Lutetia, Paris, the legendary palace hotel of the Left Bank

Reconciling the demands of a contemporary palace hotel with respect for a protected heritage.

Opened in 1910 on boulevard Raspail by the Boucicaut family, founders of Le Bon Marché, the Lutetia is one of the Left Bank’s most legendary addresses. Protected as a historic monument since 2007, it reopened in 2018 with 184 keys, after a four-year renovation led by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, and was awarded Palace status in 2019.

Saint-Honoré had the privilege of working in this storied landmark. Delivered with a multitude of contractors, the project required meticulous, reinforced supervision to reconcile the demands of a contemporary palace with respect for a protected heritage.

Bringing a palace hotel of today to life within the walls of a historic landmark.
