Location

The Alfred Sommier Hotel is located on rue de l'Arcade, a quiet street a stone's throw from the Madeleine. It is very easy to access, with five metro lines, ten bus lines, and two RER lines all within a 5-minute walk.

A bit of history

In 1860, Alfred Sommier's father acquired a large plot of land for development, near the Place de la Madeleine. He wished to settle his family in a private mansion befitting the prosperity of the family's sugar business.

At the time, the Madeleine district was bustling with Baron Haussmann's Parisian construction projects.

Joseph Lesoufaché, a renowned architect, designed two twin dressed stone buildings with a courtyard in the middle and a garden at the back. Many of the original interior decorative elements were preserved.

In 2018, one of the Sommier family's descendants, Richard de Warren, decided to transform it into a 5-star hotel. He opened a new chapter in the family's entrepreneurial spirit.
