About

Nestled at the end of a small paved and wooded path, upstream of one of the famous Montmartre stairs, the Caulaincourt is in the immediate vicinity of the monuments, places and shops emblematic of the Butte, but away from the circuits taken by tourists , which preserves the tranquility of its guests.

The hotel reveals, behind its typical Parisian facade, a bright and welcoming setting that immediately makes you want to settle down. It has 50 rooms for one, two, three or four people, offers a breakfast service, and offers its guests comfortable and friendly spaces, -lobby, dining room and kitchen-, thought and arranged for share, meet, discuss, work, eat and relax.
The decor, designed by Marion Saxod of the Reliefs Architecture Agency, places the hotel under the sign of nature and design. The Caulaincourt is illustrated by its original and dreamlike wallpapers, its graphic tiles, and its color palette both fresh and joyful. Amazing stabilized vegetal compositions, created by the creator Bérangère Haëgy (Adventive), underline the architecture and animate the space in a poetic setting, like suspended kokedama that seem to float. The furniture, simple and eclectic, favors warm materials, wood, velvet, rattan and brass keys. It comes from small publishing houses, French designers and more established brands, except in hotel rooms, where Marion Saxod draws her own soft and rounded furniture.

Inhabited by the bohemian spirit of the Butte, the Caulaincourt is for travelers, looking for a flexible but neat, casual and welcoming accommodation in a lively neighborhood. Staying here means experiencing a new type of hotel in a unique location in Paris.
