History

The hotel was designed by architect Pierre Dufau and opened in 1974 as the Paris-Sheraton Hotel. In 1982 it was sold to the Swiss-based Nova-Park Hotels chain and renamed Montparnasse Park Hotel. The Nova-Park chain went bankrupt soon after, and the hotel became Le Meridien Montparnasse on 1 July 1986.[2] In 2010, the owners, Unibail-Rodamco, switched management to Accor Hotels and the hotel became the Pullman Paris Montparnasse Hotel on 11 January 2011.[3] The hotel closed on 31 August 2017[4] for renovations,[5] which included the addition of a roof terrace. It was set reopen in May 2020,[6] but the reopening was postponed to 27 December 2021,[7] due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The building also hosts an important bowling and pool hall.
