TYPE OF ROOMS

The Apartment:

N.62 Cardinal

An apartment with a terrace overlooking the roofs and belfry of Saint Germain des Prés. The splendid portrait of a cardinal was the starting point for the furnishing of the suite with its magnificent purple curtains.

The Junior Suites:

N.40 Loti

A cornice with arabesque motifs, an oriental carpet, Fortuny lamps, Ottoman-inspired wall hangings and Turkish, Syrian and Moroccan furniture...a journey into the land of the Arabian Nights.

N.50 Saint Petersburg

An atmosphere redolent of an upper-class 19th century house as described by Tolstoy. A marvellous silk carpet and a picture bearing the signature Raffaeli.

N.60 Charles X

The 6th floor houses this beautiful suite furnished throughout with items from the Charles X period. One amusing detail is the wooden frame of an Empire bed used as an alcove for the bathtub.

Deluxe room and suite:

N.16 Oscar Wilde

This very spacious room has a bow window opening onto a beautiful new terrace. On the walls a huge emerald green fresco featuring phoenixes has been reconstructed based upon an engraving depicting Wilde's dining room in London. Traditional English furniture with an impressive bed-head decorated with swans. A few framed reminder letters indicate that Oscar Wilde really did stay here, even though he was never able to settle his bill!
In addition, an "ultra-British" bathroom with mahogany panelling and a spectacular array of English fittings.

N.26 Marco Polo

Cornette de Saint Cyr at the Hotel Drouot auctioned the furniture: impressive imperial seats, wooden bed panels, and gigantic porcelain vases...

N.36 Mistinguett

The bed, the dressing table and its clock as well as the stools designed by Jean-Gabriel Domergue used to belong to Mistinguett and furnished the bedroom of her house at Bougival. The walls are in trompe-l'oeil shagreen, a material that was very highly prized in the Thirties. To complete the Art Deco decoration Lalique sconces and drip-pans were picked up at salesrooms.

N.44 Roi de Naples

Furniture in the style of the French Restoration period with a royal canopy over the bed.

N.54 Reine Hortense

The daughter of Joséphine de Beauharnais, the stepdaughter of Napoleon and the wife of the king of Holland (the emperor's brother), gentle Queen Hortense was unswervingly devoted to her Paris mansion. A small sitting room adjoining her bedroom was completely lined with thick loose hangings in soft colours with a ceiling shaped like the roof of a tent. In this luxurious room with a terrace Garcia creates a harmonious reinterpretation of Hortense's charming boudoir.

Rooms side court:

N.14 Barroco

As its name suggests, flamboyant Italian Baroque.

N.24 Pondichéry

With its purple and gold hangings, its Indo-Chinese furniture and its twin beds with canopies, this room is a miniature replica of a guest bedroom at the Château de Champs de Bataille which belongs to Jacques Garcia.

N.34 Pompéienne

An ancient Roman atmosphere with a splendid sun mirror above the bed.

N.42 Les quatre éléments

The room again owes its name to the wallpaper depicting...the four elements! There is also a splendid antique travelling writing desk.

N.52 Rues de Paris

This room owes its name to the wallpaper lining its walls, inspired by the old engravings of the monuments of Paris. Hanging on the walls are paintings of Paris by Biscot et Carles.

N.10 Mme de Merteuil

An exquisite 18th century boudoir with a damask canopy over the bed.

N.12 Léopard

The original 'leopard' room lined throughout with material of the same name was always very popular with the Hotel's quests. Jacques Garcia has reinterpreted the style with a more 'back to Africa' ambiance.

N.20 Napoléon III

Pure Napoleon III furniture with two tables designed by Sormani. An enormous mirror of the type known as 'à l'angelot' is positioned above the bed.

N.22 Pagode

Mouldings made of bamboo, antique Japanese furniture, one wall and the bed covered with red damask.

N.30 Venise

The gold of the bed, the gold of the Italian armchair, the heavy damask gold and red fabrics and even the painting of the lagoon; all reflect the exuberance of the Venetian Republic.

N.32 Violet le Duc

Hung throughout with purple Genoese velvet with marvellously faded hues and with furniture that is mediaeval in inspiration, this room is a tribute to the neo-Gothic fashion that was all the rage in the 19th century.
