History
The Grand Hotel Terminus opened on May 7, 1889, constructed to house the crowds of international tourists visiting Paris for the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, the event for which the Eiffel Tower was also built.[1][3] It was built by French architect Juste Lisch and originally designed to accommodate transatlantic travelers arriving from Normandy by train.[1] The hotel later became the Grand Hotel Terminus Saint-Lazare. In 1972, it was bought by Concorde Hotels and Resorts and renamed the Hotel Concorde Saint-Lazare Paris and then the Hotel Concorde Opéra Paris in 2009.[4]
The hotel was purchased by Hilton in 2013,[1] underwent a restoration costing over $50 million, and was reopened in 2015 as the Hilton Paris Opéra.[5][3]
Facilities
The hotel features 268 guest rooms and is considered significant for its Belle Époque style architecture, with high ceilings and ornate decor.[2][4][5] It was added to the Historic Hotels of America Historic Hotels Worldwide list in 2018, and in 2023 made the list of the top 25 Historic Hotels Worldwide Most Magnificent Ceilings and Domes.[6]
