L’Hôtel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris, the Renaissance of an Art Deco legend, an exceptional Parisian address
The Hôtel du Collectionneur today announces its repositioning and reaffirms its determination to establish itself as a benchmark luxury hotel in Paris. By reclaiming its original name, the hotel is reconnecting with its history as a place where luxury and refinement rub shoulders with culture and art.
Le choix du Nom : In 1925, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, the great French artist and designer of the 1930s, created a magical place for an imaginary collector at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs. In so doing, he helped spread the Art Deco movement throughout the world. The name of this hotel, “L’Hôtel du Collectionneur”, reflects the spirit, energy and vision of the place, inherent in the values of this exceptional hotel… A legendary name, from which the hotel draws its inspiration and decoration. It’s to bring back to life the history of the place and its unique spirit that the hotel has taken back its mythical name.
In 2004, in the image of the hotel imagined by Ruhlmann in 1925, Stanislas Fiszer, Jacques Garcia, Alexandre Danan and Olivier Riols, renowned architects and decorators, co-designed and decorated L’Hôtel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris. From the rooms to the garden and the lobby, each detail tells a story through the evocation of a rare material (Rio rosewood and inlays for bedroom doors, Macassar ebony, ceramics, amaranth, shagreen-printed walls, gold-leaf frescoes), a motif inspired by an original drawing, the presence of a work of art or a piece of furniture acquired at auction. L’Hôtel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris celebrates the triumph of luxury in a spirit that is both inventive and respectful of the past.
A true tribute to the luxurious transatlantic liners of the 1930s, which served as bridges between Old Europe and the New World, L’Hôtel du Collectionneur Arc de Triomphe Paris is organized around a central garden: the Andalou Garden, surrounded by art deco facades and bordered by a glass pergola, which is an invitation to stroll and is one of the hotel’s curiosities. The effect of perspective and height necessary to any building referring to this era is magnified by the presence of a monumental staircase, modelled on the grand companionway of historic liners, at the center of the hotel, with a panoramic view of the Andalusian Garden.
