Hôtel Drouot: your professional event at the heart of the art market in France

Since 1852, Hôtel Drouot has been the vibrant heart of the French art market. An institution dedicated to auctions, it is the only one in the world to bring together auction houses from different horizons in a single location. By the mid-19th century, it had become the largest physical art market in the world, offering connoisseurs an incredible diversity of works and collectibles.

This symbol of French excellence has established itself as the must-attend event for collectors and art dealers. It was at the Hôtel Drouot that the first sales dedicated to the masters of Impressionism, then emerging, or those devoted to the arts of Asia, Africa, and Oceania were held inthe 19th century. The Hôtel Drouot has been the scene of numerous historic sales, including the estates of some of the greatest artists and writers such as Edgar Degas, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Eugène Delacroix, Guy de Maupassant, André Derain, one of the founders of Fauvism, André Breton, leader of Surrealism, and Jacques Doucet, the couturier who brought Art Deco to prominence. More recently, Hôtel Drouot has distinguished itself with a series of major discoveries: a rediscovered Picasso, a previously unknown Renoir, an unpublished drawing from the Italian Renaissance, and a memento of Emperor Napoleon, all of which achieved exceptional results.

Privatize the Hôtel Drouot

Located in the heart of Paris, with its 2,000of space and 15 modular and spacious auction rooms, the Hôtel Drouot is the ideal venue for organizing large-scale professional events: art fairs, trade shows, exhibitions, seminars, conferences, breakfasts, cocktail parties, dinners, film shoots, and fashion shows. The Hôtel Drouot is designed to accommodate all types of scenarios and can be adapted to your specific needs thanks to its versatility: one or more rooms, an entire floor, or all of the establishment's public spaces can be privatized.

It also boasts state-of-the-art technical equipment, with sound, lighting, and video installations that can transform any space. Stage managers, security and maintenance staff, and a dedicated set design service ensure optimal organization and high-quality support.

To facilitate the logistics of your events, Hôtel Drouot provides private delivery bays, accessible from both inside and outside the building:

the workers are not friendly and frown at you if you don't speak French well :( they seemed to have a relatively big selection of items up for auction but I won't be going back

Great source for everything old, esp. furniture at often ridiculously low prices. And it's great theater. Best free entertainment in Paris. A museum with price tags.

A small and intimate space for a fashion show. The security staff needs some updates as organizing entry was hectic but afterwards they were quite helpful and courteous. For a small after party space, great for both mixing up and moving around for the drink and food service. All very eco-friendly.
