Context

Located at the heart of the vibrant and affluent Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, Hotel Lutetia is one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris, and the only Palace hotel on the left bank of the river. For over a century, the hotel has been home to legendary artists, filmmakers and style-makers, a place where visionary minds would gather and be mutually inspired in true Parisian fashion.

“LUTETIA IS THE MODERN GRAND HOTEL OF PARIS”

After a significant restoration and modernisation, the Lutetia reopened its doors in 2018, soon to become yet again the heart of the cultural capital of the city.
