Painting, literature, sculpture or even haute couture, inspire many Parisian establishments. What could be more natural for the capital of arts and creation?

Some Parisian hotels pay tribute to the abundance of culture that has always characterized Paris. Behind each door of Le Secret de Paris - Hotel & Spa is a monument, delicately suggested by Sandrine Alouf, using a particularly evocative detail, an architectural or design reference, a legendary object (a 'French Cancan' dancer, the roofs of Paris, an inverted clock, etc.). The Hôtel de Berri, part of the Luxuxry Collection, embodies the Parisian art of living, combining elegance and authenticity. Nestling in a 3,000m² garden, it celebrates the great names of the decorative arts in a refined tribute to Paris's artistic heritage. At the Belgrand Paris Champs Élysées, part of the Tapestry Collection by Hilton, art is everywhere. The artworks are not confined to the rooms, but also embellish the lobby, creating a refined and inspiring atmosphere. Le Pavillon des lettres devotes each of its guest rooms to a great author. Quotations printed on the walls, works available for guests to read and elements of decor inspired by the world of letters. The Hôtel du Triangle d’Or for its part is devoted to music. The six floors of the establishment make reference to six renowned musicians and singers through objects, photographs and instruments.
More than a tribute to artistic heritage, some hotels can be considered as works of art themselves. For the Hôtel du Petit Moulin, the designer Christian Lacroix was inspired by the world of haute couture to decorate the 17 guest rooms.
Twenty-six letters of the alphabet for 26 bedrooms and suites: welcome to the Pavillon des Lettres, Paris’s first literary hotel. Whether dedicated to Baudelaire, Diderot, Flaubert, Goethe, Hugo, Kafka, Musset, La Fontaine, Shakespeare or Tolstoy, the bedrooms pay tribute to a poet or a writer with a decor which takes its inspiration from their creative world. Evoking dreams, poetry and the imaginative world of the night, printed quotations decorate the walls, inviting guests to read and dream.
The decorator Didier Benderli wanted to combine the words of authors with decorative works. A dialogue is thus created between what is written and the sculpture and paintings represented.
