Pullman Paris Montparnasse

Pullman Hotels & Resorts is delighted to introduce the fresh new style of Pullman Paris Montparnasse, a 115-meter, avant-garde skyscraper designed by Pierre Dufau in 1972, and a landmark of modern architecture in the heart of Paris. The flagship property sits within a new complex and is part of a larger project that will revitalize the Montparnasse station (which handles more than 60 million commuters a year, transform the Montparnasse Tower (by 2024) and reconnect to the Gaîté quarter and its theatres.

Innovative architecture, vibrant design and immersive art

Design duo Benjamin Clarens and Yann Martin, founders of CUT Architectures, were commissioned to reimagine Pullman Paris Montparnasse as a modern, innovation-oriented place: they have dreamed up an open-plan environment that is decidedly different from the straight, linear architecture of the Montparnasse neighborhood. Their design vision has created concentric spaces, where areas intended to facilitate interaction alternate with places meant for relaxation. This approach is evident all around the hotel, from the lobby with its circular ceilings to the detail of the bedroom lights and the large structures in the hotel's Grand Ballroom.
To offer travelers dynamic opportunities for escape and inspiration, Pullman Paris Montparnasse will launch the Artist's Playground in 2022, one of the pillars of the Pullman brand: an immersive exploration of digital art. Alexandre Toledano, the founder of Visto, a company specializing in curating art within premium and luxury hotels, has assembled an engaging collection of work by contemporary international artists. The works are displayed on a series of screens throughout the hotel and reflect the neighborhood, its architecture, its daylight and nocturnal rhythms.

In addition to these screens, the property will feature other digital creations, such as a 40-meter outdoor fresco and 3D printed sculptures. The Artist's Playground and its installations constitute an astonishing art collection that will be continually refreshed.

The Power Fitness space: invigorating guests

In collaboration with London-based Bergman Interiors, specialists in well-being design concepts, and in partnership with Les Mills, Pullman Paris Montparnasse has opened a 200 sq m (2,150 sq ft) Power Fitness room. Kitted out with the most high-tech urban equipment, the wellness space is laid out as a crossfit studio with a mini athletics circuit, racks of weights, skipping ropes, punching bags and stationary bikes. To complete the concept, a spa will open in 2023.

Exceptional events facilities

The fourth floor of Pullman Paris Montparnasse, dubbed the Green Floor, features 15 meeting and conference rooms that open onto 800 sq m (8,600 sq ft) of private terraces lush with greenery. Thirteen of the meetings rooms are dubbed 'Green Rooms' with direct access to the outdoor terrace and the flexible Green Suite with executive lounge and dining. The Green Floor harmoniously combines work and well-being. The terraces are designed as urban gardens that encourage biodiversity and are an ideal space for relaxation. In addition to the Green Floor, Pullman Paris Montparnasse has also created 19 bedrooms on the upper floors of the hotel that can be converted into meeting rooms.

With 742 sq m (7,987 sq ft) of floor space and ceilings nearly seven meters (23 feet) high, Pullman Paris Montparnasse's Grand Ballroom is the perfect venue for celebrating all kinds of events: fashion shows, concerts, weddings, private parties, conventions and more. Beneath a ceiling of anodized aluminum mesh, with light structures that echo the concentric design of the lobby, the Grand Ballroom offers a stunning view over one of the city's most avant-garde architectural creations: the Maine-Montparnasse building.

On the program: French-style delicatessen specialties, offering a touch of modernity and an explosion of flavors; a banqueting menu; and, for private events and weddings, an option to tailor a bespoke package.

Strong commitment at every level

In order to optimize well-being at work, the hotel has invested in a new approach to cleaning, one with both social and environmental impact. Vapodil, an alternative, ecological cleaning solution, helps reduce water consumption by utilizing water vapor: for every liter of water Vapodil uses, 30 to 50 liters are required for a conventional clean.

In addition to the different training programs that were available in the build-up to the launch, every person who joins the company participates in a half-day training on climate change and the hotel's social and environmental ambitions, in order to ensure that employees understand and feel fully involved in the hotel's sustainability strategies.

Complementing these efforts, Executive Chef Rafael Casás and all his restaurant staff have introduced a far-reaching program to combat food waste. This is a mission that involves an investment of $3 million Euros in a MEIKO organic waste station connected directly to the restaurants' kitchens - a first for France -!; the development of a new "less is more" banqueting concept, which prioritizes a better way of measuring servings, so that quality takes precedence over quantity; and the establishment of a partnership with LINKEE, a platform for redistributing leftover food products to associations within a 30-kilometer (19-mile) radius of the hotel.

Pullman Paris Montparnasse has also committed to recycling more than ten types of waste products: organic waste, glass, cardboard, paper, plastic bottles, neon lights, lightbulbs, toner, aluminum, and batteries. Other activities that are a part of the hotel's drive to reduce waste include: using refillable product dispensers in all bathrooms; a drive to go paperless whenever possible; the fight against digital pollution; introducing a deposit system for packaging; the discontinuation of coffee capsules in common areas other than bedrooms; the removal of water bottles in meeting spaces; and the introduction of vegetarian alternatives in all food offers.
