After a two-year overhaul by French interior designer, Philippe Starck, Le Royal Monceau–Raffles Paris has been revitalized as a luxury art hotel with playful design flourishes at every turn. Poetry is etched into the floor panels, and written behind mirrors; acoustic guitars and sheet music have been thoughtfully placed in guest rooms; and the state-of-the-art 99-seat screening, Katara Cinema, room features a single crimson seat amid a sea of taupe leather chairs.
And art now plays a starring role throughout the hotel with the addition of an on-site contemporary art gallery, Arts District, whose exhibitions rotate quarterly; as well as an extensive art bookstore featuring more than 700 titles, and a private art collection featuring nearly 1,000 works, primarily of fine art photography.
Check in to suite 341 to view an elaborate photo montage by hyper-photographer, Jean-François Rauzier.
Le Royal Monceau–Raffles Paris is pleased to offer guests unparalleled access to Julie Eugène, the hotel’s dedicated art concierge, who is on hand to assist in creating custom art itineraries and one-of-a-kind experiences during your stay.
In addition to the calendar of art events published daily on her blog, Julie is available to orchestrate after-hours entry into the city’s top museums, or meetings with established local art collectors over afternoon tea. Should you wish to rendezvous with your favorite Paris-based artist, Julie can arrange a personalized studio visit at your leisure. Planning a day on property? Enjoy a private tour of the latest exhibition at Arts District, or a viewing of the hotel’s photography-driven private collection on display throughout the hotel.
