172 rooms inside the 18th-century Hôtel Rivié at 30-32 rue du Sentier — opened 2017 as Hoxton's first Paris property, with Cabinet Humbert & Poyet interiors, the Rivié brasserie, and the Jacques cocktail bar in the listed cellars.
"The strongest under-€400 boutique in central Paris — an 18th-century hôtel particulier with 172 small-but-correctly-detailed rooms, a working courtyard brasserie, and a cellar bar designed by Soho House. The lobby is the closest thing Paris has to a working co-working café for hotel guests."
The Hoxton Paris opened on 4 September 2017 as the fourth Hoxton property after Shoreditch (2006), Holborn (2014) and Amsterdam (2015), and remains the brand's largest and most architecturally significant building. The address is 30-32 rue du Sentier, 75002 — the 18th-century Hôtel Rivié, a Louis XV-era hôtel particulier built between 1730 and 1740 for a textile-trading family that gave its name to the building. The structure was acquired and merged with adjacent buildings during the early-2010s Hoxton expansion under Sharan Pasricha (Ennismore), and restored over three years by Cabinet Humbert & Poyet (Monaco) — the same studio behind Beefbar, Le Pavillon de la Reine restoration, and the Maison Albar Paris hotels. The two interior cobbled courtyards were retained; the historic central staircase was preserved and restored; the listed 18th-century cellars were converted to the cocktail bar.
The 172 rooms are arranged across the building's restored upper floors in four categories — Shoebox (13-17 sqm), Cosy (17-21 sqm), Roomy (19-30 sqm) and Biggy (23-36 sqm) — pricing from €290/night for Shoebox to around €600/night for Biggy. The room palette is muted blues, terracotta and oak with brass detailing; every category includes the Hoxton signature breakfast bag at the door each morning. The Biggy and Cosy categories include freestanding bathtubs in the bay windows; select Roomy and Biggy rooms face the cobbled courtyards rather than the street. The trade-off is explicit and appropriately priced: Shoebox is the smallest category in any Paris hotel above three stars, but the building, the lobby, the courtyards and the public floors are at five-star standard.
The Rivié is the all-day brasserie occupying the ground floor and one of the two interior courtyards, named after the original 18th-century owners of the building, with a French-Italian register, a wood-fired oven, and lunch service that runs to 4 PM — the longest weekday lunch service of any Paris hotel restaurant. Jacques is the listed-cellar cocktail bar designed by the in-house Soho House design team, open 5 PM to 2 AM Wednesday through Saturday with a 60-cover capacity and a programmed live-music schedule three nights a week. The lobby is the property's most-used room — Hoxton's signature working-lounge format with free shared tables, the all-day Rivié bar service, and a community programming calendar that runs from yoga to drawing classes. Guest WiFi is unlimited and complimentary; the Hoxton's London-derived hospitality grammar.
The position is the proposition. Sentier is the rapidly-renovated former garment-district arrondissement immediately north of Les Halles, with the Bourse de Commerce-Pinault Collection eight minutes south on foot, the Marais 12 minutes east, and Sentier Métro 90 seconds away. Grands Boulevards Métro is six minutes north. The Hoxton is the strongest sub-€500 boutique in central Paris — the building, the location, the cabinet Humbert & Poyet design and the long-day brasserie are not matched at the rate. The trade-off, again, is room size; Shoebox is too small for guests who plan to spend afternoons in the room, and the upper categories deserve to be the booked category for any stay over four nights.
For Paris solo travellers — particularly creative-industry guests and writers — the Hoxton lobby is the closest thing in central Paris to a working day-room. The breakfast bag, the all-day Rivié bar service, free reliable WiFi, the courtyard for outdoor working in summer; the central position 12 minutes from the Marais and eight minutes from the Pinault Collection. A Roomy or Biggy room is the appropriate category for a stay over five nights.
For Paris business stays where the rate ceiling is €500/night and the priority is workspace rather than ceremony, the Hoxton is the clean answer — Cosy or Roomy categories, the working lobby, three meeting rooms (The Apartment, Library, Boardroom), and the 4 PM brasserie close that handles late-running working lunches better than any palace dining room. Sentier-La Bourse is a 10-minute walk; Châtelet-Les Halles is 7 minutes by Métro.
For mid-rate Paris bachelor/ette weekends, the Hoxton is the under-€500 answer — a Biggy room block of 4-6 rooms, the Jacques cellar bar with its DJ programme, and the Sentier-Marais nightlife corridor 10 minutes east on foot. The lobby handles daytime gathering; the Rivié brasserie handles group dinner up to 30 guests; private events at Jacques are bookable Sunday-Tuesday.
