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.”

This was our first time in Paris and the staff made us feel right at home. Everyone was so nice and supportive helpful
The rooms were exceptionally clean and comfortable. The room we booked had a sample balcony that over looked the scenic view of the city and it was wonderful

Great unique and romantic stay for our 1 year anniversary.
Very unique stay and perfect for a romantic trip. Staff were excellent and always attentive. Decor in the hotel is great. A good size room with a comfy bed. Bar downstairs is perfect for a pre-dinner drink.
Rooms on the road side can be noisy with the bars nearby but staff were excellent in helping us move to the other side of the hotel. Breakfast is very pricy for the what it includes, should be at least €5-10 cheaper per person.

The location was perfect, decor resplendent and staff supremely accommodating, all culminating in an unforgettable taste
If privacy is what you’re after, then the hotel gives that overall feeling of separation from the outside world, and intimacy that we as a couple sought from our romantic Paris getaway. The history of the location was reflected in the decor, which gave character to the hotel and paid homage to its origins. It ticked every box in this respect!
There are spaces within the hotel that are dark and semi-secluded. The dim lighting is not dissimilar to a casino where the intention is to disorientate and cause the individual to lose track of space and time. Though the place is not vast, it’s possible to lose one’s bearings in the hotel…or their footing - as my partner did when she missed a step and fell down the stairs. Despite this, there is nothing else to fault about the hotel.

I love the fact that it was very discreet and exquisite very high and I felt like I had my own townhouse in the middle of Paris and I loved the decoration and the charm! Also amazing stuff always there and available ready to guide you and answer all of your questions I always felt very warm and welcome and the spa is out of this world! I had a very great stay there!

Perfect way to treat yourself for a celebrate a special occasion
Everything about my stay here was perfect, from walking in and being warmly greeted by Sarah, who took me through the hotel and explained its compelling history, to being shown to my room with a complimentary delicious refreshment. The room itself blew me away (first time I've stayed anywhere this nice), the furnishings were stunning and the bath was huge - had to have one immediately. Had a drink in the hotel bar and it was also beautiful, as was the service, before going to the private pool and steam room which was an experience I'd never had before! In the morning the breakfast served in bed (or downstairs if you prefer) was tasty and fresh and a real treat :) Had the best birthday there and would definitely recommend this romantic hotel with perfect service.

Unique design hotel with superb staff
Fantastic design, artwork, style, decor. Very unique hotel. The team (Salvatore in particular) were excellent and welcoming, and genuinely helped us with anything we needed from restaurant recommendations to practicalities. Private spa a nice touch
Rooms could use with tea/coffee facilities though the staff were quick to send one to room when needed

Super charming hotel with great staff and at a great price.
What an absolutely lovely hotel! The properties beautiful. The staff all went above and beyond for any request. The interior design is so well done. The cocktail bar was so charming with fantastic drinks and you can see locals would come in for drinks not just tourists. All in all this hotel is a great find. It was a wonderful way to spend two days in Paris for my birthday! Would definitely come back.
We liked it all!

Great hotel that falls just short of being excellent
This hotel is in an great location very close to Moulin Rouge and it's unique feature is that you can book their private pool and steam room (they call it a spa) for 1 hour a day while you're staying there. It's located under ground but is very nicely decorated, although a bit bare. Book it before you travel as the slots get filled every day and you won't want to miss it. Our biggest issue with this hotel was that we expected much better room facilities from a five star hotel. I mean you don't even get tea/coffee facilities and no iron or ironing board. Also being a spa hotel you would expect better toiletries in the room and some options for the "spa" even if you have to pay for them. So if you're planning to use the "spa" then make sure to take your own products as none are provided. In the spa there is no option for background music which in my opinion is another shortcoming to make the guest experience better. In one evening we dined at the lovely restaurant and that was great. All the food was prepared from preserved produce so no cooking but it was still very delicious and the decor is just lovely.
No tea/coffee facilities in the room, just two small bottles of water and no iron or ironing board in the room.

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.
