Parisian heritage,

quietly reinterpreted.

Occupying a nineteenth-century townhouse in the 7th arrondissement, Maison No. 12 is a twelve-room hotel designed to feel like a private residence.

We preserved the building’s original mouldings, parquet, and fireplaces, layering them with a restrained palette of velvet, plaster, and aged brass.

The result is a hotel that feels personal and unhurried — a quiet counterpoint to the energy of the city outside.

Guest suites balance original mouldings with soft, contemporary furnishings.

A home

away from home.

Public spaces are arranged like the rooms of a private apartment, encouraging guests to linger, read, and gather.

Custom lighting, deep upholstery, and carefully sourced vintage pieces give each suite its own character within a cohesive whole.

Texture

over ornament.

Instead of decoration, we relied on rich textures and a soft tonal palette to create warmth, intimacy, and a sense of timeless comfort.

“Guests tell us it feels like staying with friends who happen to have impeccable taste. That was exactly the brief.”

— Claire Morel, Owner
