Hotel Litteraire Le Swann, BW Premier Collection

The Hôtel Littéraire Le Swann, BW Premier Collection is a 4-star Hôtel Littéraire devoted entirely to Marcel Proust. It is situated in the 8th Arrondissement of Paris, near the Gare Saint-Lazare railway station.

Le Swann is located in the centre of the historically Proustian district of the Plaine Monceau and Saint-Augustin. A collection of original works relating to the writer are on display, with the aim of raising awareness and inspiring a love of Proust, in a welcoming, comfortable setting.

Each of the six floors of the Hôtel Littéraire Le Swann is devoted to an iconic place described in Marcel Proust's novel - you will therefore travel from Combray to Balbec, from the Verdurin's salon to the elegant Faubourg Saint-Germain, and to Venice and Proust's favourite artists.

The 80 rooms of the Hôtel Le Swann are named after a character from In Search of Lost Time or one of Proust's favourite painters. A framed text introduces the character with a selected quotation; this is reinterpreted in an original watercolour by the artist Jean Aubertin, making your room unique.

Will you sleep in the room named after Albertine, Oriane de Guermantes or Palamède de Charlus?

Hotel opened in 1900, renovated in 2008.
