by Santorini Dave • Updated: November 20, 2018
Hotel Maison Souquet is located in the South Pigalle area of Paris’ 9th arrondissement.
A lux and edgy space in Paris’s most up-and-coming area, South Pigalle. Guests at Maison Souquet are treated to an intimate experience – granted a personal butler, lavish indiviualized room decor, and a private key for the gorgeous cobalt blue (and celestial ceilinged) swimming pool. Steps from the Moulin Rouge, this lavish brothel-turned-boutique-hotel’s 20 guest rooms are named after famous courtesans and each exudes a unique and decadent luxury replete with sumptuous details, such as peacock feather walls and headboards. In the hotel’s salons, a speakeasy-like hidden bar is lavishly decorated with velvet banquettes and a huge cast iron fireplace.
