3 new hotel openings in Paris to watch in 2026

Pigalle’s old rock club now has room keys, which is exactly the kind of Paris excess worth taking seriously. Hôtel Bus Palladium turns the 1965 nightlife landmark into a five-star, 35-room hotel by Chapitre Six Hotels, with Studio KO pushing the building into cork walls, raw concrete, red velvet, microphone-stem door handles and vintage ‘On-Air’ sliders. Caroline de Maigret handles the artistic direction, from amber scent to playlists and denim-corduroy uniforms. Book the Dalí Suite for 70 square metres, a balcony, red neon view, Murphy bed and retro-futurist furniture; stay downstairs for Valentin Raffali’s restaurant-bar and the revived Bus Palladium club.

Opposite the Sorbonne in Paris’s fifth arrondissement, Hôtel Salvia Paris is for days when you want the Latin Quarter outside, then a quiet reset inside. Rooms are compact and honest: Cocoon starts at nine square metres, Prestige goes up to twenty-three, with a top-floor option that looks towards the Panthéon and the university rooftops. Smart TVs come with Chromecast, there’s Nespresso in-room and the higher categories add reversible air conditioning. Pets under ten kilos are welcome, which says a lot about the vibe.

In Paris’s 16th arrondissement near the Arc de Triomphe, L’Aventure is a Beaumarly mash-up of five-star hotel, restaurant and private club, designed to keep you in the building all night. Public spaces by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio riff on Victor Hugo’s The Legend of the Ages, with Art Deco mood, polished marble, velvet and mythological mosaics, plus digital scenography and lighting by Isometrix. Upstairs, the 15-room hotel is Vincent Darré’s playground, with hand-painted surrealist frescoes and scavenged furniture that swings between Haussmannian and 1970s.
