The hôtel had numerous features that set it apart from the conventional Parisian "hôtel particulier" of the epoch: its "cour d'honneur" was completely enclosed from the street by a low range with a central door in an Ionic triumphal arch motif; its facade was concave, with a giant order of Corinthian pilasters, and with its wings it embraced an oval forecourt.
