Olivier Bertrand has entrusted the interior architect Laura Gonzalez the complete renovason of the Parisian Saint James hotel, as well as the creason of new spaces and the development of hotel flats located opposite the establishment. Inspired by the pressgious building, designed in 1892 as a vast collector’s mansion, she chose to breathe new life into this five-star hotel by emphasising its neo-classical beauty and its many references to Greek ansquity and Art Deco. Through each of her decorasve choices, Laura has transformed this historic building into a new emblem of the Parisian spirit. True to her daring mixes of styles, the architect has fused the romansc spirit of the hotel with the soul of a gentlemen’s club and breathed light and life into every space, from the spa to the garden.

Located under a pergola in the garden, the new historic English bar and gourmet restaurant "Bellefeuille" were redesigned in the style of a winter garden offering a magnificent view of the enclosed gardens

As for the mythical Saint James’ bar-library, it is immersed in an intimate, English-style atmosphere of velvet, woodwork and subdued lighting.

Laura imposes her style, inclassable by the diversity and the richness of fabrics and colors in the rooms of the hotel. Decorated around a palette of four colors from cream to celadon green, the rooms and bathrooms evoke the apartments of a collector who would live here, surrounded by his books and works of art.

Each spaces are decorated with custom-made furniture and punctuated with pieces of French craftsmanship such as the plaster chandeliers of sculptor Patrice Dangel. All is conducive to rest and inspiration.
