Art Basel Paris 2026: the Hôtel Artemisia, your charming address in Montmartre
To experience Art Basel Paris 2026 at the Grand Palais, the Hôtel Artemisia Montmartre stands out as a charming address ideally connected to the contemporary art fair. From 23 to 25 October 2026, the art market's unmissable event takes over the restored Grand Palais, and our 4-star hotel tucked away in the heart of Pigalle places you a short distance from the fair, in an Art Deco setting true to the creative spirit of Paris.
Between the international galleries of the Grand Palais, the installations scattered across the capital and the return to your elegant rooms, you will discover an art-filled week shaped by the comfort of a genuine art-de-vivre hotel. Picture your October evenings, back from the fair, in the hushed atmosphere of an establishment conceived as a work of art in its own right.
Art Basel Paris 2026: what awaits you at the Grand Palais
Art Basel Paris returns for its fifth edition at the Grand Palais, from 23 to 25 October 2026, with preview days on 21 and 22 October and an invitation-only première on 20 October. The fair brings together more than 200 galleries from over 40 countries and territories, spread across the Galeries, Emergence and Premise sectors. There you will find the very best of modern and contemporary art: painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video and digital creation.
The 2026 edition also marks a turning point, as it is the first under the direction of Karim Crippa. Beyond the halls of the Grand Palais, Art Basel rolls out a free public programme across the city, with exhibitions and installations in several of the capital's landmark venues, including the Petit Palais, which hosts the Conversations talks. The fair is the beating heart of Paris Art Week, that moment in October when the whole city tunes in to contemporary art. To enjoy it without constraint, choosing a central base changes everything.
From the Grand Palais to Montmartre: simple, fast access
Located on rue Fromentin, on the edge of the 9th and 18th arrondissements, the Hôtel Artemisia Montmartre combines the buzz of Pigalle with easy access to the major cultural sites of Paris. The Grand Palais, on avenue Winston-Churchill in the 8th arrondissement, is just 15 minutes away.
From Blanche metro station, a few steps from the hotel, line 13 takes you straight towards the Champs-Élysées area and the fair in barely a quarter of an hour. Those who enjoy walking can reach the Grand Palais on foot in 45 minutes, a pleasant stroll that crosses Paris from north to the Seine, while a bike gets you there in 15 minutes. After a day spent among the galleries, the return to Montmartre is direct, bringing you back to the calm of a neighbourhood that gave rise to so many artists.
Elegant rooms to extend the art experience
The Hôtel Artemisia Montmartre has 46 rooms designed in the spirit of the 1920s and 1930s, where Art Deco and Art Nouveau intertwine. After a day at Art Basel, it is a pleasure to return to a refined, soundproofed and air-conditioned room, fitted with high-quality bedding, free Wi-Fi and a flat-screen television.
From Classic rooms to the 35 m² Suites perched among the rooftops, each category has its own character. The Deluxe rooms offer a sitting area and a bathtub or walk-in shower, while the Suites reveal a view of the Eiffel Tower or the Sacré-Cœur and include a complimentary hour at the spa. For an art lover's stay, it is the promise of a setting that extends the aesthetic pleasure of the fair right into your room.
Hotel services: comfort between visits
A fair week is lived intensely, and the Artemisia gives you everything you need to recharge. In the morning, breakfast is enjoyed as a buffet at the Café Artemisia, as a continental option served in your room, or à la carte, with fresh produce and pastries. Just what you need to set off towards the Grand Palais with a spring in your step.
On your return, the hotel Bar, beneath its hexagonal dome, offers a carefully curated selection of cocktails, wines and champagnes in a chic, hushed atmosphere. Room service, available from 7am to 2am, accompanies the late evenings typical of art week. For a real break, the wellness area in the basement, with its pool and sensory shower, can be booked privately for an hour of relaxation. Finally, our e-concierge service makes booking your tickets and transport easy, a valuable asset when the schedule gets busy.
Montmartre, an artists' neighbourhood beyond Art Basel
Choosing the Artemisia also means treating yourself to Montmartre. The neighbourhood that inspired so many painters naturally extends the experience of a week devoted to art. A few minutes from the hotel, the Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur watches over the capital from the top of the hill, reached on foot or by funicular. The Place du Tertre and its painters, the Musée de Montmartre and its garden inspired by Renoir's Bal du Moulin de la Galette, the cobbled lanes of the 19th century: everything invites you to wander.
When evening comes, Pigalle reveals its energy, between theatres, bars and the legendary Moulin Rouge, a stone's throw from the hotel. Between two days at the Grand Palais, this contrast between the artistic buzz of the centre and the village charm of Montmartre gives your stay a distinctly Parisian flavour.
