Where is Hôtel Le A located in Paris?

Hôtel Le A is located at 4 rue d'Artois, on a quiet street in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, in the heart of the Champs-Élysées district and the Golden Triangle, a few minutes' walk from avenue Montaigne and rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Which metro stations serve Hôtel Le A?

Hôtel Le A is served by Saint-Philippe du Roule (line 9), a 2-minute walk away, and by Franklin D. Roosevelt (line 1), about twelve minutes on foot. Charles de Gaulle – Étoile (RER A) is also within walking distance.

Why is the hotel called Le A?

The A stands for rue d'Artois, for alphabet, since the hotel has 26 rooms conceived as an alphabet, and for art: every room is home to an original work by Fabrice Hyber, in a setting designed by Frédéric Mechiche.

What services does Hôtel Le A offer?

Hôtel Le A offers a 24-hour concierge service, room service, breakfast served under the glass roof, complimentary daily tea-time, a lounge bar beneath a 19th-century glass roof, a 300-volume library, dry cleaning, luggage storage and daytime office rooms.

How many rooms does Hôtel Le A have?

Hôtel Le A has 26 rooms and suites in seven categories, from the Superior room to the top-floor Suite with its rooftop view, including rooms with a Haussmann balcony and connecting family rooms.

Can you attend a runway show without an invitation?

No. Official runway shows are by invitation or press accreditation only; tickets are not available to the general public. The SPHERE showroom, at the Palais de Tokyo from September 30 to October 6, 2026, is intended for buyers and the media. Live broadcasts remain the best way to experience the shows.

When should you book your hotel for Paris Fashion Week 2026?

As early as possible. This week is one of the busiest times of the year for Parisian hotels, and availability fills up quickly as the dates approach. Booking directly on the hotel’s official website guarantees the best rate.

Is the Hôtel Le Marianne conveniently located for getting to the fashion shows?

Yes. The Saint-Philippe du Roule station on Line 9 is about 200 meters away and provides direct service to Iéna, the station near the Palais de Tokyo. Line 1 and buses 52, 83, and 93 provide additional service, and the Champs-Élysées is a ten-minute walk away.

What services are available late at night?

The front desk and concierge service are open 24 hours a day. The self-service Honesty Bar remains open until 2:00 a.m., and room service is available until 11:30 p.m. Reservations for the private hammam and the gym can be made at the front desk.

When is the next fashion week after October 2026?

The Federation’s calendar continues in January 2027 with Paris Fashion Week Men’s Fall/Winter 2027–2028, followed by Haute Couture Week. The next women’s edition, dedicated to Fall/Winter, will then take place in the spring of 2027.

Paris Fashion Week 2026: dates, shows and where to stay in the 8th

Paris Fashion Week 2026 for womenswear runs from Monday 28 September to Tuesday 6 October 2026, presenting the spring-summer 2027 collections. Nine days, 101 houses on the provisional calendar published by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, 68 shows and 33 presentations spread across the city. The official shows remain invitation-only, and venues are usually confirmed just days before the event.

In a week this dense, where you stay matters as much as the programme: short journeys, quiet nights, a real chance to recover in the evening. Hôtel Le Marianne, at 11 rue Paul Baudry in the 8th arrondissement, covers all three, a ten-minute walk from the Champs-Élysées. Here is the practical information, dates included, to organise your week.

When is Paris Fashion Week 2026?

The womenswear session fills nine full days, from Monday 28 September to Tuesday 6 October 2026. The provisional calendar released in late July brings together 101 member and guest houses, of which 68 stage runway shows and 33 present their collections in showrooms. Sunday is no exception: the pace never lets up. According to the programme, designer Julie Kegels opens the week and Louis Vuitton closes it on Tuesday 6 October.

One detail often surprises newcomers: the collections shown in late September 2026 are the spring-summer 2027 ones. The fashion industry always works six months to a year ahead, the time it takes for orders placed by international buyers to reach the shops. Paris also closes the cycle opened by New York, London and Milan, which makes it the most closely followed week in the world.

The rest of the season follows the same official calendar. January 2027 brings menswear autumn-winter 2027-2028 and then Haute Couture Week; haute couture autumn-winter 2026-2027 already took place last July. Created in 1974, the event remains the largest showcase for the fashion industry in France, and its history now plays out as much on social media as on the runway.

