenities in a beautiful setting leaving little to be wanted.
Use of color, comfortable rooms with great views, lighting, downstairs dining room with high ceilings, wellness center, music in elevator - time of day appropriate,
art in bedroom, music too loud at upstairs bar, rooftop was closed,

A dreamy stay!
A dreamy hotel indeed! The location, stunning views, the calm and comfortable artistic rooms, the immaculate food quality and most of all the kind, friendly and helpful staff. A true gem in Paris!

Fantastic understated luxury in every detail
Excellent location, understated luxury in every detail. Fantastic asian restaurant and rooftop view.
Room was on the small side, but still very beautiful.

Had an excellent time in Paris and would stay again at any time.
The location was very good, we could reach most destinations easily by foot or by metro, with several tube stations being around the corner. The hotel is very nicely designed and in a unique spot. Restaurants were very good with very attentive staff. We really enjoyed our stay.
More storage in the room, the wardrobe was a bit small for two people staying for a few days. Also the bathroom could have done with a bit more space to leave toiletries (but that's the same in most hotels).

Style and comfort
There are a very parisianer atmosphere in the room. Particularly, I like windows in the room and view from the breakfast restaurant. The hotel is very stylish 🥰 good location too.

Fantastic stay and would come again
The atmosphere, the decor, the service, the facilities and location were great! Concierge always happy to help and service with a smile.
Breakfast too expensive when it is so easy to get amazing breakfast for much less outside of the hotel.

Art tour around Paris
Every member of the team, starting from the reception, to breakfast, to dinner experience, going the extra mile to make the stay even more comfortable and pleasant. And the food at La Plume - exceptional.
