About Hotel Le 123 Sebastopol



This is a 4 Star hotel in Paris located within a building that was originally constructed around the start of the 1900s, and part of the Astotel Hotel Group, it was completely refurbished in 2013 by the company Maidenberg Architecture, who specialise in design, architecture, building regulations and interior design of hotels in Paris.

Founded by Philippe Maidenberg, who originally had hands on experience whilst studying, such as working with the late I M Pei on the Grand Louvre project for the Louvre Museum, there is a dedicated team of specialists, yet they also often call upon outside influences for specialist designs, just like they did for the Astotel Hotel Le 123 Sebastopol.
From the minute you walk into the lobby of Hotel Le 123 Sebastopol you will be transported to the world of cinema with posters and film boards, the top of the reception desk that is alight with the names of the people who were instrumental in the design making it look like the front of a theatre or cinema advertising what's on, along with their framed photos and biographies, through to a popcorn machine and red carpet travelling along the corridor, making you feel like you are at the famous awards ceremony.

Each floor has a specific theme and in conjunction with Astotel and Maidenberg Architecture, these stars of cinema and film were instrumental in making this a truly unusual hotel in Paris including Ennio Morricone who is considered to be the world's greatest film composer, and one of the elements is a grand piano along with music scores written on walls of bedrooms on one floor of the hotel.

Another floor is dedicated to Jean-Paul Belmondo, the renowned French actor who was originally interested in boxing, and yes, you guessed it, rooms on another floor have a boxing theme, along with large prints captured from his films.

Whereas another floor is dedicated to actress Elsa Zylberstein and the theme of the rooms is truly romantic with plush velvet and hanging chandeliers, reminiscent of some of the romantic films she has starred in.

Other quirky and original features include seats that pop up and pull down, just like you get in a theatre or cinema, through to the cocktail bar that is set like a stage, the red carpet theme continues through different areas of the Hotel Le 123 Sebastopol, such as in the glassed walled and ceiling breakfast room and on the stairs, in addition to bathroom basin cabinets designed to look like they would be a case holding film reels.
