Paris Hotel by Maison Martin Margiela

Anna Kidman - Saturday, July 23, 2011

 

Who better to revamp the existing La Maison Champs Elysees hotel than design house Maison Martin Margiela. With two historic buildings making up the one hotel, it's a hotel of material juxtapositions. Margiela plays with light and dark, with some suites embracing tranquil white, and others, settling on a moody black colour scheme. The hotel explain that their aim was for 'Maison Martin Margiela [to create] a theatrical environment where reality and trompe-l'oeil blend into a surreal atmosphere.' Equipped with 17 guest suites, a restaurant, a smoking bar, and reception area, we're guessing this will be on the hit list for fashionistas and design enthusiasts alike.
