Now, as part of an exclusive new collaboration with the legendary Musée du Louvre, guests can experience a unique tour inspired by the mythical ‘Madame Rêve’ herself; Rêve translating in English as ‘dream’. The bespoke tour package, available until the end of summer, includes a one-night stay and access to the Louvre, located just a few minutes’ walk away. Guests can follow the beautifully created map left in their room or, for an even more personal experience, the concierge at Hôtel Madame Rêve can organize a private guided tour.
Specially created by the museum’s curators, the tour will guide guests through The Louvre’s elegant galleries, showcasing a selection of masterpieces which evoke a sense of dream-like wonder. Exploring how dreams free us from reality and plausibility, the tour reveals how artists have responded to this throughout history; from Giotto’s depiction of the dreams of Pope Innocent III, to the sensuality of a sleeping Venus eroticized by Fragonard, and depictions of Morpheus–a Greco-Roman god associated with sleep–rendered onto the ceiling of the museum itself.
Come night-time, La Plume Rive Droite is one of the city’s most stylish restaurants, a dream dining experience where renowned chef Benjamin Six combines Japanese culinary traditions with the finest French flavors. Before digging into dishes such as Wagyu beef tataki, braised octopus and roasted duck breast, the spectacular curved marble bar is the perfect spot to enjoy a signature aperitif, with captivating views that can be enjoyed from every corner of the restaurant.

Inspired by pioneering architect Gustave Eiffel, offering the city’s best cocktails, and panoramic sunset views, ROOF promises to once again be the hottest spot to rest, rêve, and rendezvous this summer.
