For the first time ever, the Palais Garnier Opera in Paris, which inspired the record-breaking musical The Phantom of the Opera, will open its doors for a majestic stay. 

Véronique Leroux, the host of the stay and the great-granddaughter of French novelist Gaston Leroux, stated that “My great-grandfather’s classic story has inspired so many people through the years. This is the perfect time to honour him and welcome ‘phans’ to the famous setting of his much-loved novel for a once-in-a-lifetime stay.” she said.

The Box of Honor, which is the exclusive private viewing area in the theater, has been converted into a spectacular bedroom. Thereby, guests can spend an exceptional night befitting the mysteries and architectural grandeur of the Palais Garnier.

What’s more, visitors will also get to tour the iconic building, including a visit to the real underground lake, home of the Phantom which is featured in the novel.
