Hôtel Littéraire Le Swann

A 4-star literary hotel in Paris dedicated to Marcel Proust

The Hotel Littéraire Le Swann, BW Premier Collection is a 4-star literary hotel dedicated entirely to Marcel Proust, located in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, close to Gare Saint-Lazare.

In the heart of the historic Proust district of Plaine Monceau and Saint-Augustin, Le Swann presents a collection of original works about the writer with the aim of allowing guests to discover and fall in love with Proust in a warm and comfortable environment.

Each of the six floors of the Hôtel Littéraire Le Swann is dedicated to a mythical place

described in Marcel Proust's novel: you travel from Combray to Balbec, from the Verdurins' salon to the elegant Faubourg Saint-Germain, to Venice and its favourite artists.

The 80 rooms at the Hotel Le Swann are named after a character from ‘In Search of Lost Time’ or one of Proust's favourite painters. A framed text presents the character with a selected quote, and the original watercolour signed by artist Jean Aubertin reinterprets it to make your room unique.

Will you be staying with Albertine, Oriane de Guermantes or Palamède de Charlus?

Discovering Proust and his work

A great adventure, an immersion into one of the most extraordinary universes of French literature.

The 4-star literary hotel Le Swann is unique because it was designed by a lover of Marcel Proust's work, who imagined this new Parisian address for the writer in such a way that it shares his passion with all visitors. Lovers of literature will discover a special collection that is unique in its scope and diversity, and everyone will be able to familiarise themselves with the writer and his work through books, paintings, photographs and even haute couture pieces.
