Paris Art Hotel | Hotel Le A

One day the artist Fabrice Hybert scribbled an A, and began helplessly laughing …It is the first universal letter and has a nice ring to it, it is the best name for a hotel…and everything started off in the quest for “A”: A for (rue d’) Artois, A pour the Alphabet (26 rooms), A for Art (the hotel is an art gallery) and eventually resulted in the elongated “A” logo resembling the Eiffel Tower: the stamp by which Hotel Le A is recognised.

After many long months of work in 2003, this contemporary luxury hotel finally opened its doors.

The 19th-century façade and glass canopy have been preserved. All the interiors have been remodelled to reveal a large private mansion. Hotel Le A is not merely an hôtel de charme, it is a location that has been designed and built as a genuine townhouse, a place where people live.

The hotel’s fine proportions are the ideal backdrop to unobtrusive, contemporary luxury combining sophistication, elegant simplicity and powerful architecture.

The hotel offers luxury with its own distinctive personality. The overall look was thought up by Frédéric Mechiche, the talented owner, whose work is based on artistic creation. He took the utmost care over the slightest details of colour, materials, light, design and aspects of comfort.
His art is expressed with a certain humour, without restraint and using various mediums: canvas, tapestry, ceramics, lighting, etc. Art is integrated naturally in the hotel through which visitors wander as if they were in a gallery.

26 rooms wreathed in light, all with different names as if they were part of a poem: ”Enfert”, “Peau d’âne”, “tremblement de terre” and “baiser d’arbre”. The letters of the alphabet succeed each other, and your imagination is not far behind. From the double-shaded lobby with its ebony-ivory contrasts, to the library containing 300 art books, to the delicious house cocktail called “Aphrodite”, Hotel Le A is the place to be for art connoisseurs. It would be a pity to miss one of Paris’s most “Arty” venues, wouldn’t it?
