Ornate columns, vaulted ceilings, marble staircases and fireplaces have been restored and blended with contemporary elements, while the original stained-glass windows and mosaic floors will be preserved to bear witness to the building&#8217;s heritage.<br \/>\nThe hotel will feature 91 stylish rooms, including 20 suites and two Extreme WOW suites in a contemporary, spacious design and a magnificent view of the Op\u00e9ra Garnier. In the rooms, unexpected elements have been created by Parisian artists especially for the W Hotel &#8211; Op\u00e9ra.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/w-hotel.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/w-hotel-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"w hotel\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-31864 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/w-hotel-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/w-hotel.jpg 788w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/218;\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClose to Galeries Lafayette, Place Vend\u00f4me and numerous cultural venues, the W Hotel &#8211; Op\u00e9ra also boasts its own Signature restaurant and bar, and a gym, while lounges and mezzanines are at guests&#8217; disposal, offering splendid views of the city.<br \/>\nTo mark the occasion, W Paris Op\u00e9ra is launching &#8220;The Switch&#8221;, its digital lifestyle magazine. Directed by Sarah Hay (journalist for The Times, GQ, Vogue and i-D), the magazine brings together articles, playlists, interviews and reporting on must-see Parisian events.
