Everything you Need to Know about the Paris Louis Vuitton Hotel Opening in 2026

You can now find one corner of Paris wrapped up like a huge Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. The silver-and-leather façade is not an art project but the disguise for what will become the maison’s first hotel, scheduled to welcome guests in 2026 at numbers 103-111 of Champs-Élysées avenue.

The monumental cover keeps renovation dust at bay, and it also doubles as marketing theatre, reminding passers-by that Louis Vuitton’s story began with luggage and that the next chapter will again revolve around travel.

A Building with Stories to Tell

Long before HSBC cubicles filled its rooms, the address was the opulent Elysée Palace Hotel, completed in 1896. Legend has it that Mata Hari was arrested here in 1917; the walls have seen spies, bankers and now fashion executives come and go. By reincarnating the site as a hotel, Louis Vuitton is, quite literally, returning the property to hospitality after a century-long detour. The building’s notable features are:

• Footprint: roughly 6,000 m², five times the size of the existing Louis Vuitton flagship next door.

• Sight-lines: upper-storey windows reportedly frame both the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower (CEO Pietro Beccari calls it “the most spectacular view in the world”).

For Irish travellers, the location could hardly be more convenient: Charles-de-Gaulle is a 90-minute hop from Dublin, and the RER B/Metro 9 link drops you two blocks from the future lobby. Expect plenty of Aer Lingus and Ryanair fare wars once opening dates firm up.

Booking Timeline & Rates

The brand has yet to release room counts, opening quarter or tariffs. Cheval Blanc debuted at €1,500+ per night; industry watchers forecast Vuitton to nudge that higher, especially for suites whose windows align with the Eiffel Tower sparkle-show.

Getting There from Ireland

Direct flights operate daily from Dublin to both CDG and Orly (average 2 hrs 05 mins). Hop on the RER B to Châtelet–Les Halles, switch to Metro 1 westbound and exit at George V. You’ll surface 120 metres from the hotel entrance. 

If your luggage is a bit too heavy, pre-book a fixed-fare taxi (€55 CDG) or, in full Vuitton style, an electric bateau along the Seine to Pont de l’Alma followed by a vintage Citroën DS transfer.
