“Built in 1827, L’Hotel is the last place that Oscar Wilde resided, and holds a special place in Parisians’ hearts. The discreet and historic five-star hotel has 20 glamorous rooms, including a nearly 600-square-foot penthouse with a terrace a restaurant bar and hammam pool in the basement.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Paris.
“In a quiet quayside street, this award-winning hostelry is the stuff of romance, Parisian myths and urban legends. Rock- and film-star patrons fight to sleep in room 16, where Oscar Wilde died in 1900 and which is now decorated with a peacock motif.”
“This address is famous for being the hotel where Oscar Wilde died, but it offers more than history, with an excellent location in the heart of St-Germain, a Michelin-starred restaurant and sumptuous décor from Jacques Garcia.”

After a wonderful day of adventuring, guests can come back to the lavishly and comfortably decorated rooms. They are a mix of Empire style and Baroque detailing. This combination is prominent in the wood panels, elaborately carved wood features, grand bed heads, exquisitely patterned wallpaper and antique embellishments. Many visitors love staying in the Oscar Wilde room, which has framed pictures, manuscripts and artifacts of his work, placed there to celebrate his life after his death in the room in 1990.
