Maison La Bohème Montmartre: Suites and apartments in Paris

Maison La Bohème Montmartre: Living the artistic legend at the top of Paris

Perched 130 meters above sea level, Maison La Bohème Montmartre enjoys an utterly unique location at 2 Place du Tertre, just steps from the Sacré-Cœur and facing Saint-Pierre de Montmartre, one of the oldest churches in Paris. Here, the setting feels like a village suspended in time: cobblestone streets, lively terraces, artists’ easels and church bells echoing at dawn. In the early hours of the morning, before the crowds arrive, the residence reveals a rare sense of calm, bathed in soft golden light, with sweeping views over Paris rooftops and, in some suites, direct views of the Sacré-Cœur from the bed or even the bathtub.

Maison La Bohème Montmartre is, above all, an address steeped in history. As early as 1894, the building welcomed travelers and artists under the name Hôtel du Tertre. At the turn of the 20th century, it became a vibrant hub of Parisian bohemia, frequented by Modigliani, Picasso, Max Jacob, Toulouse-Lautrec and Erik Satie. Artists from the nearby Bateau-Lavoir gathered here to debate art and life over glasses of absinthe. This free-spirited energy helped shape the myth of Montmartre and would later inspire Charles Aznavour’s iconic song La Bohème. Demolished in 1924 and rebuilt in 1937, the building continued its artistic life as a restaurant, cabaret and nightlife venue, before being reborn in 2024 as an elegant hotel residence.

Behind its discreet Parisian façade, the architecture of Maison La Bohème Montmartre respects the soul of the neighborhood while embracing a contemporary vision. The two historic houses dating back to 1835 were entirely redesigned by Atelier J.A and Atelier PPMJ, founded by Matthieu Joubin and Pauline Plégat, trained by Laura Gonzales. The interiors draw inspiration from Montmartre’s artistic heritage: warm hues, floral patterns, rich velvets and graphic accents create a refined yet welcoming atmosphere. Each space feels carefully composed, balancing the intimacy of an artist’s studio with the sophistication of Parisian living.

The residence features 14 high-end studios and apartments with hotel services, ranging from 23 to 120 square meters, each named after a legendary artist associated with Montmartre. The standout is the Prestige Modigliani Apartment, a 120-square-meter duplex offering breathtaking views of the Sacré-Cœur from its bedrooms and even from its mosaic-clad bathtub. Once home to Dolores Chaplin, granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, this luminous apartment under the eaves combines exposed beams, a private hammam and an open kitchen centered around a vintage Eero Saarinen Knoll table. Other apartments, including Renoir, Matisse, Monet, Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec, each offer their own distinctive atmosphere, generous volumes and exceptional comfort, ideal for couples, families or friends seeking a truly Parisian stay.

Maison La Bohème Montmartre is seamlessly connected to La Bohème Montmartre, the iconic brasserie located downstairs. A true Parisian institution, it serves generous, traditional French cuisine under the direction of chef Tomasz Krzepina. On the menu are classic onion soup, roast free-range chicken, beef tartare, truffle-infused coquillettes, seasonal oysters and seafood platters, followed by timeless desserts. Breakfast is best enjoyed on the sunlit terrace, one of the only terraces on Place du Tertre to catch the morning light, while room service allows guests to enjoy the full menu at any hour, reinforcing the feeling of living like a local.

While Maison La Bohème Montmartre does not feature a spa or swimming pool, it offers a different kind of well-being, the luxury of time suspended. Direct access to the restaurant, a privatizable cabaret, live music, cultural events, a discreet boutique and personalized services shape an experience that feels vibrant yet intimate. Maison La Bohème Montmartre offers an exclusive partnership with the high-end gym La Montgolfière on rue Joseph de Maistre, a 10-minute walk away, allowing guests access included in the booking price. Tailor-made experiences, from cultural visits to festive evenings, immerse guests fully in the spirit of Montmartre. Maison La Bohème Montmartre can be entirely privatized with its adjoining cabaret/boudoir for private or professional events.

More than a hotel residence in Paris, Maison La Bohème Montmartre is an invitation to experience the soul of a legendary neighborhood from the inside, a refined retreat where artistic heritage, understated elegance and the gentle rhythm of Parisian life come together. A haven for aesthetes, dreamers and lovers of Paris, perched at the very top of the capital.
