Founded in 1858, it is located at the southern entrance to the Place Vendôme, on the northwest corner of the intersection of the Rue Saint-Honoré and the Rue Place Vendôme.

The hotel occupies a former hôtel particulier, the Hôtel Batailhe de Francès, built in 1723 by Pierre Perrin, secrétaire du roi, and the architect Armand-Claude Mollet [fr].

The façade and the roof of the building on the Place Vendôme were classified as monuments historiques on 17 May 1930.

[5] In 2004, Chopard, a retailer of luxury watches and jewellery, opened a boutique on the ground floor of the hotel with an entrance on the Rue Saint-Honoré.

In 2014 Chopard purchased the entire hotel from its previous owner, the UHP (Union Hôtelière Parisienne).
