This very special establishment owes its fame to a historic object that it houses, one of the very first hydraulic elevators ever designed. A true infallible technological innovation in its time, it still works today and is waiting for you.

This was the last game of our Paris/Geneva trip and it really ended on a high. Such great story telling and some clever devices used that became apparent at the end.
The room follows similar patterns of experience to Athens but I would say in a less intense way. However when it is used, it’s used in great effect. Love that they have videos you can take up after, I think it is worth the extra as a keep sake. Definitely recommend playing this room.
This was life changing.
Our host (Bindi?) was absolutely incredible and made the experience so dramatic and theatrical. The whole storyline is well, out of this world. I've done over 300 rooms at this point and this was my favourite, with no hesitation!

The Grand Hotel de Paris was a fun horror game that had some really fun moments and great live actor interactions. Is this a must play in Paris? Yes, yes it probably is. We’ve played horror games in Athens which is known for its live actor horror games, and I think that although it’s perhaps a little lighter on scares and puzzles, it could hold its own against those games.
As the saying goes, save the best for last! That’s exactly what we did—ending our three-day adventure in France with the two most talked-about new rooms: THE TAXIDERMISTE by Deep Inside and LE GRAND HÔTEL DE PARIS by The One Escape. Our journey truly culminated with unforgettable experiences in both, but nothing prepared me for the last room.
I’ll admit, I had certain expectations for the Grand Hôtel de Paris—and they couldn’t have been more off the mark. The surprise was all the sweeter. I never imagined stumbling upon a French horror escape game that could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the famed blockbusters of Greece or Spain.
We found ourselves playing the part of invited guests at the illustrious Grand Hôtel de Paris, a glamorous and storied venue where movie stars, politicians, and celebrities of decades past once gathered. The hotel’s historic charm shines, particularly with its beautifully preserved hydraulic elevator—one of the earliest of its kind, still functioning as a testament to the building’s innovative spirit.
