In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris, L'Hôtel is a 5-star luxury hotel. Oscar Wilde spent his final days in room 16 of what was then known as the Hôtel d'Alsace, memorably stating, "I am dying beyond my means." Marlon Brando, actress and singer Mistinguett, and writer Jorge Luis Borges were among the former occupants, who described it as "sculpted by a cabinet builder." Borges' stay at this hotel was not by chance: when he was nine, he translated Wilde's "The Happy Prince" into Spanish, and he had become a major follower of his work since then; Borges intended to die where his boyhood writer had also died.

L’Hotel was built in 1828 by Célestin-Joseph Happe. After undergoing substantial renovations in 1967, L'Hotel quickly became the place to be seen in Paris, with everyone from Salvador Dali, Princess Grace, Frank Sinatra, and Elizabeth Taylor to Richard Burton, Jim Morrison, and Serge Gainsbourg passing through its doors.

Following a spectacular renovation by famed designer Jacques Garcia, which received numerous plaudits and prizes, L'Hotel's iconic role as the main hotel on the Left Bank was reinforced. L'hotel is 700 meters from the Louvre Museum, while the Orsay Museum and Notre Dame Cathedral are a 15-minute walk away. The Opéra Garnier is a 10-minute walk away from the Pont Neuf Metro Station.
