Hotel Observatoire Luxembourg, Paris

Whilst reporting on assignment at Maison et Objet in Paris, Deputy Décor Editor Gera Smuts stayed at the Observatoire Luxembourg hotel in the Latin Quarter, an area filled with iconic monuments and institutions like the Pantheon and Sorbonne. 

Taking its name from the proximity of the Luxembourg gardens, the hotel – designed by Alexandre Danan – is a contemporary space nevertheless inspired by classic designs. After a long day there is no better place to relax than in the intimate lobby, where oak and stone, accented with red, create a calm and comfortable environment. The period staircase and wooden spiral ramp to the upper floors are particularly striking features of the hotel.

In the rooms, Danan played with proportions, symbols and contrasts. Black ebony headboards inlaid with mirrors combine with more classic features to create spaces that are both sober and playful. All rooms have an original and unique view of Paris, some overlooking the private garden of the Luxembourg Gardens.

Hotel Observatoire Luxembourg is dedicated to comfort and privacy, and with its excellent location, you need look no further for the perfect place to stay in this beautiful city.
