The Luxury Collection announces the opening of Hotel de Berri in Paris

Located steps from the Champs-Elysees and the prestigious Triangle d’Or Fashion District, Hotel de Berri, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Paris Celebrates ‘Art De Vivre’ in the City of Light.

BETHESDA, MD. – The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott International, Inc., announced the grand opening of Hotel de Berri, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Paris. Owned by the Dokhan family, Hotel de Berri offers eclectic, bold and refined designs devoted to the Parisian way of life. Meticulously styled by designer and artistic director Philippe Renaud, Hotel de Berri features 75 guestrooms, including 35 suites, as well as Italian restaurant Le Schiap and cocktail bar Le Bizazz. The hotel's preserved 3,000 square metre landscaped garden is a precious legacy of the building's illustrious past.

Situated on Rue de Berri, one of the most sought-after addresses in Paris that has been home to aristocrats, royals and prominent leaders in French society since the 19th century, Hotel de Berri draws inspiration from the trailblazers of the French Decorative Arts period including painters, designers and stylists from Coco Chanel to Salvador Dali, with interior designs reflecting the "Art de Vivre" ethos made famous in the heart of Paris. Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the property was a private mansion for luminaries including Princess Mathilde and fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, Hotel de Berri today aims to tell its storied history through the design of its rooms and public spaces.

"As one of the world's most desirable destinations, Paris continues to be the global epicentre of art, culture, gastronomy and fashion," said Anthony Ingham, Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection. "Hotel de Berri embodies sophistication and glamour, and opens doors to exceptional cultural offerings, for which The Luxury Collection is known. We are thrilled to welcome global explorers to enjoy a truly indigenous Parisian experience."

Following the demolition of the property's private residences at 18, 20 and 22 Rue de Berri, including the home once inhabited by fashion designer and 1930's icon Elsa Schiaparelli, a vast office building designed by architect and city planner Maurice Novarina was constructed on the site. This unique building reveals an expressive, dream-like Parisian world within.

"Hotel de Berri is the only Parisian hotel to feature a Novarina facade," said Philippe Renaud, who was adamant that the facade be preserved in its entirety. "This unassuming and neutral exterior, spanning 54 metres in length, is the gateway to a magical interior full of aesthetic paradoxes. From surfaces to colours and textures, the curious and quirky design elements of Hotel de Berri are a deliberate step away from traditional hotel design."

Wisdom, eclecticism and humour are common threads that run throughout the design of Hotel de Berri. The Dokhan family, together with Philippe Renaud, have carved out several different decorative themes and ambiances that present vibrant colours, detailed parchments, ancient Chinese furniture, wrought-iron lamps, sketches and paintings.

Hotel de Berri's guest rooms and suites are divided into six categories: Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, Signature Suites, Prestige Suites, Berri Suites and the Suite Parisienne. Marble bathrooms feature heated flooring, Skinjay aromatherapy showers, TOTO toilets and luxury Diptyque products. Throughout, the hotel showcases elite pieces of Parisian art and interior design. Giacometti, Jean-Michel Frank, Madeleine Castaing, Henri Samuel and David Hicks are just some of the featured artists. The interiors also include subtle references to fashion designers such as Jeanne Lanvin, Marie-Laure de Noailles, Coco Chanel and, naturally, Elsa Schiaparelli, to whom this address was home for forty years. 

The Suite Parisienne, in all its neo-antique glory, is Hotel de Berri's Presidential Suite, boasting 115 square metres. The three Berri Suites, each spanning over 100 square metres, use similar references to illustrious previous owners and visitors, allowing for a new discovery around every corner.

From the Sculpture Room, to the vast Suite Parisienne, and from Le Schiap restaurant to Le Bizazz cocktail bar, Hotel de Berri offers a timeless sanctuary for international travellers and local Parisians alike.

The tone is set on arrival with a dramatic entrance hall where one's eye immediately notices the grandeur reminiscent of a royal residence. From there, guests proceed to the Sculpture Room, populated by statues, busts and sculptures, some of which originate from the castings workshop at the Louvre. Considered the social hub of the hotel, the Sculpture Room features creative culinary offerings. The forty vintage fireplaces found throughout the property further the feeling that the hotel is an eclectic, Parisian residence.

Helmed by Executive Chef Michele Dalla Valle, Hotel de Berri's signature restaurant, Le Schiap, presents approachable Italian cuisine in a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. Featuring seasonal ingredients and unique specialty dishes, the Le Schiap's menu combines Italian flavours with French classicism. The restaurant is flanked by an expansive mural by artist and illustrator Hippolyte Romain who paints his own unique perspective of Paris and pays homage to the city's high society of days gone by in this magnificent piece of work.
