Hôtel Alexandre also known as Hôtel Soult is a hôtel particulier in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, France designed by French architect Étienne-Louis Boullée. The building was constructed from 1763 to 1766 and is the best surviving structure designed by Boullée. [1] [2]
The hôtel particulier was commissioned by André-Claude-Nicolas Alexandre, a French financer. Boullée began designing the building at age 35, making it one of his earliest projects. [2]
A mansard roof was later added to the building, replacing its original rooftop terrace.
The building was listed as a Monument historique on 4 November 1927. [3]
In 2001 the building was incorporated into the atrium of a contemporary office building designed by Delaage Tsiropoulos Architecture Carvunis Cholet to serve as the headquarters of Suez. [2]
