Bulgari to open new luxury hotel in Paris
Luxury Italian brand Bulgari has announced plans to open a new hotel in Paris bringing there current portfolio of luxury hotels to eight. The first Bulgari Hotel was opened in Milan in 2004 with hotels now located in Bali, Shanghai, London, Beijing, Dubai & Moscow.
The new prestigious hotel will be located at 30 Avenue George V, in the heart of the city’s luxury shopping and entertainment hub between the Champs-Élysées and Avenue Montaigne, one of the most exclusive and most expensive pieces of real estate in the city.
The hotel will include 76 rooms, most of them suites, a spa with a 25-meter pool, a restaurant and a bar that open onto a courtyard garden. It is being designed by Bulgari Hotel’s go-to architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Parisian architects Valode & Pistre. An existing building will be restored with a new contemporary facade and the typical Parisian limestone.
In a press release the group said that “The restyling of the building has been conceived as a transition to modernity: while both the use of the typical Parisian limestone and the respect of the ‘alignment’ criteria recall the 19th century Haussmanian urban patterns, the completely renewed façade evokes a rationalistic style that is an expression of the most contemporary architectural design”.
The Bulgari Paris is expected to open in 2020.
