The Peninsula Paris has officially opened for business, making this the luxury brand’s first property in Europe.
Located just steps away from the iconic Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Élysées, The Peninsula Paris features 200 luxurious rooms, including 34 suites. Taking room with a view to new heights, five suites even feature their own private rooftop.
The hotel is also home to six restaurants and bars, including L’Oiseau Blanc, a rooftop bar with a 360 view of the city. Rounding out the experience are luxury boutiques, the Peninsula Spa, private reception rooms and Paris’ first above-ground Cigar lounge.
The property is located in a late 19th-century classic French-style building, dating back to 1908, when it first opened as the Hotel Majestic, one of Paris’ most famous historic landmarks. Following the wartime occupation of Paris, the hotel was converted into UNESCO’s headquarters in 1946, then in 1958 became the conference centre for the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, used to host high-profile events until 2009.
Notable historic events at the hotel include the composition of “An American in Paris” which George Gershwin composed while staying at the hotel in 1928, and the signing of the Paris Peace Accords, negotiated by Henry Kissinger and bringing the Vietnam War to a close, in 1973 in the salon which is today Le Bar Kléber.
Care has been taken to preserve the heritage, authenticity and the spirit of the building, while setting spectacular new standards in design, luxury and comfort, and the building has been meticulously restored for more than four years by teams of French master craftsmen, utilising traditional techniques that date back hundreds of years.
The façade alone employed the talents of 20 skilled stonemasons from historic monument specialist Degaine to restore the 100,000 square foot area with its elaborate carved stone flowers, bows and ribbons.
Repairs were carried out where possible, carving missing portions by hand using stone dust paste, or where the bas-reliefs were severely damaged, the entire section was replaced by a new stone and hand-carved from scratch, using only photos for reference. Each flower cascade took a stonemason three weeks of work, with 12 hours for a small bow.
The hotel also benefits from a unique collection of specially curated contemporary artworks from Hong Kong-based Sabrina Feung Fine Art, including two major installations by internationally celebrated artists Ben Jakober and Xavier Corberó, widely acclaimed as Spain’s foremost living sculptor.
Heritage Hotels and Resorts, Inc has recently finalized plans to build a new 118-room hotel in the heart of Old Town, Albuquerque, N.M. The project which plans to break ground by late, has an estimated completion date in spring, 2016.
The contemporary boutique hotel will feature a contrast of ancient and modern elements to create a space that captures the legacy of New Mexico’s Native American culture and history in a modern and luxurious way.
“We’re creating a hotel where guests will experience the true culture of New Mexico in a way that has never been done before,” said Jim Long, CEO, Heritage Hotels & Resorts. “We are blending ancient building techniques from New Mexico Native Americans with modern amenities and designs from the best designers in the world to create a new hotel that will redefine and advance the architectural building style in our state.
The services, sacred architecture and accommodations this hotel will provide will embrace the native people’s spirituality, artistic sensibility and oneness with nature. ”
The new property will be built on five levels with guestrooms designed to extend outdoors onto gracious terraces showcasing views of the Sandia Mountains and the downtown skyline or overlooking the gardens and pool terrace below. The hotel, located adjacent to Hotel Albuquerque, will share Hotel Albuquerque’s pool, ballrooms and chapel.
The hotel will be the first New Mexico property planned by global design firm, Gensler, who drew inspiration from the Anasazi people and the indigenous ruins of Chaco Canyon.
“Heritage Hotels & Resorts presented a captivating conceptual vision as a catalyst for the design team,” said Adam Gumowski, Design Director at Gensler. “The result is a one-of-a-kind property that embraces the spirituality, sensibility and legacy of the indigenous ruins of Chaco Canyon, while simultaneously striving for a contemporary sophistication.”
Specific designs incorporated from the Native American cultures include building the hotel in solar alignment, as well as relying upon ancient masonry techniques, which have been incorporated into this project.
Like the designs of Chaco Canyon, this hotel will be constructed so the property’s solar orientation can make the most of the heat in the winter and the coolness in the summer. Guest rooms will be deeply recessed to allow for solar gain in winter but protect from the sun in summer. The hotel’s five floors will also be built in a traditional stacked pueblo style with the façade stepping back at the upper floors.
The entrance to the hotel will serve as a welcoming sanctuary, greeting guests with soothing sounds, flowing water and warming fires in winter.
Beyond the lobby–a two-story Kiva inspired space–local landscape architect, Mimi Burns, of Dekker Perich Sabatini has designed a landscape reflecting the randomness of raindrops touching the earth. She will also design tranquil gardens and landscaped opened areas.
Interiors of the hotel will done by Santa Fe based designer, Kris Lajeskie and will focus on a merger of ancestral knowledge with contemporary materials, furnishings and art. The color palette for the project will be the natural wool colors used by the master weavers of the Navajo reservation.
“Not since Fred Harvey has there been a visionary who has taken on with such vigour the creation and promotion of the ‘cultural hotel’ in the Southwest,” said Kris Lajeskie, principal of Kris Lajeskie Design. “Gensler did a brilliant job in their interpretation of Chacoan architecture, and my challenge was to create interior spaces that capture the essence of Mother Earth and the indigenous native culture. From the moment you enter, you will know you are in a very special place.”
Future plans for the hotel will include a signature restaurant featuring modern Native American cuisine, a luxurious spa, a rooftop restaurant and a rooftop wedding chapel. Hotel Albuquerque will be the owner of the new hotel, and managed by Heritage Hotels & Resorts. Hotel Albuquerque was acquired in 1999 by a group of local New Mexican families, led by Jim Long.
