The 18th century building housing the Relais du Louvre has not always been a Hotel.
During the French Revolution, it was the head office of the Journal des Débats, the most widely circulated newspaper in 1812. Its publication was discontinued in 1944.
The ground floor was until 1850 home to the Café Momus frequented by Chateaubriand, Sainte-Beuve, Nadar, Gustave Courbet, Charles Baudelaire and others.
Although the Relais du Louvre is only 200 meters away from the Louvre, it is located in a quiet street with no facing buildings. The hotel’s 21 rooms therefore offer privacy and comfort with a location in the heart of historic comfort.
Sophie Aulnette and her team are at your service to help you and guide you before, during and after your stay. They will be pleased to answer all your inquiries, questions and requests as quickly as possible to make your stay at the Relais du Louvre a memory to savor.

Clever booking. What to know to book a room and pay less
Just a 10-minute walk from the Relais du Louvre, Les Artizans is one of the best restaurants on the street. We tested it for you.
