Banke Hôtel 5* Paris

General hotel information

Hotel Banke is an elegant 5-star hotel located in the Opera district, one of the most luxurious shopping areas of Paris, just a few steps from Place Vendôme and around twenty minutes from the Louvre. A historic place where, in the 18th and 19th centuries, the gardens of Queen Hortense, the wife of Louis Bonaparte, stood. And it was in this city palace that Napoleon III was born. The palace was demolished in 1899 to create Rue Pillet-Will. The bank is in a designed by the architect Paul Friesé and Cassien Bernard, former bank building from the early 20th century, which was converted in 2009 into a hotel. Its majestic façade rises above the crossroads of La Fayette Boulevard and Rue Pillet-Will, conjuring up the magic of Parisian Belle Époque. The hotel is distinguished by its spectacular lobby under a glass dome and the refined design. The interior features walls in creamy and chocolate tones, purple curtains, plaited leather rugs, damask leather headboards, marble bathrooms and a selection of designer furniture. The decoration combines elements of the original architecture with a contemporary design and revives the Haussmann style. The hotel also has an extensive art collection and historically valuable jewelery of various cultures from around the world, including pieces of Egyptian, pre-Columbian, Roman and Buddhist origin.
