HOÌ‚TEL DE BERRI, PARIS
True, Paris hardly needs another luxurious hotel but every city, we believe, deserves something like HoÌ‚tel de Berri. The Luxury Collection hotel, part of Marriott International, is located on the historic rue de Berri in the fashionable eighth arrondissement, a short walk away from Champs-EÌlyseÌes and Parc Monceau in the heart of the Triangle d’Or shopping district. Previously a 1970s office building, the hotel sits on the site of what was formerly the the residence of Princesse Mathilde Bonaparte and legendary couturier Elsa Schiaparelli.
The reimagined space exudes a unique atmosphere and timeless elegance, with eclectic, refined and bold interiors that pay tribute to 20th century French decorative arts. The individually decorated 75 rooms – 35 of which are suites – are engaging yet homely, replete with vibrant colours, paintings and antique furniture.
The Italian restaurant Le Schiap – apropos the address’ former occupant – fittingly features a large fresco celebrating Parisian joie de vivre, while the bar, Le Bizzaz, is a highlight of Neoclassical reliefs and craft cocktails. Le Bizzaz also overlooks the hotel’s private garden, a miraculously preserved 3,000 sq m landscaped garden. A calm and cool oasis in an urban setting, Hôtel de Berri is pet friendly as well – just something else to love it for.
