Millennium Hotels will bring its lifestyle M Social brand to Paris on September 9, marking the brand’s first outpost in Europe.
The former Millennium Paris Opera has undergone a €5.4 million renovation project to transform it into the 163-room M Social Paris Hotel Opera. The building, located at 12 Boulevard Haussman in the city’s Opera district, dates back to 1927.
The hotel draws inspiration from the 1920s era, with an Art Deco foyer featuring marble surfaces, orange chandeliers and a glass-roofed cupola. Architects StudioCaid are behind the newly renovated areas and have incorporated surrounding landmarks such as the Opera Garnier and Louvre into the design of the hotel.
The renovated rooms include Signature rooms offering views of the hotel’s inner courtyard and ‘Grande Sweetie’ suites that offer separate living areas and views of the Opera Garnier or the Sacré-Coeur. Amenities include Smart TVs, high-speed wifi, blackout curtains, and complimentary tea and coffee.
Dining venues will include a traditional French brasserie, a grab-and-go café, a cocktail bar and Restaurant La Bibliotheque. Meetings and events spaces include seven newly refurbished event spaces.
Kwek Leng Beng, Executive Chairman of Millennium and Copthorne Hotels Limited, said:
“People are in search of new and exciting experiences. M Social is all about creativity and passion. Combine this with the hotel’s central location and you have a winning formula to satiate travellers’ wanderlust. With Europe re-opening, this is an opportune time for us to introduce M Social to this key gateway city.”
M Social Paris Opera becomes the brand’s fourth property, joining M Social Singapore which opened in 2016, M Social Auckland which was unveiled in 2017, and M Social New York which debuted earlier this year.
Millennium describes the M Social brand as “a small but mighty collection of lifestyle hotels that offer travellers a fresh, fun and distinctively unique experience”.
This comes after the opening of the Kimpton St Honoré Paris in the same neighbourhood.
