The Drouot Hotel, in the 9th arrondissement, dates back to June 1852, and is considered one of the oldest international institutions dedicated to public auction sales. It consists of 18 salesrooms, and acts as an umbrella for over 70 different auction houses.

Every working day the premises are open in the morning for visitors to walk through and inspect the various offerings, and in the afternoons there are auctions.
