The short answer: of four headline 2026 luxury openings in Paris, exactly one is trading. Bus Palladium reopened on 10 April 2026 with 35 rooms in Pigalle. Still scheduled: a renovated Hotel Raphael (about 85 rooms), the 90-room Radisson Collection Banke Opera (autumn), and Hotel Louis Vuitton on the Champs-Elysees (2026, still a building site in June). Each is dated and sourced below.

The four openings, by the numbers
One data point reframes this whole list: of the four headline luxury openings, only 25 percent (one of four) was open as of June 2026. The rest are real, signed and dated, but scheduled. Here is the count at a glance.
| Hotel | Area | Status (June 2026) | Rooms / operator |
|---|
| Bus Palladium | Pigalle (9th) | Open since 10 Apr 2026 | 35 rooms; Chapitre Six |
| Hotel Raphael | Kleber (16th) | Reopening 2026 | ~85 rooms; Les Hotels Baverez |
| Banke Opera, Radisson Collection | Opera (9th) | Due autumn 2026 | 90 rooms; Radisson Collection |
| Hotel Louis Vuitton | Champs-Elysees (8th) | Under construction | ~10 suites; LVMH |
How the dates were checked
Pre-opening dates are the least reliable figure on a page like this, so every claim here was verified in June 2026 against the operator's own newsroom or reputable trade press (Radisson Hotel Group, the hotels' own sites, plus Sortiraparis, Wallpaper, Le Bonbon and the French business-travel press Voyages d'Affaires). The rule is simple: a hotel is listed as open only when it is actually trading and bookable. Where a date is still a target, it is labelled scheduled or under construction, and where a project carries obvious slippage risk (Hotel Louis Vuitton is the clearest case), that is stated rather than smoothed over.
The openings, status first

Pigalle, 9th · Open now
Bus Palladium
Reopened 10 April 2026 · 35 rooms
The number that matters: 35. That is the room-and-suite count of the only 2026 opening on this list you can already book. The legendary Pigalle nightclub at 6 rue Pierre Fontaine, closed since 2022, reopened on 10 April 2026 as a five-star hotel-and-club developed by Chapitre Six, with interiors by KO studio. The build added five new storeys above the historic venue, plus a bar, a restaurant led by chef Valentin Raffali, and a rooftop.
One specific to ask for: the 80 m² "Magic Rock" suite, sized to house performing artists, is the largest key in the house and the clearest signal of how the music programming and the hotel are stitched together.
Honest note: this is a hotel built on top of a working live-music and club venue. The trade-off for the energy and the address is noise; if a silent night is the priority, this is not the booking, and rooms over the stage are the ones to weigh most carefully.

Avenue Kleber, 16th · Reopening
Hotel Raphael
Reopening 2026 · ~85 rooms
The figures: open since 1925, run by the Baverez family across four generations, and closed at the end of 2024 to renovate its roughly 85 rooms and suites. The landmark at 17 avenue Kleber, a short walk from the Arc de Triomphe, has pointed to a 2026 reopening tied to its centenary. Its English bar, once a Serge Gainsbourg haunt, and its rooftop terrace are the two assets the regulars come back for.
When: 2026, with the hotel citing spring around the centenary. Treat that as a target, not a fixed date.
Honest note: sources differ on the post-renovation room count (figures of 83 to 85 appear), and a refit on a century-old building can move the reopening. This is a rebirth rather than a new build, so go in expecting refreshed classic rooms, not a reinvention.

Opera, 9th · Scheduled
Banke Opera Paris, A Radisson Collection Hotel
Due autumn 2026 · 90 rooms
The figures: 90 rooms, a building dated to 1907, and the brand's first Paris address. The Banke, a five-star hotel since 2009 inside a former bank on rue La Fayette near the Opera Garnier and Galeries Lafayette, is being fully renovated and rebranded as a Radisson Collection hotel, due in autumn 2026. It is owned by the family office of Zara founder Amancio Ortega, and the plan keeps the Belle Epoque facade and the Gustave Eiffel-designed staircase while moving the wellness area into the former vault.
Why it counts: it gives Radisson's top-tier Collection brand a flagship in central Paris, in a heritage shell rather than a new build.
Honest note: "autumn 2026" is a quarter, not a day. A full renovation of a listed building is exactly the kind of project whose handover can slide, so do not lock travel dates to it yet.

Champs-Elysees, 8th · Under construction
Hotel Louis Vuitton
Scheduled 2026 · ~10 suites
The figures: roughly 6,000 square metres of floor area, but only around ten suites (including duplexes and a triplex) planned. That ratio is the story: LVMH's first hotel, at 103-111 Avenue des Champs-Elysees, is built around exclusivity, with a restaurant, an outsized spa, boutiques and exhibition space wrapped around a very small key count.
When: scheduled for 2026. As of June 2026 the building was still a construction site, its facade clad in a giant Louis Vuitton trunk hoarding.
Honest note: this is the highest slippage risk on the list. A renovation this complex, with no confirmed opening day, should be treated as a maybe for 2026; do not pay any third-party "pre-opening" rate until the maison confirms a live date.

For context: the wave that already landed
If you want a recent Paris luxury hotel you can book today, the strongest options pre-date this year. Paris's last big opening cluster centred on 2021: Cheval Blanc Paris opened on 7 September 2021 on the Quai du Louvre with 72 rooms and suites, and the Bvlgari Hotel Paris opened on 2 December 2021 at 30 avenue George V with 76 rooms and suites. Both still rank among the city's most accomplished recent additions, which is also why 2026's thinner pipeline is worth reading carefully rather than over-hyping.
How to book around a scheduled opening
Three rules hold up well in a year with one open hotel and three on the calendar. First, do not pre-pay for a property that has not opened; "pre-opening" rates can surface on third-party sites months early, and dates move. Second, if your trip is date-critical, book a hotel that is already trading, Bus Palladium among the newcomers, or one of the established palaces, and treat the unopened three as a bonus if they land in time. Third, when an opening does happen, the first few weeks are a soft-launch window: service is still settling, and amenities like the spa or signature restaurant often trail the room count. That is normal, and a reason to set expectations rather than to stay away.
