Expert reviews
“Maison Souquet, is a renovated former bordello in Pigalle near the Moulin Rouge nightclub. Its Belle Époque salons are decorated with 19th-century furniture and first-edition books; each of its 14 rooms, 6 suites and 2 apartments is named after a famous Parisian courtesan; a hidden door in the basement leads to a pool and massage parlor.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Paris.
“Maison Souquet was a pleasure house during the belle époque – today it’s an extraordinary boutique address with a Jacques Garcia décor as indulgent and spirited as the illustrious courtesans it once housed. The 20 rooms ooze romance, guests can privatise the spa and the clandestine cocktail bar is wickedly pleasurable.”

Wonderful stay in a unique and luxurious hotel.
The interior design was superb, the staff were exceptional especially Florin. Loved the private pool and spa sessions.
Bathroom floor looked a little tacky as painted tiles needed attention, bedside lamp cord need attention

Great location, amazing hotel and friendly staff.
Lovely Breakfast, great quirky room with hidden door for bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helped recommend places to eat/drink nearby.
Couldn't fault it.

Magnifique
My brother and I travelled to Paris from London and stayed at Maison Souquet last week. The hotel is exceptional. From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted by friendly staff. Upon check-in, we received a tour of the hotel’s main rooms. It is an intimate and lavish setting. You are transported back in time by its 19th century decor; the Hotel had once been a high end brothel and the Hotel honors that history by its efforts to decorate in the style that would have been used at that time. The guilded walls, stained glass and marble surfaces give a rich inviting feel. There is sort of an Egyptian vibe in the lobby which makes sense for the time period in France. The hotel bar, well adorned in red velvet (as is the rest of the hotel’s first floor), is run by an attentive bar staff who expertly craft all manner of drink. You feel as if you’ve found a secret spot, because you have. Breakfast choices were more than adequate and the food was excellent; for us the cheese plate with fresh bread was the favorite. The guest rooms are beautiful, each one slightly different and honored with the name of an actual former woman of the night. Honoring these women seemed appropriate and necessary. It is located in a great part of Paris, right down the road from the Moulin Rouge and metro stop, but far enough away to still be quiet. If you don’t know about the Hotel, you could miss it from the street. The Hotel is small (just 20 rooms) but that enables the staff to provide the guests they have with extra special care. We can’t wait to go back!

The best hotel you'll ever stay in
We were treated like Royalty from the very start. I have never experienced such amazing service from staff. Everyone was so kind, friendly and professional and they all went out of their way to accommodate us. The decor and attention to detail within the hotel is amazing. It's worth just sitting and soaking up the luxury! We had a few games of cards and snacks abd drinks at the bar which was so fun and enjoyable. The facilities are amazing. Everything you could possibly need is catered for, you need only ask. I genuinely didn't know it was possible to feel that relaxed and pampered!! The spa pool and steam room was just the most relaxing and luxurious experience, an hour of swimming and reclining in the steam - perfect. The history of the place was so fascinating. The fact we were basically opposite the Moulin Rouge was soooo exciting! Everything about this hotel was what dreams are made of. I really couldn't believe such a wonderful experience exists and we were lucky enough to experience it.
I wish we had stayed another night and I wish we'd understood the rules of luxury travel a bit more. We kept doing things ourselves when actually the staff were more than happy to do things for us. For example there was a service that they'd unpack our bags for us while we went out exploring! Next time we will know.

A fantastic 5-Star hotel, perfect for a romantic get away with the most amazing staff.
At first I was unsure. Whilst the hotel is decorated throughout like something from a previous century, it is beautiful. Dark velvet drapes soak up sound, and it is always quiet which is amazing as the hotel is around 100m from Moulin Rouge. The staff are wonderful. We were assured most rooms were occupied but it felt like we were the only guests they had. There is a lovely private spa in the basement which is can be booked for an hour at a time. We took advantage of this facility, which was lovely.
The building itself is not very large, and consequently rooms are really quite small which is of course something they can't change. It is what it is. For me this hotel only works as a place to relax and unwind, preferably with a partner in beautiful surroundings. If that's what you want, you won't be disappointed. Therefore it would not be my go-to hotel for a business trip when one needs facilities for working in the room, but that was never the objective for this trip. In our room WiFi signal was poor, but fortunately we didn't need that.

exquisite
breakfast served to the room was incredible, lovely service to be able to request. The bar area was beautiful, with well made cocktails and exceptionally friendly staff.
The wifi in the room was not very good, and so made watching Netflix on the tv difficult.

Great staff, unique story and location. Very attentive and genuine
Just little thing like the sink handles leaked water on table. Powering devices was hard next to bed. Should have USB charging hub or outlet adapter.to bedside. Overall 9 out of 10.

The most romantic spot with true 5 start treatment.
What a beautiful hotel and with character unlike any other place we've stayed. If you are looking for a romantic spot, look no further! The history of this hotel, the decor, the lounge, and the private pool/spa all made this a perfect way for us to end our trip. The staff was beyond helpful and friendly!

Decor History Atmosphere Staff Cocktails - amazing!
Breakfast was good, but not amazing. Private access to spa/pool, but only if booked... we got in only once in three days. Rooms are smaller than you might expect for a 5 star. You get a fantastic hotel, but you have to part with good money for it.

Absolutely fantastic!
Maison Souquet is absolutely amazing. We loved the décor and the overall vibe. The room was really clean and comfy but the best part about our stay was the staff. They were so helpful and nice. We would definitely recommend staying here!
