Madame Rêve
Contemporary luxury with genuine soul. Warm amber tones, walnut paneling, oak floors, bronze Bisazza mosaic bathrooms, and over 800 pieces of mail art commissioned from 700 artists. The corridors run notably dim — atmospheric or frustrating depending on your temperament. The crowd skews fashionable and Parisian-adjacent. Not stuffy, not minimalist; rich materials with a lightness of touch.
Parisians tend to book the quieter sky-garden-facing courtyard rooms — they're more serene than the monument-view rooms and still lovely
Why It Matters
One of the very few luxury hotels in Paris housed inside a working post office (La Poste still operates on the 2nd floor — guests can mail letters using the hotel's Mont Blanc fountain pens and logo stationery). The architectural bones are extraordinary: a 19th-century Haussmannian edifice with soaring ceilings on the ground floor and glass-roofed guest corridors above. The 1,000-sqm rooftop garden planted with cherry trees is genuinely one of the best in the city. Listed on the 2022 Condé Nast Traveler Hot List.
The Louvre Post Office — La Poste du Louvre, a grand Haussmannian building dating to 1888 — closed in 2015. Founder and art director Laurent Taïeb saw something most people missed and transformed it into a 5-star hotel spanning 7,000 sqm. The result is 83 rooms and suites (plus a 130-sqm penthouse) stacked under a monumental glass roof, nearly all with private terraces or balconies and views of something recognizable: the Eiffel Tower, Montmartre, Saint-Eustache, or a lush suspended garden. Add a 1,000-sqm rooftop, two proper restaurants, and a small but serious spa, and this isn't just a place to sleep near the Louvre — it's a destination in itself.
Where You'll Stay
14 room types available
Deluxe Room – Eiffel Tower View
A step up in size — 34 sqm — with direct Eiffel Tower views. Bright, golden-brown palette with bronzed mosaic bathroom tiles. The kind of room worth paying more for on a clear evening.
34 sqmDeluxe Room – Exceptional Monument View
Faces the historic monuments — Saint-Eustache, Notre-Dame, or other landmarks depending on exact placement. 29 sqm, golden-brown mosaic tiles, classic Parisian atelier feel. The 'exceptional view' category commands the premium monument sightlines.
29 sqmDeluxe Room – Garden View
Opens onto a balcony overlooking the hotel's hanging garden — the quieter, greener alternative to the city-facing rooms. Warm golden tones, walnut panels, mosaic-tiled bathroom. A genuinely peaceful spot in central Paris.
Deluxe Room – Paris Rooftop View
30 to 35 sqm with architecture inspired by a Parisian atelier. The rooftop views at sunrise and sunset are the selling point — zinc rooflines stretching toward Montmartre. Decorated in golden and woody tones.
30 sqmExecutive Room – Eiffel Tower View Terrace
The entry-level Eiffel Tower-facing room. At 29 sqm it's the most compact in the lineup, but the private terrace and golden-hour Tower views more than compensate. Bathed in sunlight, mosaic bathroom in gold tones.
29 sqmFamily Junior Suite – Garden View
42 to 50 sqm with a private terrace overlooking the hanging garden. A king bed plus sofa bed for families. Warm French savoir-faire aesthetic with bespoke fabrics and contemporary furniture. One of the few configurations where this hotel works for a family.

59 sqmGrande Suite – Eiffel Tower
70 sqm, two bedrooms, spectacular Eiffel Tower view. The spacious bathroom floods with natural light and delivers 180-degree views over Paris and the Tower. Decorated in golden-brown shades with walnut — the essence of the hotel's material language at its most generous.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Bikes available for hire to explore the surrounding 1st arrondissement. Tuileries, the riverbanks, and the Marais are all flat, easy cycling distance.
The 2nd floor of the building is still an operating French post office. Rooms come with a Mont Blanc fountain pen and hotel-branded stationery and envelopes. Write a postcard or letter and drop it at La Poste upstairs — the building's original purpose, still functioning.
Several flexible spaces can be privately reserved for meetings, seminars, cocktail events, or intimate receptions. The ROOF terrace can also be hired privately.
On request, the hotel can arrange a private yoga class on the ROOF garden at sunrise — before the city wakes up and well before the public arrives. One of the more memorable ways to start a Paris morning.
The hotel arranges exclusive VIP access tours to the Louvre, curated through dedicated partners. An 8-minute walk from the front door — the proximity is the whole point.
