The Hôtel Lambert in Paris was designed by Louis Le Vau for the financier Jean-Baptiste Lambert, who died in 1644. His younger brother Nicolas Lambert, later president of the Chambre des Comptes, continued the project. The page gives 1640 to 1644 and has no infobox.

The article describes mid-17th-century domestic architecture, with a central square courtyard and a rear wing enclosing a walled garden. Charles Le Brun, François Perrier and Eustache Le Sueur decorated the interiors. It names only a wooden structure as a material, which later needed restoration, and gives no dimensions or style label.

Prince Adam Jerzy Czartoryski bought it in 1843, and his circle became a Polish émigré political faction. It was sold to Baron Guy de Rothschild in 1975 and to Prince Abdullah bin Khalifa al-Thani in 2007. A fire damaged part of it during renovation in 2013. It was sold to Xavier Niel in 2022. The article gives no visiting arrangements.
