Hotel Alfred Sommier
Described as the “hidden gem in Paris’ 8th arrondissement” by Vogue, this resplendent 19th-century hotel particulier is your ideal base from which to experience the City of Love.
Hotel Alfred Sommier, the ancestral estate of a French sugar baron, has beautifully preserved original features that offer a romantic nod to its aristocratic past. Enjoy a meal in the grand drawing room, a parquet-floored salon adorned with Louis XV decor, or sip a tipple in The Bar, formerly the mansion’s fumoir (smoking room). The menu at Restaurant Les Caryatides transports guests back in time with French dishes reminiscent of those once served to the Sommier family.
Hotel Alfred Sommier is superbly situated in the heart of Paris, a stone’s throw from the renowned Louvre Museum and the opulent Palais Garnier. The Napolean-era Church of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is mere steps away, while the luxury stores of the Champs-Elysees, the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral are all within a 15-minute drive. The hotel is approximately a 45-minute drive from Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) or from Paris-Orly Airport (ORY). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.

The Hotel – 19th-century ancestral mansion in Paris’ glamorous 8th arrondissement
Formerly the stately residence of the Sommier family, Hotel Alfred Sommier’s cream-stone courtyard, parquet floors, and gilded frescoes whisper of a decadent past, now exquisitely preserved for the fortunate few who stay here.
The hotel, still owned by a descendant of the Sommiers, is steeped in history, with reminders of their life woven throughout the property. Chef Franco Miotto’s menu is a tribute to the family’s cherished traditions, featuring dishes inspired by their favourite meals – such as gourmet pork pies they savoured after countryside hunts, wine from their home in Burgundy, and nostalgic desserts from Alfred Sommier’s childhood. Select rooms boast original marble fireplaces, the mansion’s architectural plans are elegantly displayed in gilded frames, and prints of the family’s grand chateaus grace the walls of the guestrooms.
Guests are encouraged to spend leisurely days sitting in the gardens, staying snug in the wood-panelled bar or enjoying a refreshing cucumber water by the 1916 Pleyel piano. The hotel also provides spa services in dedicated treatment rooms, using lavish products from KOS PARIS.
