Is it possible to buy an apartment with the services of a luxury hotel in Paris?
Owning your own apartment in Paris, while benefiting from a permanent concierge service, a spa, a swimming pool, hotel services, enhanced security and sometimes the catering of a very luxury establishment: this model, long associated with London, New York, Miami or Dubai, is beginning to take root in the capital.

Can you really own your apartment and live like you're in a palace?
This is precisely one of the most interesting transformations currently taking place in the ultra-prime real estate market in Paris.
For a long time, the buyer of an exceptional apartment in Paris essentially bought three things: an address, architecture, and a dwelling.
He could then organize his own concierge service, staff, driver, cleaning service or security.
The branded residence model changes this logic.
Value can now reside as much in the services available as in the square meters owned: concierge, wellness, security, housekeeping, catering or daily assistance.
This development brings residential real estate closer to the very high-end hotel industry, without eliminating the privacy of a private residence.
Note: hotel residences and apartments for sale are not the same thing
This is the most important distinction to answer the question correctly.
You'll stay in an apartment with a kitchen, living room, and bedrooms, while enjoying hotel services. The accommodation is not necessarily for sale.
You become the owner of your apartment, in a program that provides access to services organized for residents.
Private accommodation is associated with a hotel, real estate or luxury brand and a contracted level of service.
The nuance is essential.
A magnificent apartment rented by the week with a butler and housekeeper is not automatically a residence that one can buy.
Conversely, a true branded residence is designed from the outset to combine private ownership and a world of services.
What services can a "palace-like" apartment offer?
The services offered vary greatly depending on the program.
Therefore, there is no universal list. However, the most high-end projects and residences allow us to understand the scope of the concept.
🛎 Concierge Service
Reservations, ticketing, travel arrangements, restaurants, events and special requests.
🧹 Housekeeping
Housekeeping, linen, laundry, ironing and daily maintenance of the accommodation.
🍽 Catering
Breakfast, private chef, in-apartment service or access to the establishment's restaurants.
💆 Spa & wellness
Swimming pool, fitness center, spa treatments, hammam, sauna and wellness areas.
🔐 Security
Permanent reception, access control, surveillance and staff presence.
🚘 Mobility
Valet parking, chauffeur, transfers and travel arrangements.
True luxury becomes availability.
The goal is no longer simply to have prestigious equipment, but to be able to obtain a service when needed, without having to organize a permanent home infrastructure oneself.
Maybourne Saint-Germain: the project that is changing the answer in Paris
This is currently the most important example for understanding the arrival of private residences associated with ultra-luxury hotels in the capital.
23 private residences in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés
The Maybourne Saint-Germain is to be located in the Saint-Germain block, between Boulevard Saint-Germain, Rue Saint-Dominique and Rue de l'Université.
The project will combine a 101-room and suite hotel with 23 ultra-luxury private residences.
Seven residences, located on rue Saint-Dominique, were designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. The other sixteen, on rue de l'Université, were designed by Laura Gonzalez.
The project is particularly interesting because it is not simply about apartments located near a luxury hotel.
The residences are integrated into a genuine hotel and residential project by the Maybourne brand.
It is this association between real estate ownership and ultra-luxury hospitality that fundamentally distinguishes a branded residence from a traditional apartment.
The project was also presented by Maybourne as the introduction of its first branded residences in Paris.
What will the owners of the Maybourne Saint-Germain be able to use?
The information published about the project gives an idea of the level of service sought.
Naturally, we will have to wait for the delivery and effective operation of the program to judge in detail the experience actually offered to owners.
But the principle is now clear: the resident owns their apartment while entering the operational world of an ultra-luxury hotel brand.
La Réserve Paris is already showing what life with palace services is like
In Paris, it is already possible to live temporarily in a real apartment while benefiting from extremely high-quality hotel services.
Apartments ranging from 140 to 300 m² with included services
La Réserve Paris Apartments, located at Place du Trocadéro, offers contemporary apartments ranging from approximately 140 to 300 square meters.
The advertised services include a dedicated butler, 24-hour concierge service, housekeeper, apartment maintenance, grocery shopping, breakfast, laundry and ironing.
Security and valet parking are also part of the experience presented.
But this example serves precisely to remind us of our distinction: this is a hotel residence intended for overnight stays.
It demonstrates what a palace-level service can be in an apartment, but should not be confused with a program of privately owned housing marketed for purchase.
Are there other apartments with hotel services in Paris?
Yes.
Maison Barnes Paris Trocadéro, for example, offers a five-star hotel residence consisting of a limited number of apartments.
