Why you should experience Hotel Val Girard in Paris, France.
Hotel Val Girard is the former character of a compact Left Bank hotel whose Saint-Lambert setting, six-story Haussmannian architecture and later reinvention by Groupe Touriste connect two distinct eras of Paris hospitality at the same Rue Pétel address.
Set along Rue Pétel near Rue de Vaugirard and just steps from Square Adolphe-Chérioux, the property operated as the 38-room Hotel Val Girard before Groupe Touriste acquired the business with investment partner 123 Investment Managers in December 2021 and began repositioning it from three to four stars. The transformation ultimately produced Hôtel Beauregard, which opened in March 2023 as Groupe Touriste's first Left Bank property and retained the same 14 Rue Pétel address and 38-room scale. Interior architect Chloé Nègre completely reconceived the six floors around the fantasy of a bourgeois Parisian residence, combining stainless steel, saturated color, vintage furniture, custom pieces and references to twentieth-century French art and design. Street-facing rooms preserve one of the building's defining geographical characteristics through direct perspectives toward the Eiffel Tower, while the renamed property embeds the former Val Girard within a substantially more authored chapter of Parisian hotel design.
What you should know about Hotel Val Girard.
Hotel Val Girard is best known for becoming Hôtel Beauregard after Groupe Touriste, led by founder Adrien Gloaguen, acquired the 38-room three-star property alongside 123 Investment Managers following an investment dated December 9, 2021, undertaking a complete renovation that repositioned the Rue Pétel hotel at four-star level before its March 2023 reopening. Chloé Nègre directed the redesign across all six floors as her second collaboration with Groupe Touriste after Hôtel Bienvenue, developing a contemporary interpretation of a bourgeois Parisian residence through retro references, stainless-steel furniture, vintage pieces, custom headboards and a separate color character for each floor. Pinton collaborated on the decorative program through Verdures jacquard tapestries produced by Tissage des Flandres and the Primavera rug designed by Nègre, while artist Pauline Leyravaud painted the lobby's trompe-l'oeil sky fresco and the interiors incorporated a rare Quinta chair by Swiss architect Mario Botta. The guestrooms extend those references through grid-pattern carpets derived from French garden trellises, floral wall lamps, embroidered “I Love Paris” crests, heart-shaped chairs and bathrooms whose stripes reference Daniel Buren, establishing an unusually dense visual program within only 38 accommodations. The 2021 acquisition, Nègre's complete reconstruction, Pinton's textile work and Leyravaud's site-specific painting collectively turned the former Hotel Val Girard into one of Groupe Touriste's most comprehensively authored conversions of an existing Paris hotel.
Adrien Gloaguen positioned the former Hotel Val Girard within Groupe Touriste's broader designer-led portfolio, making the renamed Hôtel Beauregard the company's first address on the Left Bank after projects including Hôtel Panache, Hôtel Bienvenue and Hôtel Les Deux Gares. Studio Chloé Nègre deepened that design strategy through references to Pierre Paulin and Daniel Buren, pairing an undulating Paulin-inspired breakfast-room bench with striped bathrooms derived from Buren's visual style and vintage furnishings sourced across France. Shirley Doukhan directed creative production for the Pinton collaboration, where Nègre's Primavera rug joined Verdures jacquard wall hangings from Tissage des Flandres as bespoke textile components of the reworked Rue Pétel interiors. Together, Adrien Gloaguen, Chloé Nègre, Shirley Doukhan, Pinton and Pauline Leyravaud transformed Val Girard's original 38-room structure into a coordinated program of interior architecture, textile production, collectible furniture and commissioned art that continues under the Hôtel Beauregard name.
How to fold Hotel Val Girard into your trip.
Hotel Val Girard works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing sculpture, scientific history and modern public landscape through the 15th Arrondissement.
Begin at Musée Bourdelle, where Antoine Bourdelle worked for decades in studios on Impasse du Maine, developing the sculpture, drawings and grand plaster models that ultimately became the foundation of the museum devoted to his career. Continue to Institut Pasteur, created following the success of Louis Pasteur's rabies vaccine and officially inaugurated by President Sadi Carnot on November 14, 1888; the original complex combined Pasteur's apartment with laboratories, classrooms and rabies-treatment facilities, while the scientist lived there until his death in 1895. Conclude at Parc André Citroën, where the former automobile-manufacturing territory beside the Seine became a major contemporary landscape organized around lawns, gardens, water and greenhouse architecture. The progression moves from Bourdelle's working world through Pasteur's nineteenth-century scientific institution into a landscape shaped by the 15th Arrondissement's later reinvention, creating a compact cultural sequence around the former Hotel Val Girard.
