Bulgari Hotel Paris
The project consists of the restoration of an existing property complex located on avenue George V in the heart of the 8th arrondissement, and its conversion to a 5-star hotel of 11,000 m². In addition to bringing the property up to current standards, the project had ambitious objectives in terms of architectural quality and functional adaptation.

The project comprises 75 rooms and suites, a restaurant, a spa, a swimming pool and a terrace with a panoramic view of Paris. Three-quarters of the suites have terraces and loggias, and there is a two-storey penthouse with a 600 m² private garden offering a panoramic view of the capital’s emblematic monuments.
The project’s architecture, entrusted by Bulgari to Valode & Pistre in association with Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel, is resolutely contemporary and distinctive, yet completely in keeping with the historic urban setting of avenue George V, and thus expressive of a dialogue between two cultures, those of Italy and Paris. The almost monolithic mineral façades are clad mainly in sustainable light-coloured stone, an enduring material that is in harmony with the architecture of the neighbouring Haussmanien buildings, which are also in stone. The glazed bays are deployed on two levels, as on Italian palaces.
The building’s volumetrics and successively regressing façades offer accessible terraces on levels 7 and 9. The penthouse has been treated as an extensively glazed pavilion opening onto the vast terrace roof.
An interior courtyard offers a shady, planted space accessible from the ground floor. The tastefully designed interior decor mingles stone and marble from various regions of Italy with works in glass made using techniques inherited from René Lalique. Bulgari’s timeless elegance is thus mingled with Parisian charm.
