Hotel Bellechasse

Five months ago we closed the hotel Bellechasse, turning the page on its past so we could begin the large-scale building work that will transform it into a hotel of luxury and charm, prestigious and intimate at the same time. A custom-made hotel, in surroundings already very "couture", right in the middle of Faubourg St Germain district, whose aristocratic elegance inspired Proust. with a wealth of famous antique dealers and the Orsay Museum, facing the Louvre, with several government Ministries, the Chamber of Deputies, the “Quai d'Orsay” ( French Foreign office) and the embassies. It represents arts – from literature to painting, including design, music, theatre, cinema – with its modern and contemporary art galleries, its exhibition halls, its bookshops, and so many places emblematic of the pleasurable Parisian way of life : cafés, shops, restaurants where tradition meets with the modernist. We are inviting you to share in the carrying out of this project by following each stage as it progresses, the changes that take place and to start with the inspiration we hope you will find below. These various atmospheres are going to become clearer progressively, evolve, take shape and finally welcome you.

The rooms looking onto the street will be more contemporary, mildly blurring the way from the apartment to the bathrooms with scattered mirrors. The rooms looking onto the courtyard should be more classic, country style like (with pastel colour). On the ground floor, the conservatory opening on to the patio with spaces of activities blending with the pastels, and dark lacquer from the cosy lounges. while the rooms on the upper floor should be then most "futuristic", under the upside-down hull of a ship formed by the roofs (large-scale sketch). As to the walk way, we imagine it both soft ( with rounded partitions) and graphic( with geometrical pattern), the whole area scattered with red color
