Hôtel de Coëtlogon, Private mansion in Place Vendôme, Paris, France
Hôtel de Coëtlogon is a private residence at Place Vendôme featuring classical French architecture with symmetrical stone facades at numbers 3 and 5. The building spans multiple levels with tall windows and demonstrates the skilled craftsmanship of its construction period.
Architect Jacques V Gabriel built this residence between 1719 and 1721 for financial official John Law, then René-Charles-Élisabeth de Coëtlogon acquired it afterward. The property takes its name from this family, who held ownership for an extended period.
The mansion reflects the tastes of French nobility for grand proportions and finely crafted stone work in this neighborhood. One can still see the classical refinement that set such residences apart from other Paris buildings.
The mansion is visible from the outside but not open to the public, as it remains a private residence. The best view of its facade can be seen from Place Vendôme itself or from the adjacent rue de Castiglione.
From 1840 to 1914, this building merged with the adjacent Hôtel d'Orsigny to operate as a luxury hotel called Hôtel Bristol, which attracted royal guests. After this period, it returned to its use as a private residence.
