L’Hotel du Collectionneur
Art Hotel
The aptly named L’Hotel du Collectionneur is located a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe and just next to the upscal Parc Monceau. is hotel is all about the art, expressed in a glorious Art Deco style, revisiting the ‘20s and the ‘30s. Interestingly, the hotel is situated in the 8th arrondissement of the city, which has always been the hub of the French capital’s art scene, with homes of collectors, art galleries and grand mansions. As soon as you set foot inside L’Hotel du Collectionneur, you will be transported to the golden era of transatlantic steam liners, with its resemblance to the deck of a ship and use of precious materials such as exotic woods, ceramics and jade green granite. e lobby itself is like a treasure trove of world-famous artworks with pieces from the likes of Ruhlmann, Armand-Albert Rateau, Edgar Brant and Erté, the highlight being the stunning Martel sculpture at the heart of the lobby. e hotel features 478 rooms, across di erent categories (many of which boast sweeping views of the Ei el Tower and the city around).
e rooms are designed in keeping with the steam liner theme, and an Art Deco spirit — ebony furniture, rich linen and characteristic Art Deco motifs dot the space. Parisian chic meets vintage glamour at the hotel’s Purple Bar, with its elegant decor, retro-inspired furniture and extensive cocktail menu. e hotel also lends itself very well to meetings and events with di erent spaces, which can accommodate up to 650 people.
