Hôtel de Pourtalès


The Hôtel de Pourtalès is a historic hôtel particulier located at 7 rue Tronchet in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France. It was designed by architect Félix Duban and built in 1839 for James-Alexandre de Pourtalès, a Swiss-born banker and art collector. It has been listed as an official historical monument since September 17, 2002.

The building is now operated as a luxurious apartment hotel. In October 2016, reality TV personality Kim Kardashian reported that she was held at gunpoint and robbed of valuable jewelry by a group of assailants who gained access to her suite in the building.
