Orso Hotels

What Orso Hotels does

Orso Hotels is a privately held Paris-based boutique hotel group founded by Anouk and Louis Solanet and operated under the legal entity SOLANET GESTION HOTELIERE (RCS Paris 513 176 636). The company operates a portfolio of 11 boutique hotels across multiple Parisian arrondissements (5th through 18th), organized into two collections: the Orso Collection of 4-star properties (Hôtel Rochechouart with 105 rooms, Hôtel Doisy, Hôtel Wallace with 45 rooms, and Hôtel Léopold) and the Colomba by Orso Collection of 3-star neighborhood hotels (Hôtel Ami, Hôtel Cabane, Hôtel Orphée with 44 rooms, Hôtel Folie, Hôtel Dalila, Hôtel Blanca). Each property features bespoke interior design from named architects and designers, including Festen, Hauvette & Madani, Gesa Hansen, Eloïse Bosredon and Marion Mailaender.

The business extends beyond accommodation into an integrated hospitality and lifestyle platform. F&B offerings include the Maggie restaurant and 100 m² Maggie Rooftop at Rochechouart, the Maggie Comptoir oyster and seafood bar, the Mikado Dancing late-night venue, and the Tuco Bar with rooftop terrace at Wallace. Revenue is generated across five streams: hotel accommodations, restaurants and bars, events and private hire (corporate events, seminars, weddings, birthdays across 7 addresses with capacities from 16 to 200 guests), branded merchandise (clothing, Colomba skincare line, survival kits) sold both directly and through an exclusive Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche partnership, and gift cards. Distribution is primarily direct via orsohotels.com, phone reservations and walk-ins, with targeted group and event sales handled through a dedicated sales function.

The go-to-market targets a hybrid segmentation spanning leisure travelers (weekend getaways, romantic escapes, cultural tourism), local Parisian patrons (dining, cocktails, brunch), corporate groups (seminars, team building, business meetings) and private event hosts (weddings, anniversaries). Marketing is driven by the @orsohotels Instagram channel, the company's website and earned media in publications including Condé Nast Traveller, Vogue, Le Figaro, GQ and Time Out. Orso Hotels is a founder-controlled private company with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company or subsidiaries, and operates with a lean headcount of 19 employees, with most operational roles embedded at the hotel properties.
