Paris's most iconic square is home to the capital's newest ultra-chic haunt: Chopard's Hotel 1, Place Vendôme. Hidden behind the legendary haute joaillerie, opposite the Louis Vuitton flagship and just a stone's throw from the Ritz, the hotel becomes a sanctuary of luxury and refinement in the heart of Paris' most precious district.
Beyond the porte cochère, theprivate mansion, once the Scheufele family home, reveals a perfect alchemy of history and modernity. Pierre-Yves Rochon, the interior designer behind the Martinez, Grand Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and Shangri-La, has worked his magic at 1 Place Vendôme, meticulously blending the worlds of haute joaillerie andFrench art de vivre.
The 5 rooms and 10 suites, named after precious gems echoing the jeweler's emblematic creations, are an ode to artsand crafts and French heritage. From Lalique sconces and crystal chandeliers to period moldings, marquetry and carved woodwork, every detail is a nod to exceptional craftsmanship. And for those wishing to experience the ultimate in luxury, theprivate apartment, with its gilding, chandeliers and royal bathroom, has nothing to envy those at the Château de Versailles.
Every nook and cranny of theHotel Chopard tells a story, right down to the common areas: the cigar lounge with its Far Eastern influences, the winter garden with its fresco of tropical animals, not forgetting the sublime library.
