Admire the French Rococo architectural elements featured throughout the hotel, like airy white hues, gilded details, sculpted molding, scrolling curves, extravagant ceilings, and optical illusion-like frescoes known as “trompe-l’oeil,” which each contribute to the style’s understated effusiveness.

Uncover the history of this former “hôtel particulier,” a kind of French urban mansion that was built by members of the upper echelon of Parisian society to host personal guests inside private, semi-independent apartments and show off their newfound wealth to palatial effect.

Walk in the footsteps of the former residents who once called the Maison Delano Paris home, including Augustin Blondel de Gagny, a member of the aristocracy who was a valued cultural advisor to King Louis XVI and the French court’s primary event organizer. Also an avid art collector, some of his finds can now be found hanging in the Louvre.
