Hotel Lutetia Reopens After Elegant Renovation
The iconic Hotel Lutetia, Paris' first luxury hotel on the South Bank, has reopened after a meticulous renovation. The historic hotel, which once hosted literary greats like James Joyce and Samuel Beckett, now welcomes guests with a blend of its rich past and modern luxury.
The renovation, led by architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte, has reduced the number of rooms to 184, including 47 elegant suites. Seven of these are signature suites, ensuring the hotel meets contemporary luxury standards. The design, helmed by Edouard François and SRA, pays homage to the hotel's Art Deco roots, with a sleek gallery connecting the lobby and ground floor salons.
The Brasserie Lutetia, now seating up to 180 guests, offers dishes by Michelin-starred chef Gérald Passedat. The hotel's culinary scene also includes Bar Joséphine, Saint Germain, and The Brasserie, all overseen by Executive Chef Benjamin Brial. The Patio, once a windowless salon, has been transformed into a well-lit space adorned with mosaics and air-cleansing plants.
The library, housing over 1,600 books, features Gio Ponti's armchairs, adding to the hotel's timeless charm. Room design incorporates blue and raw silk or beige-grey tones, with Italian-style showers and Art Deco-style furniture.
Hotel Lutetia's renovation has honoured its past while embracing the present. With its refined dining options, luxurious accommodations, and rich history, it continues to be a beacon of Parisian elegance.
