History & Heritage

Few know about it, but Le Burgundy Paris opened its doors in 1850. La Madeleine, then booming, was one of the liveliest areas of the city with its theatres, cafés, food courts, and luxury boutiques.

If the origin of the hotel’s name remains to this day a mystery, fashion being then with Anglomania, it is very likely that "Burgundy" was chosen to honour the numerous guests coming from Victorian England to spend time in Paris. For nearly 170 years, Le Burgundy, which experienced several lives at the mercy of its various owners, has been welcoming travellers from all around the world, making their stay in Paris a moment of exception.

Entirely restructured during major works between 2008 and 2010, Le Burgundy Paris is now the reflection of an ideal private house in the heart of Paris

Design & Features

Guy de Rougemont, a sculptor & painter who is a member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, has taken the hotel lobby from the Reception to La Verrière, making each space a showcase for his works. The sculpture-painting, like an explosion of colours dominating the large reception desk designed by cabinet maker Luc Avenel, and the white and grey marble puzzle intertwined with golden brass ribbons on the floor leading the way to La Verrière where sits an imposing marble sculpture make up a decor that leaves no one indifferent. Pieces of furniture designed and created by interior designer Patrick Juliot achieve to give this space leading to the restaurant, the bar, and the city, this style which is today the signature of Le Burgundy Paris. A style that he has interpreted in a drastically different way inside Restaurant Le Baudelaire, as well as in the Signature Suites.
