InterContinental Paris Le Grand, Historical luxury hotel near Opera Garnier, Paris, France
The InterContinental Paris Le Grand is a luxury hotel with seven floors in the 9th arrondissement, distinguished by characteristic Haussmannian architecture with an ornate facade. The building features spacious public areas, including a winter garden with a glass dome and multiple elegant dining and conference spaces.
The building was constructed by order of Emperor Napoleon III and opened its doors in 1862, with the inauguration ceremony hosted by Empress Eugenie herself. It became one of the first modern luxury hotels built during Paris's transformation.
The hotel displays French design elements throughout its rooms, particularly in the winter garden beneath a glass dome and the ornately decorated ballroom. These spaces remain active venues for special events and receptions today.
The hotel sits near Place de l'Opera with convenient access to public transportation and wheelchair accessibility for guests with mobility needs. Its central location allows visitors to walk to many famous museums and cultural sites on foot.
The hotel houses a historic elevator that was among the first hydraulic lifts installed in Paris. Its American bar also traces its history back to the early 1900s.
