If the art of welcoming at the PLAZA ATH\u00c9N\u00c9E has greatly evolved in the last\u00a0ten years, it is thanks to Fran\u00e7ois Delahaye and Laurence Bloch, who fulfill their\u00a0roles as hosts wonderfully. They wanted to transform this classic hotel into the\u00a0Palace of tomorrow!<\/p>\n
I designed a d\u00e9cor that took inspiration from the 18th century, revisited! Of the first\u00a0six floors, only the two top floors are the most modern, featuring a decor inspired\u00a0by Art Deco.<\/p>\n
The decor of the rooms lends them a warm and welcoming quality; the clients\u00a0feel at home! The rooms and especially the suites have been designed as if they\u00a0were private apartments; they have all been personalized.<\/p>\n
The materials used are all rich and luxurious. The fabrics are of silk, and many of\u00a0the details, such as the cushions, have been embroidered with the emblem of the\u00a0Hotel Plaza Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e. We avoided floral fabrics because we found them too old-fashioned; instead, I prefer swaths of silk gathered in shimmering colors infused\u00a0with grays and refined beiges. Many of the paintings and works of art are flecked\u00a0with these shades.<\/p>\n
Only the renovated bathrooms bring a touch of modernity with their brightness.\u00a0The marbles we selected are clear, and the play of the gilt mirrors creates a\u00a0charming sense of perspective.<\/p>\n
The Haute Couture universe that characterizes Avenue Montaigne speaks\u00a0through each of these details.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
