HOTELS & DESIGNERS
HERE AND ELSEWHERE

Luxury hospitality and boutique hotels are now transforming into true art galleries and architectural manifestos. Across the world, creators are pushing the boundaries of hospitality to offer unique experiences.

Must-visit Parisian addresses

Hôtel Lutetia (45 Bd Raspail, 75006 Paris): A historical emblem of the Left Bank built in 1910, it reopened in 2018 after a renovation orchestrated by Jean-Michel Wilmotte. Soon to be renamed Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, this palace blends history and modernity.

Le Royal Monceau – Raffles (37 Av. Hoche, 75008 Paris): Entirely revisited by Philippe Starck, this palace reinvents the codes with its private cinema, art bookstore (a first in France), and collection of 300 artworks.

Hôtel des Académies et des Arts (15 Rue de la Grande Chaumière, 75006 Paris): Street art pioneer Jérôme Mesnager and sculptor Sophie de Watrigant created a whimsical universe where famous little white beings dance.

Hôtel du Petit Moulin (29-31 rue de Poitou, 75003 Paris): Fashion designer Christian Lacroix transformed Paris’s former oldest bakery into a jewel of vibrant colors.

Citizen Hotel (96 Quai de Jemmapes, 75010 Paris): Sleek design by Christophe Delcourt, mixing custom furniture and contemporary art by the Canal Saint-Martin.

Pavillon des Lettres (12 rue des Saussaies, 75008 Paris) & L’Apostrophe Hotel (3 Rue de Chevreuse, 75006 Paris): One imagined by Didier Benderli around the alphabet, the other by Sandrine Alouf around literature, both celebrating the poetry of words.

The European Avant-Garde
