A hotel ideally located between Saint-Lazare and Place de Clichy
Located on Rue de Rome, on the edge of the Batignolles district and the 8th arrondissement, Grand Hôtel Chicago is an excellent location from which to explore Paris on foot or in a few metro stops. Rome metro station (line 2) is about a four-minute walk away, just steps from the hotel.

A little further, Villiers station (line 3) heads towards the Opéra, the Bourse and the city center.
Close to Saint-Lazare, the hotel is a short walk down Rue de Rome from the great Right Bank station.

Heading north, it serves Pont Cardinet and Porte de Clichy, handy for an appointment or a meeting at the Paris courthouse. Heading south, it reaches Gare de Lyon and runs all the way to Orly Airport. For Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, the concierge team will help you arrange your journey, by public transport or by taxi.
FROM THE ROARING TWENTIES TO TODAY
A 4-star boutique hotel between Art Deco heritage and Parisian charm
The story of Grand Hôtel Chicago begins in the early twentieth century. As a stopover hotel for travelers arriving at Saint-Lazare, it already embodied the cosmopolitan spirit of the Right Bank. Freshly renovated with modern facilities, the property keeps Art Deco echoes from its early years: brass details, black curves, bold geometric design and amber light. It is a charming hotel where timeless styles meet, and above all a place full of life.
Here, the railway is part of the scenery. Along Rue de Rome, the Saint-Lazare tracks run in a cutting towards the Pont de l’Europe. Gustave Caillebotte painted this very bridge in 1876, a year before Claude Monet set up his easel in the station next door. Stop on the bridge at dusk, when the suburban trains glide past below: it is one of the most Parisian views in the neighborhood.
Inside, the living spaces carry on this atmosphere. Guests read in the fireside corner, linger at the counter bar or chat in the breakfast alcove while time slips by. The hotel is accessible to guests with reduced mobility.
FROM MARBLE TO BRASS
Comfortable rooms, from classic to connecting rooms
Designed in warm tones and clean lines, the 51 rooms of Grand Hôtel Chicago suit every kind of travel. Each one is equipped with a hospitality tray, minibar, safe, desk, television, telephone, full-length mirror and hairdryer, with WiFi available and air conditioning.

At 18 sqm, the Superior Room, with street or courtyard view, combines marble, natural straw and geometric patterns. Its bathroom with zellige-style effects extends this luminous harmony. Looking for more space? The Deluxe Room (23 sqm) sleeps up to three people, with a king size bed or twin beds, a sofa bed, a daybed and a distinctive palette of lichen and moss greens.
For families, the Connecting Rooms offer 30 sqm for four people, or up to five on request. They come with two bathrooms and either two double beds or one double bed and two single beds. It is a family friendly arrangement with comfortable spaces where everyone feels at home.

A VILLAGE IN THE CITY
The Batignolles district, a lively and authentic Parisian village
Before becoming a sought-after district in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, Batignolles was a village. The former commune of Batignolles-Monceau was annexed to the city of Paris in 1860. It has kept the feel of a market town where people bump into each other at the café, at the cheesemonger’s or on a bench in the square. Long a popular, working-class area, the neighborhood today blends Haussmann-style façades, food shops and trendy boutiques, popular with guests and Parisians alike.
Artists understood this long before us. In the late 1860s, Manet, Monet, Renoir, Bazille and Zola met so often at the Café Guerbois, on Avenue de Clichy, that people spoke of the “Batignolles group”. Henri Fantin-Latour left a group portrait of them, A Studio at Les Batignolles, now on display at the Musée d’Orsay. A few doors down Rue de Rome, Stéphane Mallarmé received poets and painters in his salon every Tuesday.
To explore Batignolles and take the pulse of the district, start with the Square des Batignolles. This English-style garden was laid out under the Second Empire, with its pond, stream and ducks. Facing it, the Church of Sainte-Marie des Batignolles shows off its columned façade. Continue to the more recent Parc Clichy-Batignolles Martin-Luther-King, then stroll along Rue des Dames and Rue Legendre for shopping that is as local as it is trendy, with plenty of nearby dining options. The best time to go is late afternoon, when the terraces fill up, the lively atmosphere spreads and Place du Docteur-Félix-Lobligeois takes on the air of a village square. Don’t miss the Batignolles market either, which the neighborhood’s food lovers adore.
FROM MONCEAU TO MONTMARTRE
Exploring Paris from Batignolles: Parc Monceau, Montmartre and the Opéra
About a ten-minute walk away, Parc Monceau unfolds its paths, colonnade and romantic follies. Two museums border the park. The Nissim de Camondo Museum is devoted to eighteenth-century French decorative arts, and the Cernuschi Museum is dedicated to Asian arts.
To the east, allow around a quarter of an hour on foot to reach the Moulin Rouge, on Boulevard de Clichy. Grand Hôtel Chicago is a hotel located near Montmartre and close to the Moulin Rouge. There is no need to book a Montmartre hotel to enjoy the lanes of the hill, Place du Tertre and the Sacré-Cœur Basilica, which you can reach on foot or by line 2.
To the south, Boulevard Haussmann, the great shopping district, is lined with the Printemps and Galeries Lafayette department stores. They stand next to the Opéra Garnier (Palais Garnier), which you can reach in under half an hour on foot or in a few metro stops. Further on, the Champs-Élysées and the Arc de Triomphe, on Place Charles-de-Gaulle, are around 5 min by car. In the heart of Paris and within reach by public transport, the Louvre Museum, the Eiffel Tower and Saint-Germain-des-Prés complete your tour of the capital in a day.
