What people say

Paige Nichols

Available for hire

"Originally home to the high-society Ortiz-Basualdo family, this palace was designed by French architect Paul Pater and built in 1912. By 1925 it was used as the residence for Edward VII, Prince of Wales; the French government purchased it in 1939 to function as the country's embassy. After falling into disrepair by the 1970s, it was restored and spared of demolition. This is undoubtedly one of the city's most elegant palaces, reflecting the opulence and elegance of the late 19th century."
