The bar, located in the former smokehouse, opens onto the garden and terrace. Gien tableware is featured in the restaurant. Room service is available 24 hours a day. The cane medallion chairs and Alfred Sommier's monogram on the Gien tableware convey the feeling of attending a family dinner.

Location and Access

Hotel Alfred Sommier is located near la Madeleine, 0.3 km from Madeleine and 0.5 km from Auber. It is situated between the boutiques on rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré and the Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores. Landmarks nearby include Place de la Concorde (1 km), Basilique du Sacre-Coeur de Montmartre (2 km), Louvre Museum (2 km) and the Eiffel Tower (3 km).

Services & Features

The hotel offers 5 meeting rooms with natural daylight. A fitness room is available. High-speed internet (100MB) is accessible in each reception room with secure access. The hotel provides services such as concierge assistance, parking and valet service upon request and accepts small animals. Casual touches such as the pot of cane-handled umbrellas by the front door, newspapers on the coffee table in front of the fire and polished piano add a homely touch.

“Hotel Alfred Sommier strikes me as a distinctive Parisian experience, a 19th-century 'hôtel particulier' transformed with a deft touch of contemporary design. The location, near la Madeleine, places guests within easy reach of the city's attractions, yet the private garden promises a serene escape; from what I've gathered, the owner's personal touch elevates the stay beyond the typical luxury hotel.”

Wonderful Stay in an Elegant Setting

attentive staffspacious roommodern bathroomefficient luggage
The staff was very attentive and helpful throughout my visit. My room was quite spacious and traditionally decorated, it had a modern bathroom with updated lighting. The breakfast was solid (I especially enjoyed the eggs!) and the arrival of orders was very prompt. I found the welcome during check-in very good and my luggage was handled efficiently.
I noticed a slight delay in email responses from the concierge at times.

the dining room seemed overcrowded. the room's narrowness put all guests on top of one another. this created a less than ideal atmosphere, though the choice of food was adequate.
