Art on the Danube – Hôtel du Danube in Saint Germain des Prés

L'Art au Danube - Pierre Roy Camille - Hotel du Danube Paris

WHEN ART CHECKS INTO THE HOTEL

The Hôtel du Danube has welcomed numerous artists throughout its history. Located in the heart of the gallery district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the immediate vicinity of Paris's greatest museums and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, the hotel has always maintained close ties with various artistic practices. Each year, the Hôtel du Danube becomes the setting for a unique encounter between art and hospitality. We welcome an artist in residence, invited to take over one of our walls and freely express their vision. This project gives rise to an exhibition open to all, highlighted by a warm opening reception. A poetic way of bringing art into the heart of your stay, and of making our walls come alive to the rhythm of contemporary creation.

Additionally, on the last weekend of November each year, the hotel hosts the Paris Danube Print Salon — an exceptional, intimate gathering that brings together the finest international contemporary print publishers and studios.

Le Paris Danube Print Salon

This first edition, held from November 20 to 23, 2025, at the Hôtel du Danube, brought together 20 of the most prestigious publishers and printmaking studios in the world, offering a rare opportunity to explore and acquire original works by great contemporary artists. To highlight this intimate event, the hotel was fully privatized, transforming 20 rooms into elegant exhibition salons, creating the perfect jewel box for the displayed works.

The days were enlivened by enriching meetings and captivating discussions, led by the American art historian Ms. Susan Tallman, and iconic figures from the world of contemporary art publishing. These four days left a lasting impression on all participants and visitors.
