Paris loves to show off and Le Royal Monceau is by far one of the most impressive hotels n the city of lights. This is a hotel with a fantastic location and a long historical past, but the latest reinterpretation is reimagined by Philippe Starck, whose creations sometimes transcend time and become classics.
In Le Royal Monceau, Philippe Starck has created a classic.Two years after a crazy ‘demolition party’ in history, Paris Royal Monceau is the place to stay.The location itself is a winner five minutes from Arc De Triomphe and Champs-Elysées.
The entry to Le Royal Monceau is show-stopper, from the six doormen to the first hint of the the luxury interiors are somehow magical, it really works perfectly.The hotel distinguish itself by te commitment to art, it has its own gallery, which was opened with a Basquiat show, a selection of works from Enrico Navarra’s collection.
For Philippe Starck “Le Royal Monceau has nothing to do once again, with the architecture or the decoration, it has to do with an exploration. The exploration of what is, of what should, of what could be the French spirit. Our strengths, our faults, that poetry, that romanticism, that reflection, those high-level critical spirits that kill or that qualify. The creation of a mental space in a place that replaces decoration; where there’s the mind instead of aesthetics, literature instead of style. Creating a full space; of a life, of a memory, of a passage as if the air were vibrated by music, as if the air was palpable because of a perfume, as if the air of a room became legible through the evocation of the spirit of a person who lived there and who would have left his souvenirs, his gifts, his memoirs.”
