LITERARY HOTELS
The Société des Hôtels Littéraires was created by Jacques Letertre, a keen collector and bibliophile who wanted to share his love for books by dedicating four-star hotels to his favourite writers. The decor pays homage to the chosen author through exhibition areas, multi-lingual libraries containing rare books and 500 paperbacks, works of art and rooms calling a specific character or poem to mind. Organising literary evenings, these hotels are also cultural centres and active partners of book stores, museums and fairs.
Following in the footsteps of the literary hotel Le Swann in Paris (8th district) dedicated to Marcel Proust, the Gustave Flaubert in Rouen, the Alexandre Vialatte in Clermont-Ferrand and the Marcel Aymé in Montmartre, the literary hotel Arthur Rimbaud in the 10th district of Paris was inaugurated on March 2019.
