PARIS LES HALLES
OUR HISTORY
SINCE 1985
1981-1985 CONSTRUCTION
Located in the heart of the capital, in the 1st arrondissement, our establishment was built on a strategic site: Les Halles. Close to public transportation and just a few minutes walk from numerous Parisian monuments including the Louvre, Novotel Paris les Halles benefits from a neighborhood rich in history, ensuring a lasting local presence.

HÔTEL INAUGURATION
1986 FILMING OF THE MOVIE TERMINUS
Over the years, our establishment has been the setting for numerous film shoots, such as “Terminus”, the start of the 9th Paris-Alger-Dakar Rally, and meetings with personalities like Gérard Jugnot. Truly a fancy hotel!
1987 OLD KITCHEN RENOVATION
1990 THE FAMILY SUITE
In 1990, Novotel Paris les Halles inaugurated its first Suite, establishing itself as a must-visit destination for families in Paris. Spacious and bright, it features a separate living room and can accommodate up to 5 people.

1998 OUR RESTAURANT BECOMES A CHIC PARISIAN ADDRESS
2012 OUR EXPERIENCE BECOMES PERSONALIZED
The 2010s mark the beginning of a customer experience that we aim to personalize, making your stays unique and memorable. Our rooms are modernized, and our Housekeeping and Guest Relations services are expanded to provide you with comfort and peace of mind.
2016 RENOVATION
OF ATELIER H
In 2016, our entire event space was redesigned by Jim Hamilton, a Scottish designer, to offer our guests a unique experience in a cozy and vintage ambiance, combining beautiful materials that echo the historic
Halles district (mosaic, wrought iron, steel, arcade).
Hamilton, Halles and Home are our references behind the name Atelier H.

AN ELEGANT AND MODERN ADDRESS

A NEIGHBORHOOD IN CONSTANT EVOLUTION
After supplying Paris for over 800 years, the historic markets of Les Halles were demolished in 1969 and moved to Rungis and La Villette due to lack of space. This operation, nicknamed the “move of the century”, lasted over 10 years and marked the neighborhood. The Forum de Halles, as we have known it in recent years, was inaugurated in 1979 but lasted only about thirty years as Les Halles were transformed by the arrival of the Canopée in 2016.
OUR ARTISTIC SIGNATURE
Our Scottish architect Jim Hamilton preserved many artistic elements from the old Les Halles markets. Mosaics, materials, glass - many details are hidden in the architecture and design of our hotel.
Have you noticed the black and white rosettes on the floor of Atelier H? They were once found in the columns of Les Halles.
THE GREEN TEAM
In 2021, we created our Green Team, composed of representatives from different hotel services, to advance our daily sustainable missions.
We are committed to respecting our three sustainability pillars: managing our energy consumption, managing and reducing waste, and raising awareness among our guests and staff.
OUR SUSTAINABLE NEWS
For the past two years, we have been working with the SurfRider association, which fights against marine pollution and protects the oceans. With the arrival of spring, we are delighted to launch the “Grand Spring Cleaning” project.
What does it involve? At the end of April, for one hour, our teams will collect waste around the hotel. Once collected, these bags are sent to the association, which raises funds to clean the seabed.
GREEN KEY CERTIFICATION
The entire team at Novotel Paris les Halles is committed to offering the perfect balance between quality and eco-responsibility.
We are proud to have seen our efforts recognised and rewarded with the Green Key certification in 2023.
ZERO PLASTIC
As we want the best for you, our rooms are 100% free of single use plastic.
Our room keys are made from FSC-certified wood, and our hygiene products are offered in refillable bottles. To discover all our sustainable actions, feel free to consult our commitments to sustainability.
