born and passing Parisians alike
By playing detective, we discovered that DADOU's history can be traced back to 1885
Our hotel in Paris Arc de Triomphe
of the Eiffel Tower in 1889...
Our irrefutable proof?
A small ad placed in Le Figaro at the time to announce that the hotel, historically named the Troyon, was looking for a valet who was also a good cook...
Yes, our predecessors already demanded high standards.
Taken over in 2019 by Sidonie Dubrule-Arnaud and Guillaume Arnaud, the Troyon became DADOU after 2 years of heavy renovations, a lot of elbow grease, and a few hiccups (thank you, Mr. Covid...).
Already owners of two family hotels in Boulogne-Billancourt, these hospitality lovers wanted to expand within Paris proper.
of the classic Parisian boutique hotel
Gradually, the idea of offering a playful reinterpretation of the classic Parisian boutique hotel sprouted in their minds, and the siblings had fun twisting the codes of this pure Haussmann-style building (freestone, maid's rooms, concierge lodge...).
Designed as a true Parisian pied-à-terre, DADOU makes it a point of honor to follow no rules, other than making sure you feel good there.
