Behind a discreet double carriage door in midnight blue, 1 Place Vendôme reveals an extraordinary, intimate universe. The iconic "C" of Chopard, subtly embedded in wrought ironwork, gently signals the promise of a unique experience. Beyond a smoked-glass door lies the refined atmosphere of a family home, enriched by generations of values and craftsmanship.



This historical landmark, meticulously preserved, is reimagined through the contemporary vision of Pierre-Yves Rochon. Here, heritage and modernity strike a delicate balance. Every detail reflects an elegance, where time seems to pause and gestures become meaningful. Guests stepping into this exceptional address are invited to lose themselves in its beauty, rediscovering a luxury that values quietness, meticulous craftsmanship, and personalized hospitality.



Inside, 1 Place Vendôme exudes the spirit of a private residence, graceful and welcoming. The 15 suites and rooms, each uniquely designed, blend textures, colors, and narratives to create spaces imbued with character and charm. In the entrance hall, guests encounter a Louis XV-era fireplace, exquisite moldings by Auberlet & Laurent, and a glass bead artwork by Jean-Michel Othoniel. Luxury here is understated, intimate, and almost secretive.



On the first floor, the salons redefine the art of hosting. These inviting spaces, including a library, a cozy Asiatic inspired smoking lounge, and a mosaic covered winter garden, evoke a sense of home. The ambiance is warm, almost familiar, far removed from the formality of grand houses. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, embodying a new interpretation of luxury that values time, authenticity, and shared experiences.



Built in 1723 and classified as a Historic Monument, this hôtel particulier is more than a place to stay, it is a living, breathing embodiment of history and a contemporary vision. Every moment within its walls is designed to leave a lasting impression, like a cherished conversation. At 1 Place Vendôme, guests are invited to reimagine time, rediscover the essence of luxury, and savor the beauty of life in its simplest, most human form.
