Once a Belle Époque pleasure house, now a jaw-dropping boutique hotel near Montmartre, Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa is well-versed in the art of seduction. Its brocade-adorned bedrooms are inspired by 19th-century Parisian courtesans, with old-world portraitures and opulent fabrics. Jacques Garcia’s glittering décor continues across a host of intimate salons, primed for dinnertime courting and cocktail-fuelled flirting. Orange blossom and almond fragrance its stellar (in both senses) spa, where private use of its pool and hammam bring a sybarite’s touch to soothing.

Our favourite rooms

Each more-is-more boudoir at Maison Souquet tells a story, inspired by the Belle Époque’s fascination for different cultures and styles. The Junior Suites are generous in every sense: you’ll get ample space; constant design details to feast on — gilded cornicing, brocade wallpaper, antique artwork — and the tea on French, feminine legends, such as La Belle Otero or La Castiglione.

Spa

Less a spa and more a cosmic cocoon, the Salon d’Eau glitters like a starry night sky. The petite, heated pool is set against cobalt and midnight blue hues, and a gold, celestial ceiling mural crowns the water like a constellation. The hammam shimmers with almost-iridescent indigo tiles, and you'll get an hour in the spa all to you yourself included with your stay. For a higher state of soothing, you can also book a signature massage, facial or body scrub.

Packing tips

A maximalist streak.

Also

If the decadence of Parisian dining proves a bit too much, the hotel has partnered with round-the-corner fitness club 21 Blanche, which is kitted out with pretty workout spaces, a pool and spa to remedy any overindulgence.

Children

Welcome, but this dripping-in-gold stay is better suited to romantic, grown-up rendezvous. The two-bedroom suites sleep four, baby cots are free, and babysitting is available with advance notice for €100 an hour.

Sustainability efforts

It may be rather stylish, but Maison Souquet has substance, too: water- and energy-saving devices and policies are engaged throughout the hotel; and glass and organic alternatives are used instead of plastic. French suppliers with a focus on seasonal produced are favoured, plus small-batch preparation and plant-based offerings ensure that the restaurant operates as consciously as possible.

Food and Drink

Top Table

In the Winter Garden looking out at the greenery, or settle into a monarch-worthy armchair in the Salon of a Thousand and One Nights.

Dress Code

Blending in here means the bolder, the better: you’ll want to don your Tom Ford velvet slippers, silk dresses and plenty of gold jewellery.

Hotel restaurant

Instead of a formal restaurant, you can take your pick of a few communal spaces to dine in. You might take your breakfast in the Winter Garden, say, which is plush with magenta and bottle-green velvet, and opens out into a small jardin. An all-day menu of ‘light delicacies’ — such as caviar with blinis, Galician sardines or a cheese board — can be nibbled in the glittering Salon of a Thousand and One Nights or seductive Salon des Petits Bonheurs.

Hotel bar

Like Goldilocks, you might like to try a cocktail in each salon to determine which one is just right for you. Its tipple menu is the same throughout, but a Leila (fresh raspberry-infused vodka with St-Germain liqueur and orange) matches the red-velvet-clad Salon des Petits Bonheurs. And the ingredients in a champagne-based Dita, which is laced with hibiscus and Chartreuse, share a similar colour palette to the Winter Garden room. 

Last orders

Breakfast is 7am to 11.30am; the all-day menu is served between 11.30am and 1am. The bar pours from 5pm until midnight.

Room service

You can dine in your room at any hour.

Address
Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa
10 Rue de Bruxelles
Paris
75009
France

A stone’s throw from Moulin Rouge, Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa sits on the border between Pigalle and Montmartre in Paris’ 9th arrondissement.

Planes

Paris’ two international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, are each an hour’s drive from the hotel; staff can arrange one-way transfers from €200.

Trains

Gare du Nord is a 15-minute drive and hotel transfers can be organised for €150 each way. Gare de L’Est and Saint-Lazare are equally close, whereas Gare Montparnasse and de Lyon are each 40 minutes away by car. Plenty of Métro stations are nearby — walk a few minutes to Place de Clichy for lines two and 13.

Automobiles

Leave driving to the locals and opt for taxis, public transport or hand-in-hand strolls. Should you choose to drive, there’s charged parking near the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

If Maison Souquet’s courtesan-inspired suites have piqued your curiosity for Paris’ saucier streak, you’re on the right side of town for some late-night revelry: cabaret legend Moulin Rouge is at the end of the street for dinner with a side of dancing. For less raunch and more romance, while away an afternoon wandering Montmartre’s art-adorned streets, concluding with a city-surveying sunset at the Sacré-Coeur Basilica. A stroll along the Seine or around one of the city’s manicured jardins inspires similar affection, as do visits to Monet’s Water Lilies murals at Musée de l’Orangerie and designer shopping at Galeries Lafayette or in the Marais’ boutiques.

Local restaurants

At fan favourite Pink Mamma, kitsch Italian interiors are the backdrop to traditional ceramic plates of Napolitan pizza, truffle pasta and decadent dolci. Meha is a modern take on a cosy bistro, and its scaled-down menu puts a global spin on Gallic cooking. Datil looks to the French tradition of fine dining, but forges its own culinary path with plant-based tasting menus, seasonal produce and a largely female team. 

Local cafés

Kozy takes brunch seriously, with its all-day menu of eggs Benedict, savoury waffles and French brioche, plus speciality coffees and tempting bakes. If you’re not looking to linger, pop into Coeur Coffee Roasters instead for brews and banana bread to go.

Local bars

Contempoary wine bar Trouble is anything but: its Italian-nodding sharing plates are just the pairing for its natural wines, which can be sipped streetside or at the bar, where you might get chatting to owner-chef Stefano. Thin-glass coupés of wine-based cocktails, vintage tiled floors and icy platters of oysters are what earns Classique its name.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this seductive hotel in the 9th arrondissement and unpacked their hand fans from Moulin Rouge and date-night outfits, a full account of their romantic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa in Paris… 

You’ll find more red lights opposite Moulin Rouge, where two scarlet lanterns mark the otherwise discreet entrance to Maison Souquet Hotel & Spa — which, indoors, is anything but. Its lamps and name nod to a salacious past life as Madame Souquet’s maison close, which she ran at the turn of the century. 

But now, indulgence takes on new guises, with architect Jacques Garcia’s flamboyant design mimicking that of his previous project, Smith-approved La Mamounia. You'll find further pleasure at the small-but-otherworldly spa, where a celestial theme envelops a pool and hammam. 

A sense of privacy prevails in the velvet-swathed salons, too, where you’re welcome to dine or drink until the early hours. And though Paris’ finer pleasures are within easy reach of this boutique base, we imagine you’ll be drawn back to its crimson-hued entrance like a moth to a flame.
