​THE FAUCHON GUEST: ​
​FAUCHON guests are “Discerning Hedonists“ who enjoy the pursuit of pleasure and sensual self-indulgence — pleasure or happiness is the highest good and the aim of human life. ​
​​
​ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN:
​FAUCHON L’Hotel Paris has naturally found its home in one of the most beautiful Haussmanian buildings of its kind in the city. Under the direction of Paris architect, Richard Martinent, the original moldings, doors, balconies, and other design elements were preserved. To customize the space and incorporate Paris aesthetics with a modern touch, the Atelier Paluel Marmont, incorporated the iconic FAUCHON pink and black palette along with a style mixing contemporary and classicism to represent Parisian charm. ​
​​
​In the guest rooms and suites, the design alternates powder-pink velvet accessories with straight curves and rock variations, black herringbone floors, and carefully restored Parisian shutters. Everywhere, a selection of artwork represents the characteristic cheekiness of Maison FAUCHON. Small touches incorporate the charm of FAUCHON: gold threads run inside the shower screens, carpets have been custom designed with the graphic fonts of the house, and light fixtures have been sourced to provide a mood that combines functional intelligence with ambiance to recreate an entirely different mood as day evolves into evening. A variety of unique pieces were commissioned for the hotel including a dual-purpose TV/secretary unit where the TV seems to disappear. It also functions as a small desk — a modern and exclusive version of the former secretary. ​
​​
​Additionally, a number of contemporary French artists were commissioned to design pieces to customize various public spaces throughout the hotel. ​
