Why you should experience Maison Delano Paris in Paris, France.
Maison Delano Paris is a discreet luxury hotel where Madeleine's cultivated character, Faubourg Saint-Honoré fashion heritage, eighteenth-century architectural refinement and contemporary hospitality culture converge inside a 1734 private mansion reinterpreted for the Delano brand.
Set along Rue d'Anjou near Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and just steps from Place de la Madeleine, the hotel opened in 2023 with 56 rooms and suites arranged around a secluded historic courtyard, introducing Delano's first Maison concept within one of Paris's most concentrated luxury districts. Lázaro Rosa-Violán approached the interiors through pale tonalities, herringbone parquet, preserved mouldings, marble fireplaces and contemporary furniture, allowing surviving eighteenth-century fabric to remain legible throughout the property. Nineteen suites expand that residential character considerably, culminating in rooms with restored painted ceilings and the 190-square-meter Maison Delano Presidential Suite, while the courtyard forms the social heart of the building around the restaurant and adjoining Delano Bar. The result is a hotel where an eighteenth-century Parisian residence, Mediterranean hospitality and Delano's international design history meet with unusual architectural restraint.
What you should know about Maison Delano Paris.
Maison Delano Paris is best known for opening in 2023 as the first Maison Delano, relaunching an international hospitality name whose modern history began when Delano Miami opened in 1995 inside Robert Swartburg's 1947 Art Deco building and became closely associated with Philippe Starck's influential South Beach interiors. The Paris project followed Katara Hospitality's 2021 decision to rebrand the former Buddha-Bar Hotel at 4 Rue d'Anjou, placing the revived Delano character inside a private mansion dating to 1734 and appointing Barcelona-based designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán to reinterpret the property for an urban setting. The completed five-star hotel contains 56 rooms including 19 suites, with current accommodation progressing from 30-square-meter Deluxe Rooms and 35-square-meter Prestige Rooms through 43-square-meter Junior Suites, 65-square-meter Deluxe Suites, a 70-square-meter Grand Prestige Suite and a 120-square-meter Grand Historic Suite. Surviving eighteenth-century fabric becomes particularly substantial in the Grand Prestige and Grand Historic suites, where restored painted ceilings, original mouldings, herringbone parquet, high ceilings and marble fireplaces remain integrated into Rosa-Violán's contemporary composition. Combining those two accommodations creates the 190-square-meter, two-bedroom Maison Delano Presidential Suite for as many as six occupants, preserving the scale and enfilade arrangement of the mansion's grand rooms within the hotel's largest residential space.
Dani García established the original culinary character of Maison Delano Paris through La Chambre Bleue, his first restaurant in France, bringing the Spanish chef's international career and former three-MICHELIN-Star restaurant in Marbella into a 170-seat concept centered on Mediterranean seafood, Andalusian cooking and the mansion's enclosed courtyard. Pablo Picasso supplied the cultural premise behind the restaurant's name, with La Chambre Bleue referencing the painter's Blue Period following his arrival in Paris in 1900 and translating that association through ceramics, blue-and-white tableware and Spanish culinary references. Katara Hospitality provides the institutional continuity behind the property, having identified the Buddha-Bar conversion in its 2021 corporate chronology before reopening Maison Delano in 2023 as part of a portfolio that also includes The Peninsula Paris, Le Royal Monceau - Raffles Paris and major hospitality properties across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the United States. Together, Dani García, Pablo Picasso, Katara Hospitality and Lázaro Rosa-Violán reveal how Maison Delano Paris was constructed as a genuine reinvention of the Delano idea, connecting Miami-born hospitality culture with Spanish gastronomy and surviving eighteenth-century Parisian architecture.
How to fold Maison Delano Paris into your trip.
Maison Delano Paris works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing the decorative arts, private collecting and architectural grandeur that define the western Right Bank.
Begin at Musée Jacquemart-André, where banker Édouard André and painter Nélie Jacquemart assembled paintings, sculpture, furniture and decorative arts inside the residence Henri Parent designed for André during the 1860s, creating one of Paris's most complete surviving expressions of private nineteenth-century collecting. Continue to Chapelle Expiatoire, commissioned by Louis XVIII and designed by Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine and Louis-Hippolyte Lebas on the former Madeleine Cemetery, where Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette had initially been buried following their executions before their remains were transferred to the Basilica of Saint-Denis in 1815. Conclude at Musée de l'Orangerie, where Claude Monet's eight vast Water Lilies compositions occupy the oval rooms he helped conceive for the series donated to the French state after the First World War, accompanied elsewhere by the Jean Walter and Paul Guillaume collection. The progression moves from the private collecting culture of the nineteenth century through Bourbon memory into Monet's immersive painting cycle, creating an arc of patronage, architecture and connoisseurship closely aligned with Maison Delano Paris's own discussion between a historic residence and contemporary luxury.
