DESIGN TAKES UP
RESIDENCE AT THE HOTEL

For a long time, hotel rooms were sad. But today, the hotel is no longer just a place of transit. It’s a destination in itself, a creative laboratory where designers, architects, and artists re-enchant the travel experience.

The hotel becomes the journey. Apart from palaces and luxury establishments that have long developed collaborations with artists, many establishments follow their footsteps to tell stories to make you dream. Artists, designers, poets, and graphic designers now invite themselves into the rooms.

In this section, Le Dessous des Objets offers you a journey in France and around the world, discovering these new forms of hospitality. From simple decor to total re-enchantment, these places build a particular grammar around art, craftsmanship, and the great names of design.

From Philippe Starck who directs the Mama Shelter like a movie, to Hugo Toro who awakens aristocratic residences for Orient-Express, discover how interior architecture and furniture transform a simple stay into an immersive experience.
