LE 123 ELYSÉES

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 41, Haute Couture Hotel, Designed by Philippe Maidenberg.

• Hotel 123 is the 8th arrondissement’s latest rendez vous for haute couture style, put together by the talent of architect-designer Philippe Maidenberg. A kaleidoscope of catwalk materials, grained leather sits side by side with chain mail inspired by Paco Rabane dresses, while silk blends with velvet to inundate the rooms with colour - all to an original soundtrack composed for the Hotel. A melting-pot of styles and atmospheres makes this Boutique Hotel, with its feminine allure, a place where men feel good too. Infinite subtle details mark the beauty of the hotel’s decoration… The sparkling chandelier by Ombre Portée with over 3,000 Swarovski crystals, parquet floors and marble with inlaid fibre optics, a white feather lamp by Mat & Jewski, and red crystal heart-shaped sconces contribute to the hotel’s magic. Some rooms feature cut stone, others a four-post bed, and some bathrooms look out to a starry sky above a zinc roof… Some of the objects of Ligne 123, Philippe Maidenberg’s furniture range conceived for Hotel 123, include bar stools, the restaurant’s leather and chain mail tables, crystal wall lights (with Ombre Portée), bedside tables, headboards and desks. Curtain fabrics were also specially created--tailor-made, naturally--for this couture hotel.

• The imposing staircase, with its London-style red bricks, leads guests to the 41 rooms and suites, each with its own contemporary styling. Padded headboards sport colours including white, chocolate and copper. The decoration is elegant and innovative with architect’s desks, fluorescent glass tables, fringed curtains concealing cupboards, walls elegantly hung with fashion sketches, and Issey Miyake inspired drapes. The bathrooms are lined with Cordoue leather, English wallpapers and tiles in dark tones or, in contrast, light pink, fuchsia, yellow or white. The warmth of oak underfoot, cool, fresh linen and elegant colours make Hotel 123 a home away from home. The bar offers you breakfast, brunch, or a snack, including toasts and other surprises at any moment of the day. Quality cuisine that is light and creative.

• 123 Rue du Faubourg Saint Honoré in the 8th arrondissement, Paris. A stone’s throw from the Champs Elysées, the area is renowned for its couture houses, antique dealers, art galleries and fine restaurants. The perfect place for lovers of art and fashion.
