La Trémoille has been a fixture on the Paris luxury hotel scene since 1883. In 2002 it was re-opened following a complete renovation by Richard Martinet. The restored Haussmannian facade, a historical monument in its own right, is as authentic as ever, while the interior has been updated in an understated yet decidedly contemporary style.
Modern furnishings contrast with period architectural flourishes – the translucent glass reception desk sits beside the wrought iron balustrades of the lobby’s grand staircase. The contrast continues upstairs in the guest rooms — thirty-one different decorating schemes set designer light fixtures and contemporary furniture against lush period fabrics.
None of the 93 rooms and suites lack for technological amenities – DVD players, 16/9 cinema displays, free high-speed internet, even wireless keyboards connected to internet TV. The most impressive piece of gadgetry, though, is a decidedly low-tech feature with an ominous name: The Hatch.
The Hatch is not a trapdoor for ejecting unruly guests, or a secret escape route, but an “individual silent butler closet,” a private compartment in each room accessible from within by the guest and from the corridor by key-carrying hotel staff. The Hatch enables guests to receive room service without opening the door, or the hotel staff to deliver laundry to guests while they sleep undisturbed.
It would be tempting to take full advantage of the Hatch, and the luxurious house arrest it provides, but to do so would be to miss out on a wonderful restaurant, Le Louis², which despite its name’s historical resonances serves an inventive contemporary French cuisine in a stylish dining room and a cozy attached lounge.
Overall the experience is a discreet one — from the small, unassuming lobby to the cozy, intimate restaurant and bar, and even upstairs, where the Hatch provides guests with the ultimate in privacy. It’s easy to imagine, then, why such public figures from Orson Welles and Louis Armstrong to the honorary Frenchman Johnny Depp chose La Tremoille as their haunt of choice in Paris.

What I liked:
The location in the 8th is generally good, though the street the hotel is on isn't particularly charming.
The manager was understanding when we told her about the disappointing quality of our room, and said we wanted to check out early.
What the hotel could do better:
Our room was in very poor condition; not up to the standard you would expect for this location and price point. The couch was old and dirty, glass rings on all the surfaces, dust in the corners, smudges on the walls, an enormous pink stain on the carpet. We arrived late in the evening after having dinner and would have asked to be moved, but reception had already gone home.
I imagine this was a pleasant hotel at one point, but it hasn't been kept up. The hallways and public spaces are scruffy around the edges as well.
We checked in at Le Meurice instead, and had a great experience.
