Hotel Lumen is situated in the heart of Paris, halfway between the Louvre, Opera Garnier and Place Vendôme, round the corner of famous Saint Honoré shopping street.
Among the nearby attractions, you will find:
The Palais Royal: a palace and garden located near the Ier arrondissement of Paris. Opposite the north wing of the Louvre, its famous forecourt (cour d'honneur) screened with columns (since 1986 containing Daniel Buren's site-specific artpiece) faces the Place du Palais-Royal, which was much enlarged by Baron Haussmann after the Rue de Rivoli was built for Napoleon. Today it houses the Conseil d'État, the Constitutional Council, and the Ministry of Culture.
The Tuileries Garden (French Jardin des Tuileries) which is surrounded by the Louvre (to the east), the Seine (to the south), the Place de la Concorde (to the west) and the Rue de Rivoli (to the north).
Place Vendôme, a square in the 1st arrondissement of Paris located to the north of the Tuileries Gardens and east of the Église de la Madeleine. It is the starting point of the Rue de la Paix. Its regular architecture by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and pedimented screens canted across the corners give the rectangular Place Vendôme the aspect of an octagon.
