Hilton Paris Opera will reopen in January 2015 after an extensive $50 million restoration and enhancement. Formerly known as the Concorde Paris Opera, the hotel sits in the heart of Paris’s Right Bank, within easy reach of the Champs-Élysées, Place de l’Opéra and Rue de la Paix. The renovation preserves the building’s historic charm while introducing contemporary comforts and technology expected by today’s travelers.
The hotel features 268 guestrooms, including 29 suites designed for families and longer stays. Each suite includes a generous living room with high ceilings, a master bedroom with a king-size bed, a second bedroom with twin beds, and two bathrooms that showcase large polished stone vanities and roomy walk-in showers. Guestrooms combine classic Parisian details with updated fixtures, comfortable furnishings and modern connectivity.
For meetings and events, Hilton Paris Opera offers a variety of spaces to suit business and social functions. A large function room is highlighted by vintage Baccarat crystal chandeliers, providing an elegant setting for receptions and special occasions. In addition, six newly refurbished meeting rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual technology and flexible layouts to accommodate conferences, presentations and smaller gatherings.
Under the leadership of general manager Sofia Vandaele, the property’s transformation focused on balancing preservation and modernization. The restoration team respected the hotel’s historic features while introducing contemporary design elements, upgraded systems and enhanced guest services. The result is a refined hotel that retains its Parisian character while meeting the expectations of international visitors.
Located in a prime central neighborhood, Hilton Paris Opera is well positioned for guests who want to explore Paris’s key attractions, shopping districts and cultural landmarks. The combination of an iconic location, thoughtfully restored interiors and Hilton’s signature service aims to deliver a stylish and comfortable base for both leisure and business travelers.
