Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile, Luxury hotel and skyscraper in 17th arrondissement of Paris, France
The Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile is a hotel and skyscraper with 34 stories of concrete structure near the Porte Maillot transportation hub. It reaches 190 meters high and offers direct connections to the adjacent convention center.
The site was a summer amusement-park ground, then held temporary ministry buildings after World War II. In 1960 the Chamber of Commerce and the tourism committee chose it for a convention centre, with architects Henri Guibout, Serge Maloletenkov and Yves Betin. The hotel, designed by Guillaume Gillet, opened in April 1974 as the Hôtel Concorde La Fayette, named after General La Fayette. Sold in 2013 to Constellation Hotels Holdings, it became the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile on 23 April 2013.
The hotel's name honours the Marquis de Lafayette, a nod to Franco-American friendship; its original 1974 name, Hôtel Concorde La Fayette, carried the same reference. The building forms part of the Centre international de Paris with the adjoining Palais des Congrès, and its 34th-floor Windo Skybar lets guests look out over the city while the convention halls host events below.
The hotel is served by Porte Maillot station on metro line 1, RER C, RER E and tram T3bis. Its 995 rooms and suites occupy 34 floors, and 35 reception rooms provide 2,800 square metres of meeting space linked to the Palais des Congrès next door.
Rooms on the upper floors offer views stretching across much of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower and Montmartre. This panorama extends over several kilometers and provides an extraordinary perspective of the city.