Where are the shows held, and can you attend without an invitation?

Venues change with every edition. The Grand Palais, the Palais de Tokyo, the Jardin des Tuileries, the courtyard of the Musée du Louvre and private mansions in the Marais have all hosted shows: no space is assigned permanently. Before you go looking for a ticket, note this: there is no public box office and no ticket sales for the official shows. Physical access comes through a house invitation, through press accreditation with the Fédération, which opens ahead of each session, or through professional networks. VIP seats and backstage access are handled by press officers.

One door does open onto emerging talent. SPHERE, the official showroom organised by the Fédération and its partners in support of young designers, takes place at the Palais de Tokyo from Wednesday 30 September to Tuesday 6 October 2026. The selected labels present their collections to international buyers and media, a rare moment of visibility for studios still known to few.

How long does it take to reach the shows from rue Paul Baudry?

Saint-Philippe du Roule, on line 9, sits roughly 200 metres from the hotel door. It is the most useful line of the week, as it runs directly to Iéna, the station for the Palais de Tokyo. Line 1 can be picked up at Franklin D. Roosevelt, George V or Charles de Gaulle Étoile, serving both the Musée du Louvre and the Jardin des Tuileries. Buses 52, 83 and 93 also stop at Saint-Philippe du Roule.

On foot, the maths is simple: ten minutes to the Champs-Élysées and avenue Montaigne, fifteen to the Grand Palais, the Petit Palais, the Tuileries and the banks of the Seine, twenty to the Eiffel Tower. Across a week of four or five appointments a day, those minutes saved morning and evening are exactly what makes a hotel in the 8th arrondissement worth more than one further out. And rue Paul Baudry stays quiet even when the avenue nearby does not.

Which room should you choose for a week of shows?

We always ask the same question at the time of booking: what will your days look like? The answer guides the choice far better than a list of floor areas. Back late and out early? The 16 m² Classic room faces the patio, where the noise of the city does not reach. The windows are soundproofed, air conditioning is fitted in all 31 rooms, and the bathroom benefits from the patio's natural light.

Need to work between showroom appointments? The Deluxe, 21 to 24 m², gives you room to spread out a file or a rail of looks, with a marble bathroom and premium bedding. The Superior, 17 to 20 m², is the logical middle ground, facing either the patio or rue Paul Baudry. For a team or a family, the 34 to 42 m² Family room sleeps four in connecting rooms, which saves booking across two floors. And if stepping outside feels essential, ask for the optional balcony: the street-facing rooms open through tall windows, and five minutes of fresh air is sometimes worth more than a nap.

How do you recover between two days of Fashion Week?

This is where the difference is made, and it is the part nobody talks about. Nine days of shows means hours on your feet, tight journeys and late dinners.

The hotel has a hammam available for private use, open all year by reservation, and a fully equipped fitness room for those who want to keep their routine. Twenty minutes of steam at the end of the day changes how your legs feel the next morning: that is precisely what fashion week guests come looking for in a hotel with a hammam in Paris 8. Nothing showy about it, simply a space to book with reception, which you can have to yourself or share with one other.

The details that count when the days run long

Breakfast is served buffet-style in a room opening onto the planted patio, from 7.00am to 10.30am on weekdays and from 7.30am to 11.00am at weekends, which leaves the choice between a dawn start and a gentler morning. The Honesty Bar, self-service in the lounge, stays open until 2am, useful when you come back from a work dinner and simply want a quiet drink. Room service takes over from 12.00pm to 11.30pm.

On the practical side, reception and the concierge desk operate 24 hours a day with a multilingual team: booking a table, a taxi at 6am, luggage kept on the day you leave. Secure parking can be reserved in advance, Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and the building is accessible to guests with reduced mobility.

What is there to do in the 8th between appointments?

The neighbourhood is, for once, exactly where you want to be. The Golden Triangle, formed by avenue Montaigne, avenue George V and the Champs-Élysées, lines up the boutiques of French and international houses, joined by rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and its fashion and jewellery addresses. It is also where a good share of the street style photographers position themselves during the week.

If you like walking, place de la Concorde and the Tuileries carry you on towards the Musée du Louvre, while Parc Monceau offers a greener pause to the north of the 8th. For a fuller selection of addresses, our guide on what to do in the Champs-Élysées district covers the essentials and a few less obvious detours. Parisian life is easily enjoyed between two shows.
