Traces of the past and the metamorphosis of the 1930s

Nestled in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, a few steps from the Opéra Garnier, the Maison Albar Le Vendôme is not content to be a five-star hotel, but rather a key piece of Parisian heritage. In the 1880s, it was home to a vibrant cabaret, and today, it proudly preserves this heritage with a wooden facade still displaying the period inscription “Le Lyon d'Or”. Entering this establishment is a plunge into the past, with every detail recalling the vibrant Paris of yesteryear.

The 1930s saw the cabaret become a bank, bringing an additional dimension to the history of this iconic place. Today, the staircase leading to the spa retains its period mosaic, once the way to the safes. A graceful transition between eras, each step resonates with the echo of past times.
