Baroness Noémie de Rothschild (1888-1968) was a French philanthropist and property developer.
Noémie de Rothschild was born as Noémie Halphen on June 29, 1888 in Paris, France. She was the granddaughter of financier Eugène Péreire of the Sephardic-Jewish Péreire family of Portugal who were banking rivals of the Rothschilds.
Rothschild turned her hôtel particulier in Paris into a hospital during World War I. In 1916, she decided to develop a ski resort in France to avoid having to holiday alongside the Germans in St. Moritz, Switzerland. By 1919, she founded Société Française des Hôtels de Montagne.
Rothschild developed the Domaine du Mont d'Arbois, a luxury hotel in Mont d'Arbois near Megève in Haute-Savoie. It was completed in 1921.
She married Maurice de Rothschild, a banker and politician. They had a son, Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild. She died on March 15, 1968 in Paris.
