Maison Souquet, Hotel & Spa

“Only 18 rooms, Second Empire red-and-gold décor signed by Jacques Garcia, vaulted underground pool.”

**Maison Souquet** occupies a 1900 townhouse on rue de Bruxelles, a stone’s throw from Pigalle. Jacques Garcia has signed the décor: crimson velvet, lacquered panelling, gilded mirrors, subdued lighting that recalls the brothel era without slipping into kitsch. We tested a Deluxe room, four-poster bed, black marble in the bathroom, absolute silence despite the nearby boulevard. The basement spa houses a vaulted mosaic pool, hammam, treatment cabins. From **989 €** a night, rate justified by the intimacy (18 rooms) and discreet service. Cocktail bar open to residents, hushed ambience until midnight. An address for those seeking secret Paris, not the classic palace ✨
