Category : Culture
This autumn, Paris welcomes back one of its major artistic events. From October 23 to 25, 2026, Art Basel Paris takes over the Grand Palais for three days dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the capital through creativity and culture, just a few minutes from Hôtel Olysée.
More Than 200 Galleries Gathered at the Grand Palais
For its fifth edition, Art Basel Paris brings together 211 exhibitors from 41 countries and territories beneath the spectacular glass roof of the Grand Palais.
Painting, sculpture, photography, installations and new media: the fair offers visitors the chance to discover both internationally renowned artists and emerging voices from the global art scene.
The fair is organised around three main sectors. Galeries brings together established galleries, Emergence highlights young artists and emerging galleries, while Premise presents curated projects creating dialogues between different periods in art history.
Art Basel also extends beyond the Grand Palais. Its Public Program features installations and artistic projects across several iconic locations in Paris.
Experience Art Basel from Hôtel Olysée
Located at 7 rue du Colisée, close to the Champs-Élysées, Hôtel Olysée enjoys an ideal location for making the most of this major week in the Parisian art calendar.
Just a few minutes’ walk will take you to the Grand Palais through one of the capital’s most elegant neighbourhoods. After visiting the fair, continue towards Avenue Montaigne, with its galleries and prestigious fashion houses, or enjoy a stroll along the Champs-Élysées.
With its 31 rooms and contemporary, intimate atmosphere, Hôtel Olysée offers a welcoming retreat after a full day of exhibitions.
Combining contemporary art, architecture and Parisian cultural life, Art Basel Paris 2026 is an excellent opportunity to rediscover the 8th arrondissement this autumn.
