Saint Lazare hotel Paris

The Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare...from the XIXth to the XXIst century: It was the end of the XIXth century. Paris, the city of invention, travel and luxury was celebrating the Great Exhibitions and was entering the new century proud of its new constructions: the Grand Boulevards of Baron Haussmann, the Opéra Garnier, the Petit and Grand Palais, the Orsay and Saint-Lazare districts...In 1889, to accommodate the rich visitors flocking into Paris for the Great Exhibition, the Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare, known then as the Grand Hotel Terminus, first saw the light of day.

The Loby: The new furniture in the foyer is the work of the famous designer HIERRO. It successfully combines the « eiffelien » style of the foyer with the robustly contemporary spirit of the designer. Taking his inspiration from different elements which adorn the foyer, HIERRO was able to create an atmosphere of quiet peace and a style of exceptional elegance. The curved lines of the armchairs and sofas and the green and plum tones are a perfect foil to the glass tables and the polished lamps, gilded with gold. Rivets, so typical of the Eiffel Tower, can be found in the feet of the armchairs. The coloured studs outlined in gold which are a feature of the furniture, echo those which decorate the pillars in the foyer. Finally, paintings which draw their inspiration from the crest of the old Hotel Terminus now adorn the walls of the reception area, adding a finishing touch to the new decorations.

DATE OF CONSTRUCTION: The Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare, known at the time as « Grand Hôtel Terminus », was built in 1889 by the Compagnie des Chemins de fer de l’Ouest to accommodate visitors to the Great Exhibition. DECOR: Behind the rather sober facade we find a decor of pink marble, paintings, and Lameire sculptures. SITUATION: The hotel is situated opposite the Gare Saint-Lazare, a few minutes’ walk from the large stores on the Boulevard Haussmann, from the Madeleine and the Opéra, and 7 minutes from “La Défense” by train. MEMBERSHIP OF THE CONCORDE HOTELS GROUP, The Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare is a member of the Concorde Hotels Group.
