Located 30 avenue George VAlmost opposite the Four Seasons and very close to the Prince of Wales, the hotel intends to establish itself as a new competitor on the Parisian palace scene with its elegant, but above all contemporary atmosphere.
The result of the metamorphosis of a building dating from the 1970s, this new hotel in the Triangle d'Or offers a setting designed by the Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, in line with the spirit of the Italian jewellery brand. The Bulgari Hotel Paris features 76 rooms, most of them suites with terracesAll have been designed as private flats, furnished with care and enhanced with works of art and portraits of celebrities close to the House of Bulgari. On the rooftop, the most emblematic of these rooms is a two-storey penthouseThe new building features 400 m2 of interiors and 600 m2 of outdoor spaces, with gardens and panoramic views over the capital.
When it comes to relaxation and dining, the hotel's offer is clearly outstanding, with its Italian restaurant, Il Ristorante, run by three-star chef Niko Romito. The spa is spread over 1300 m2 and two levels, and includes a 25-metre swimming pool, one of the largest among Parisian luxury hotels. There is also a fitness area equipped with the latest technology.
" We are particularly proud to add a French jewel to the Bulgari Hotels & Resorts collection with the opening of the Bulgari Hotel Paris." said Jean Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari. The hotel version of the jewellery brand, developed in partnership with Marriott, was already present in Dubai, London and Milan, Beijing and Shanghaiand Bali. Other projects are due to come to fruition soon, including Rome and Moscow in 2022, Tokyo in 2023 and Miami the following year.
As for in Los Angeles, it will have to wait until 2025 to discover a Bulgari hotel nestling in the hills of Santa Monica. VIP travellers will find elements in common with the Parisian establishment, including interior spaces designed by the brand's resident designers, Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, a table overseen by chef Niko Romito and a vast spa. The architecture of the building, designed by the South African firm SAOTA, will make way for 58 rooms - most of them bungalows - and 8 private residences ranging in size from 1,100 to 4,460 m2, all set in landscaped grounds designed by the Swiss firm ENEA, already at work on the Bulgari Beijing.
