The Hotel de la Paix, Paris, 1862. The Hotel de la Paix...is situated on the north side of the Boulevard des Capucines...[it] is built in the form of an equilateral triangle...The western rounded corner comprises a pavilion destined for several series of apartments more strictly private than the rest, with separate entrances. The principal entrance to the hotel is by the Corinthian colonnade in the centre of the boulevard facade...There are no less than 444 windows in this entire triangular frontage, exclusive of those of the ground floor and the entresol, to be let out as shops and warehouses...We have mentioned cursorily the superiority of the situation of this new hotel; we can only allude in the same manner to some of the agreeable accessories of this prince of caravansaries, comprising upwards of six hundred chambers, such as the electric telegraph, acoustic tubes, machinery for lifting luggage to the different stones, apparatus for raising over-fatigued or disabled travellers to their particular floor, letter-box, commissioners, interpreters, money-changer, carriages - in fine, everything that can contribute to the comfort or satisfy the caprices of the most fastidious'.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hotel de la Paix, Paris, 1862: A Beacon of Luxury and Innovation The Hotel de la Paix, located on the north side of the Boulevard des Capucines, was a symbol of elegance and modernity in the heart of Paris during the mid-19th century. This architectural marvel, built in the form of an equilateral triangle, boasted a unique design that set it apart from other hotels of the time. The western rounded corner of the hotel housed a pavilion with private apartments, complete with separate entrances for added exclusivity. The main entrance, however, was through the grand Corinthian colonnade that graced the center of the boulevard facade. With no less than 444 windows, the entire triangular frontage offered breathtaking views of the city. The Hotel de la Paix was renowned for its superior location, but it was the amenities and services that truly set it apart. The hotel featured innovative conveniences such as an electric telegraph, acoustic tubes, and machinery for lifting luggage to different floors. For those in need of assistance, there were devices to help lift the over-fatigued or disabled guests to their rooms. Other amenities included letter-boxes, commissioners, interpreters, and a money-changer, ensuring that every guest's needs were catered to. The hotel offered upwards of six hundred chambers, making it a true palace for travelers. The Hotel de la Paix was more than just a place to rest; it was a testament to the ingenuity and luxury of the Belle Époque era. This photograph, taken in 1862, captures the grandeur and sophistication of the Hotel de la Paix, a symbol of Parisian hospitality and innovation.
