The Royal Suite on the 5th floor of the Hôtel Plaza Athénée has recently been renovated and redecorated by Marie-José Pommereau. With a total area of 450m², it is the largest suite in Paris.
2012-08-22 — /travelprnews.com/ — It comprises four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two lounges, an office and even a galley kitchen. It overlooks the City of Light with a spectacular view from its balcony of the sparkling Eiffel Tower, Avenue Montaigne and its luxury shops and the hotel’s courtyard garden, providing guests with a sense of peace and serenity.
A very Parisian style of decoration
While maintaining the classical feel of the rooms and furnishings, Marie-José Pommereau has given the suite a more modern appearance.
The furniture from the Régence, Louis XV and Louis XVI periods, the paintings and the antiques create a look that reflects the purest French traditions of interior design. Like the wood panelling in the 18th-century style, the fabrics, silks, damasks and trimmings have all been made by craftsmen working in France’s oldest small businesses.
The colour palette, however, has been updated. The first lounge is filled with shades of purple while the second one emphasises the contrast of gold and crushed raspberry. The bedrooms are decorated in apricot for Sir and lilac for Madam.
The most sumptuous Italian marble, specially selected for the Royal Suite in the quarries near Verona, has been used for the bathrooms.
To ensure maximum relaxation, the spacious bathrooms for the two main bedrooms are particularly well designed. One has a steam room and a jacuzzi; the other has a built-in television.
Ever-present high-tech features.
The luxury and elegance have been combined with high-tech features such as flat screen televisions in all the rooms, sometimes concealed in the mirrors. Among them are four 3D televisions, including two 85-inch screens! Converter boxes* that can be used to connect any device to the television are built into the desks or placed on the coffee tables next to the sofas.
The lighting is adjustable by remote control to meet guests’ requirements.
Lastly, as far as security is concerned, new locks have been installed. There is also a remote surveillance system and a security lobby at each entrance to ensure safety and maximum well-being.
*Converter box: HDMI, VGA, USB, RCA, USB and Bluetooth.
