Hôtel Potocki, Private mansion in 8th arrondissement of Paris, France

The Hôtel Potocki is a private mansion at 27 avenue de Friedland in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, built between 1878 and 1884 by architect Jules Reboul for the Polish count Mikołaj Szczęsny Potocki. Its light stone facade is symmetrical and classical, with paired columns and carved capitals flanking an arched doorway; above the arch an inscribed band reads "CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE et D'INDUSTRIE", and a pediment crowns the composition. Behind the bronze door by Christofle, a grand staircase leads up past six Flemish tapestries woven in Brussels around 1660.

The mansion was built in 1857 and came into the ownership of Count Gregory Potocki in 1867. Architect Jules Reboul carried out extensive renovations between 1879 and 1882 that shaped its current form.

The bronze entrance door was made by the Christofle silversmiths, and just behind it rises the grand staircase. Above the staircase hang six Flemish tapestries woven around 1660 in Brussels, telling the story of a 15th-century Sicilian lord. The Art Deco reception room by Jacques-Émile Ruhlmann was inaugurated in December 1927 in the presence of President Gaston Doumergue.

The building is available for events and offers multiple specialized spaces to choose from. Visitors should plan in advance since accessibility varies depending on the type of event and spaces being used.

The outbuildings at 16 rue Chateaubriand were demolished in 1925–1927 when architects Paul Viard and Marcel Dastugue converted the property for the Chamber of Commerce, adding two wings in the style of the main facade. The stables had held stalls for thirty-eight horses and the coach houses up to fifty vehicles.
