It is the largest hotel in Paris and consists of the northern part of Paris's Palais des Congrès, one of the city's convention centers. It contains more than 1,000 hotel rooms.

The hotel's location was formerly a free space, hosting Amusement parks during the summer. After World War II, temporary buildings had been quickly built there in order to host some services from French ministries. In 1960, facing the international boom in tourist and congress activities, the Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie and the Tourism Committee decided to build a convention center on the site.

The selected architects were Henri Guibout, Serge Maloletenkov and Yves Betin. During that study, it was decided to build a large luxury hotel near the congress hall. The tower is the third-tallest inside the city of Paris (which does not contain the La Défense business district). A tall spire of 53 meters has been displayed on its roof.
