The Hôtels Littéraires in Paris offer a unique experience. Here, time travel is combined with a passion for books. And these unique establishments embody a growing trend!

But what is a Hôtel Littéraire? It’s as if each room were a page in a book. With its own unique history and ambience. In these hotels, writers become undisputed stars. Every detail is designed to immerse visitors in the world of the chosen author.

Immerse yourself in a world where every corner of the room is an ode to literature. Where libraries overflow with linguistic treasures and first editions sit proudly in shop windows. Le Swann in the 8th arrondissement, Marcel Aymé in the 18th or Arthur Rimbaud in the 10th arrondissement… Each stay is a literary adventure in itself, where comfort blends harmoniously with culture, making this a true haven for lovers of letters and stories.

The editor’s favorite literary hotel: Le Swann, for Proust enthusiasts

Here’s a hotel entirely dedicated to the writer Marcel Proust. Nestled in the heart of the historically Proustian neighborhood of Plaine Monceau and Saint-Augustin, Le Swann presents visitors with a collection of original works by Marcel Proust.

In addition, this 4-star hotel offers guests immersion in one of the most prestigious worlds of French literature. The design is by Aude Bruguière. An architect who has given this Proustian universe a contemporary edge.

The 80 rooms in this majestic hotel are named after characters from ” À la recherche du temps perdu ” or one of Marcel Proust’s favorite painters. A framed text introduces the character with a chosen quote, making the room even more unique. During your stay, Le Swann reveals its seductive Belle Époque-inspired decor. These rooms are perfect for relaxing after a Parisian escapade.

Last but not least, Le Swann offers a quiet place to work or relax under its luminous Art-deco glass roof. A peaceful atmosphere and a moment out of time await you in the Salle Jacques Guérin. Finally, the bar, with its Belle Époque decor, is ideal for a relaxing break. In a friendly, gourmet atmosphere, enjoy a cup of tea anda delicious madeleine. Then let yourself be guided by the inspiration of the day.
