HOTEL : Keppler

what: Opening of the Hôtel Keppler


Why it's so HolyChic: The hotel is designed by the god of the luxury lodging himself - Pierre-Yves Rochon, interior designer of the "most beautiful hotel in the world", the George V (Paris) and the certainly famous-to-be 7th district Parisian palace, the Shangri La, located in Avenue d’Iena.

This time he designed a small boutique hotel near the Champs-Elysées in the neo classical style with a touch of  typical French coziness of the bourgois appartments from the same district.

It's clear now that minimalism is definitely out in the haute hôtellerie - Pierre-Yves Rochon (along with Jacque Garcia and Vincent Bastie) has imposed the respect of the place and its past, homey ambiance, eclecticism and refined mixture of all sorts of decoration styles and periods. Everything is good to make guest feel like at home.


Architect and Designer: Pierre-Yves Rochon

Surface: 39 rooms and 5 suites

Opening date: August 1, 2007

What they sell: Luxury and comfortable lodging

Ambiance: Neat blend of different French high-bourgeois home styles. Never pretentious, never over-designed or artsy. Rooms are clear, spacey, with a lot of light. Colors: black, white, brown, yellow, red.... The lobby is extra cosy and ultra-chic-Frenchy-home-like. The lift walls are made of black fabric with printed huge white stylized  flowers.

Take the suite with a view of the Eiffel Tower if you are with your lover, you'll feel like you always lived here.

Clientele: Fancy tourists-in-the-know, businessmen, happy upper-class couples.

Service: Always first grade and professional, never snooty. The owner and general manager is beautiful and smart lady who is like her staff, charming and impeccably professional.

Upside: Homelike and cozy. Blend of different styles makes you feel you wanna stay longer and longer.

Downside: There must be one, but I didn't notice it.
