History
editIt was built as a hotel for Sir Thomas-Robinson Woolfield from 1852 to 1856 on behalf of Lord Londesborough.[1] Lord Londesborough later sold it to his relative, Marquess Conyngham. It was purchased by Marquis de Morès (later Duke de Vallombrosa) in 1860, who added a chapel and a landscaped garden.[1] In 1893, it was purchased by German hotelier Martin Ellmer, and it became known as the Hotel du Parc until 1934.[1] It was subsequently turned into a residential building with individualised apartments. It has been listed as a Monument historique since 1993.[1]
