The Parisian gourmet food and delicatessen company is opening its first hotel, September 1, in the French capital's Place de la Madeleine -- the same square in which Fauchon opened its first store, 132 years ago. Here's a look inside the upcoming hotel, which has 54 rooms, including 17 suites.
Joining legendary establishments such as the Negresco in Nice and the Ritz Paris in the prestigious "The Leading Hotels of the World" consortium, Fauchon will officially launch into the sumptuous world of five-star hotels this fall. The hotel is located at 11 Place de la Madeleine, a stone's throw from number 26, where Auguste Félix Fauchon opened his first store in 1886 after having sold fruit and vegetables on the same square in the French capital's 8th arrondissement. The hotel is designed by the architect Richard Martinet in keeping with the brand's signature colors, the distinctive combination of hot pink and black.
