Le Relais Plaza

Known as a place of gathering and expression for artists and free spirits across its more than 250 years of history, Le Meurice calls forth the finest French decorative arts and craftsmanship in an unprecedented creative process of redesign.

n early 2023, Le Meurice hosted an on-site exhibition entitled ‘Objets sensuels’ (Sensuous Objects): decorative artists and craftsmen were invited to use the raw decor of rooms undergoing renovations as backdrop for creative exploration. Liken to an open and temporary studio, each space sent visitors on a sensory journey. This rare level of expertise is now showcased at Le Meurice in its recently renovated rooms and suites with design touches including wallpapers done by Maison de Gournay; curtains by Manufacture Prelle, a Lyonnaise family business established in 1752 retaining ancient silk work techniques and handlooms; and, the extremely rare craft of stone marquetry by Sylvaine Gorgo. Craftsmanship of this level is a treasure in France, adding a patina of genuine luxury and a sense of harmony unique to interiors at their finest.
