Located at 6 Rue de Saintonge, this mysterious building once housed an enigmatic theater until 1807, which was closed by order of Napoleon as \u201cthe ladies performing there were of too lax morals\u201d, then became the Convent of the Filles du Calvaire, before being shuttered for over a century and finally transformed into a hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managed by ELEGANCIA, a group bringing together independent boutique hotels with singular concepts, Le Boudoir des Muses<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is a new establishment with unique heritage architecture, offering 28 rooms, including 4 suites, a cocktail bar, and private bathing lounges. Paying homage to the site\u2019s rich and layered history, the Boudoir des Muses stands out with its bold, nonconformist artistic direction and delightfully transgressive character. Its religious and scandalous heritage transports guests into a world apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the very entrance, the building\u2019s historical references are laid bare: the tension between the sacred and the forbidden. Bathed in soft, muted light, the lobby serves as a transition from the outside world into the hotel, a threshold that transports guests into another world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the floor, a carpet patterned with serpents guides the guest deeper into the Boudoir des Muses. Symbolizing the Garden of Eden, it leads the way to the reception desk, crafted in marble and topped with a confessional grille. In front, a sofa with rounded, sensual forms welcomes visitors into a space that symbolically represents a purgatory, before finally stepping into the Boudoir des Muses proper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
