Maison Souquet

Presentation

Belle Époque decor designed by Jacques Garcia in a former pleasure house in Pigalle

Behind a discreet façade, marked by two red lanterns that recall its past, Maison Souquet opens the doors to a place wrapped in mystery, in the heart of the vibrant Pigalle district. This former pleasure house, reinterpreted with finesse, draws its inspiration from the splendor of the Belle Époque. From the vestibule onward, contemporary Paris fades away in favor of a décor where velvet, wood paneling, mirrors, and silk fabrics converse under dimmed lighting. The hand of Jacques Garcia, master of staging, has composed a true theater of emotions here: adjoining salons, a Murano chandelier, a monumental fireplace surrounded by upholstered armchairs, and a winter garden with oriental lines. The silky silence of the thick carpets completes the transformation of the passage into a precious confidences.

Twenty rooms and suites inspired by figures of Parisian demi-monde

The hotel has twenty rooms and suites, each paying tribute to a mythical figure of the Parisian demi-monde, blending whimsical elegance, mysterious exoticism, and voluptuous softness. Depending on the floor, the décors reveal influences from India, Japan, China, or the Second Empire, enhanced by rare fabrics, carefully selected art objects, and nude paintings of unapologetic sensuality. The suites are laid out as charming little apartments with an adjoining living room and spaces conducive to relaxation. All offer contemporary comfort — high-end bedding, adjustable air conditioning, a bathroom with a bathtub or walk-in shower, Hermès bath products, and a smart TV — without ever breaking the overall harmony.

The water salon: a private spa with a ten-meter pool, hammam, and gold-leaf vault

To extend the escape, the water salon opens for an hour of absolute relaxation. This private spa, reserved for one guest at a time, houses a ten-meter pool beneath a starry vault highlighted with gold leaf. In the soft dimness of a décor inspired by Villa Stuck, the hammam and treatment room extend this immersion into a world suspended between dream and voluptuousness.

Cocktail bar, library lounge, and sharing plates served in the room or lounge

On the ground floor, the library lounge welcomes guests in a hushed atmosphere, extended by an elegant bar offering cocktails and rare spirits to be savored in front of the fireplace. The hotel does not have a restaurant in the traditional sense: a menu of sharing dishes — burrata, salmon roe, caviar, or pesto penne — is served in the various lounges or directly in the room, with no time constraints or formality. The service stands out for its discreet and constant attention, with room service available at any hour, treatments on request, and a concierge attentive to every desire.

A romantic getaway for couples in the heart of Paris

Travelers in pairs will be especially sensitive to the enveloping atmosphere that reigns here. Every corner seems designed for intimacy, every room offers a setting conducive to shared moments. For a romantic escape, Maison Souquet offers one of the capital’s most singular experiences, away from the bustle but a stone’s throw from Montmartre.
