The building, built in 1896, is part of Baron Haussmann's renowned urban development plan, which has given Paris much of its prestige. As you pass through our newly renovated carriage entrance, flanked by two magnificent bronze gates, you will discover a spacious and elegant lobby.

The woodwork and design of our completely redecorated lobby is attributed to the owner, Mr. Guy Heilbronn. Here you will be greeted by either the hotel manager, Viviane Collin, or the receptionists. Whether you are looking for dinner at a romantic restaurant, a guided tour of Paris, or information about museums, our team can provide you will all the concierge services you desire.

The story of a piano..
When, in 1956, Mrs Heilbronn, whose family still runs the hotel, purchased the Cécilia hotel, the only heritage left by the previous owners was a piano. This masterpiece was made by the famous company Gaveau, a piano maker in the 19th century, whose work is fully recognized in the musical world. You can enjoy the bar (open 24 hours a day) and play some notes if you wish or get comfortably seated in the lounge.

Located at the end of the lounge, our breakfast room welcomes you from 7AM to 10.30AM, where you can enjoy a cold buffet along with fresh croissants and bread made by an artisan baker from the neighbourhood. If you wish, a continental breakfast can be served in your room.

You can reach the Arc de Triomphe, go down the Champs-Elysées or visit the Eiffel Tower (15 minutes) without using public transportation. Within a few minutes by metro, you can visit Place de la Concorde, the Louvre Museum, or the Tuileries garden. Conveniently, the Avenue des Ternes, a block away, offers a wide variety of boutiques, or you can take the RER A and you access within 5 minutes to the department stores, Printemps and Galerie Lafayette, on Boulevard Haussmann. The neighbourhood around our hotel offers many restaurants, from the typical Parisian brasserie to the most upscale tables. The famous Poncelet outdoor food market is very close to the hotel, and is well-known for the quality of its products.

"Hotel Cecilia is 2 minutes walk from the Arc de Triomphe, Champs Elysees & the nearest Metro station (Charles de Gaulle Etoile). The hotel itself has a warm feel and is elegantly furnished. The staff were all exceptional, very friendly and very helpful for local information. Will definitely go again......"

“Great experience”

"The Hotel Cecilia was recommended to us by a friend of one of our 4 group members. We had no idea even with her positive recommendation that we would be as pleased with the hotel as we were. The location was perfect. The rooms were great and the bathrooms very large and modern. The staff could not have been more helpful with their restaurant recommendations and general info about transportation and the things that first-time travelers to an area needed. The first 3 of our 4 to arrive did not speak French but it was not a problem. We checked out of the Cecilia on Sunday morning after 2 nights to travel to southern France but had made reservations for the night before we were to leave as we were flying out of Charles de Gaulle airport. They allowed us to leave luggage that we did not need in their storage area while we were gone. When we returned on Wednesday afternoon, they handed us our keys, asked about our trip and immediately told us where to find our rooms - no signatures required. We opted for the breakfast buffet which was really great: coffee, assortment of juices, croissants, yogurts, fruit, cheese, jellies and jams, toast... We could not have asked for more."

"An ideal hotel for a short break on a budget....."

This small hotel is a real gem and ideally placed for a short trip to Paris. Our room overlooked the Arc De Triomphe - everywhere was within walking distance. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. Fabulous value for money - highly recommended!
