The Paris hotel whereKim Kardashian Westwasrobbed on October 3, is not really a hotel at all. It’s one of the world’s most exclusive private “hotel-residences,” and is available only to hand-selected A-listers too private for any hotel.
The property known as No Address Hotel (which in reality does have an address: 7 Rue Tronchet) is a historic private mansion, Hotel Pourtales, that was converted into luxury apartments with hotel-like accommodations in 2010. Prospective guests won’t find rooms or nightly rates on standard online booking sites, or even photos of the accommodations. Instead, those who wish to stay at the famously private property can book a stay of at least one week via a secure website that requires a passcode to access.
Kanye Westhas maintained a semi-permanent residence there since at least 2011, and Kardashian first visited in October of that year for West’s first fashion show. The hotel served as a staging point for his 2014 wedding to Kardashian, and the couple departed from the property the night of their pre-wedding celebration at Versailles.
In 2013, apartment prices ranged from 1,500–2,000 euros per night for a minimum one-week stay to 15,000 euros for the same period in the premier suite known as the Sky Penthouse, according to the same blog post.
Despite a focus on privacy — the blog notes that the property is not visible from the street and can only be accessed via a private entrance in a courtyard or a car elevator — a previous guest tells PEOPLE security around the building is somewhat lacking. “The security isn’t very much. As I recall, there’s a receptionist downstairs who buzzes you through the door in the courtyard and a nightman and that’s pretty much all you see of security.”
