The pictures below show larger views of this 1930 Paris France Grand Hotel Black & White Photograph. The first picture shows the entire photograph and the second picture shows a little closer view of all the store fronts or businesses at the street level. Many signs can be seen and read and many people can be seen as well. It looks like a very busy place in 1930 at this historic 1862 hotel. Written on the back is “PARIS 1930”. The photograph measures about 3-3/8'' x 4-11/16''. It appears to be in excellent or better condition as pictured.

The InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel is a historic hotel in Paris, France, opened in 1862.

History
Le Grand Hotel was built by the wealthy brothers Isaac & Émile Pereire and designed by Alfred Armand, who had previously designed the nearby Grand Hôtel du Louvre for them. Construction began in April 1861 and the hotel was inaugurated on 5 May 1862 by Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, before officially opening on 30 June 1862. The hotel's construction was part of the complete reconstruction of Paris supervised by Baron Haussmann at the time and it was built in the prescribed style, with a mansard roof. Filling an entire triangular city block, the hotel boasted 800 rooms on four floors for guests, with another whole floor for their servants. The hotel has hosted royalty throughout its long history, including Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra, King Edward VII of England and Queen Rania of Jordan. Victor Hugo hosted parties at the Le Grand Hotel and Émile Zola used the hotel for the setting of the death of his tragic character Nana. In 1869, James Gordon Bennett, Jr., publisher of the Paris Herald, the forerunner of the International Herald Tribune, met with Henry Morton Stanley in the hotel's Imperial Suite to convince him to make his famous journey to Africa in search of David Livingstone.

Creditors of the Péreire brothers seized the hotel in 1878 and in 1887 André Million formed Société du Grand Hôtel to manage Le Grand Hotel, along with the nearby Hotel Meurice and later the Hotel Prince de Galles. The Italian CIGA Hotels chain acquired the three hotels in 1972. CIGA sold the hotels in 1978 for $25 million to Limnico, a Liberia based subsidiary of Roger Tamraz's First Arabian Corporation. Limnico resold the properties for $55 million just a year later, in October 1979, to Maxwell Joseph's UK based Grand Metropolitan Hotels. Grand Metropolitan acquired the Inter Continental Hotels chain in 1981, and placed Le Grand Hotel under their management. The hotel was renovated between 1985 and 1990 by noted French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. In 1986, the hotel was renamed Le Grand Hotel Inter-Continental Paris.[ The hotel closed in December 2001 for another major renovation. Inter-Continental Hotels was reorganized as InterContinental Hotels Group while the hotel was closed, and it reopened on 5 April 2003 with its name modified slightly, InterContinental Paris Le Grand Hotel. InterContinental sold the hotel to Qatar based Constellation Hotels in 2014 for €330 million, though InterContinental continues to manage the property.