The advertised services include 24-hour private concierge, daily housekeeping, in-apartment catering, laundry, permanent reception, transfers, chauffeurs, private chef and various personalized services.
The establishment describes its concept as a combination of the intimacy of a Parisian apartment and services inspired by grand hotels.
The concept already exists in Paris. What's changing today is ownership.
Hotel residences have demonstrated that an apartment can offer an exceptionally high-quality service experience. Branded residences are now applying this same principle to residential real estate sold to private owners.
Why is it not enough to buy an apartment near a luxury hotel?
Because proximity does not create any special rights regarding hotel services.
Owning an apartment on Avenue Montaigne, Rue Saint-Honoré or near a grand palace obviously does not mean that its owner automatically benefits from the spa, concierge service, room service or staff of the neighboring establishment.
He can, of course, purchase certain services separately, use a private concierge service, or employ staff.
But this model remains different.
The essential difference lies in the contractual, real estate and operational integration of services to the residence.
How much does a luxury apartment with services cost in Paris?
It would be premature to establish a "Parisian price" for branded residence: the market is still extremely limited.
The Maybourne Saint-Germain nevertheless gives a first order of magnitude of the targeted segment.
Professional information published in 2026 places certain sales of the program at levels far exceeding the standards of the traditional residential market.
The first seven residences on rue Saint-Dominique were marketed off-plan, with an average advertised value of over €50,000/m².
For the second phase, professional analyses suggest a positioning that could reach approximately €60,000 to €70,000/m² depending on the residences.
Please note: these are not general references for Paris.
These figures relate to a very specific ultra-luxury project in a Parisian market where the supply of branded residences remains minimal. Therefore, they do not represent an average or a new price per square meter in Paris.
This scarcity of supply also explains why the phenomenon deserves to be followed without extrapolating too quickly.
Are the services of a luxury hotel included in the purchase price?
Not necessarily.
This is a crucial point to consider before any purchase in a branded residence.
The purchase price of the property and the cost of running the services are two different issues.
Branded residence and traditional condominium: what's the difference?
In a traditional Parisian condominium, collective services generally remain limited: caretaker, concierge, security, maintenance and sometimes a few amenities.
In an ultra-luxury branded residence, the logic can go much further.
Residents no longer pay solely to maintain a building.
He is contributing to the funding of a service experiment.
Traditional building
Maintenance, caretaker, elevator, central heating and routine operation.
Assisted living residence
Enhanced reception, concierge service, security, housekeeping and additional services.
Branded residence
Services, amenities and residential experience associated with a recognized brand.
Why is this model appealing to international buyers?
For an owner who does not reside in Paris year-round, the question of property management can be almost as important as that of the address.
Arriving at a prepared apartment, having permanent security, arranging a transfer, dinner, shopping or maintenance of the accommodation greatly simplifies owning a pied-à-terre.
The model may also appeal to owners seeking a high level of service without wishing to employ a permanent domestic team themselves.
This is probably one of the strongest arguments for the assisted living model.
This logic naturally ties into our report on luxury pied-à-terres in Paris .
Will luxury serviced apartments become more common in Paris?
The movement is clearly underway, but the supply is expected to remain limited.
A Knight Frank study published in September 2026 indicates that up to fifteen funds and developers are currently studying Parisian opportunities to develop branded or serviced residences.
This obviously does not mean that fifteen programs will be launched.
Paris imposes strong constraints: scarcity of large suitable buildings, existing architecture, regulations, cost of transformations and the need to create significant common spaces.
Knight Frank specifically points out that few available buildings are large enough to properly accommodate this type of program.
Paris could therefore develop branded residences without trivializing them.
Perhaps that is precisely what will make them valuable: an extremely limited supply, in a city where creating large residential complexes with services remains particularly difficult.
We have dedicated an entire section to this development: why are branded residences arriving in Paris?
Key takeaway: Is it possible to buy an apartment with the services of a luxury hotel in Paris?
Yes, but the Parisian market is still only in its early stages.
Hotel residences like La Réserve Paris Apartments or Maison Barnes Paris Trocadéro already show how far the association between private apartment and hotel services can go.
The next step is to transpose this experience into homes actually owned by their residents.
This is precisely what the development of branded residences represents.
A concierge service, a pre-prepared apartment, a swimming pool, a spa, 24/7 security, and personalized services aren't necessarily visible in photographs. But they can profoundly transform the owner's daily experience.
In Paris, ultra-luxury real estate is therefore no longer measured solely in square meters, terraces or views.
It is also starting to measure itself in terms of services.
