Maison Souquet
The next position on the list of the oldest hotels in Paris is Maison Souquet. It is a 5-star hotel on the outskirts of Montmartre, part of the Maisons Particulieres Collection (hotel company). It is located at 10, rue de Bruxelles in Paris. The hotel was designed in the style of Belle Époque Parisian brothels. Jacques Garcia, a French designer, adorned Maison Souquet.
Between 1871 and 1880, the building housed l'École Paulin, a girls' school. Mme Souquet built a discreet Maison close (brothel) in 1905, flawlessly imitating the Belle Époque period's Parisian customs and decor.
Maison Souquet has a total of 20 rooms, including six suites and two flats, all of which are individually decorated. Napoleon III, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Empire, and French 18th century styles are all reflected in the decorations. La Castiglione, La Paiva, Liane de Pougy, and La Belle Otero are just a few of the legendary courtesans whose rooms have been named after them. Different textiles, silk, and embroidery are used to decorate the apartments.
