We’d expect no less of the art-loving owner and co-founder of label Zadig & Voltaire Thierry Gillier and artistic director – the interiors whizz behind Deselle Partners – Franck Durand (who also happens to be husband of Vogue France editor-in-chief Emmanuelle Alt), who collaborated on everything from the paint to the teaspoons. And, the 1940s-inspired deep-pile black carpet with gold bay leaves throughout – a bold visual signature. Instead you can sense it through luxurious finishes and tactile fabrics: handmade glazed ceramic tiles rich velvets and cottons in ochre, navy and coral varnished oak panelling sultry marble custom Art Deco lighting heirloom artworks. Our favourite roomsĬhicness is so ingrained here that the hotel doesn’t feel the need to yell about it from the rooftop. The Apartment has a furnished rooftop terrace too. In rooms: Smart flatscreen TV, Illy coffee machine, minibar, free WiFi, bathrobes and slippers, plug adaptors, air-conditioning. Small spa with a sauna and hammam, laundry service (charged), free WiFi. Further evidence of the hotel’s impeccable taste and attention to detail includes the lavish minibars (or rather ‘treat-filled larders’), the custom woody scent that wafts through the halls (created by a professional ‘nose’ for the hotel), the music by Gilliers’ son playing in the spa, and the dog-bed in the lobby, where you’ll sometimes see the manager’s French bulldog snoozing. The magnate has amassed many important pieces over the years, so you could have a Picasso or Cy Twombly hanging by your bed. The hotel’s pared-back aesthetic isn’t just to show off its eye for just-so style – it’s because it also makes the picks from Gillier’s personal art collection pop. Rates don’t usually include a Continental breakfast (€34 a guest), but guests do get a private 50-minute session in the spa (if it’s available) and a pastry of the day in their room. Please note the hotel charges an additional local city tax of €3.75 per person per night on check-in. Pricesĭouble rooms from £526.92 (€600), including tax at 10 per cent. Guests are welcomed in the bar, which adds to the ‘make yourself at home’ feel.
12 noon late check-out available up until 4pm for 50 per cent of the room rate, subject to availability.
