With its 82 rooms in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter, this four-star hotel is both historical and modern. The Grand Cœur Latin Hotel is a voyage through time: from the Roman remains known as the Arènes de Lutèce, via the Middle Ages to the philosophical debates of the 19th century, the past comes to life within these walls. Architect Vincent Bastie and interior designer Marie-Paule Clout have created a welcoming contemporary space that reflects the quintessential charm of the Latin Quarter. With its swimming pool, 50 ft long and 13ft wide, inspired by the Romans' thermal baths and built with full consideration, atop ancient architecture remains below, its hammam and treatment room, open-air terrace and bar, the Grand Cœur Latin Hotel is a destination - one that promises each guest a truly unique experience.
Rue Vivienne: that's where this brand-new hotel in Paris's 2nd arrondissement is anchored. Following in the footsteps of the Bourse and the Bibliothèque de France, Hôtel Filigrane, designed by Anne-Claire Majorel (Studio Majorel) and Sonia Lemagnen (Agence Vertical), is freely inspired by the treasures associated with these two institutions: figured banknotes for one, literate banknotes for the other. From vellum to velvet and other backdrops, the 43 rooms and suites of the Hôtel Filigrane unfold as graphic bundles of monochrome joy. Blue, black & white, red, bistre or green too, all are high on charm, chic and weave. Variable geometries from suites with balconies to connecting rooms, magnifying glass motifs, moiré effects, bathrooms with contrasting strokes: Hôtel Filigrane brings everywhere, between the lines, the impression of an enlightened contemporary haven. The motto of Hôtel Filigrane: relaxation. That's what the wellness area is all about, with its décor paving the way for a weightless respite.
