Paris 2024 is an opportunity to experience
Maison Proust's executive suite welcomes guests with Jacques
Aymer de la Chevalerie's painting of Marcel Proust above the bed
the city on another level, to " immerse oneself
in a festive atmosphere while the entire world
comes together in celebration, " says Corinne
Menegaux, managing director of Paris je
t'aime. " The event serves as an accelerator for
an impressive array of improvements aligned
with the city's values, including modernized
and sustainable transportation systems,
expanded bike lanes, and enhanced green
spaces. " More than 18 miles of new cycling
routes will be created in central Paris, and in
2025, three areas of the River Seine will be
open to the public for swimming, " a dream that
both Parisians and visitors have cherished for
quite some time, " she adds.
Constant crowds have long generated
an abundance of varied hotel offerings in
Paris, and new projects are continuing apace.
According to 2023 Q4 numbers from Lodging
Econometrics, there are 26 hotels in the
pipeline that will bring 3,925 guestrooms to the
city. Among these forthcoming developments
are the 82-key Hôtel Grand Coeur Latin opening
in April. Housed in a 19th-century Latin
Quarter building redone by local architect
Vincent Bastie, it features warm mineral-toned
guestrooms and a wellbeing area starring a
striking mosaic pool.
La Fondation, a 58-room hotel in a Philippe
Asian-inspired tiled columns surround
the pool at Maison Proust's La Mer spa
Chiambaretta building with interiors by New
York-based Roman and Williams, is slated
for Q2. Located in the 17th arrondissement, it
will bring together a floating garden, sports
club, and workspaces. Over in the 16th, Accor's
Handwritten Collection will debut the 65-room
Hotel Maison Hamelin Paris in June, an ode
to haute couture from local design practice
Maison Malapert.
This summer will also see the relaunch
of the historic Hôtel Cayré as Le Grand Hôtel
Cayré from lifestyle brand Miiro. Frequented
by Parisian artists, writers, and intellectuals,
the revitalized 123-room property will take cues
from the Old World charm of Saint-Germaindes-Prés
and feature a classic French brasserie
and an exclusive bar.
Located in the La Marais district is the
23-room Maison Proust, part of the Maisons
Particuliers collection, which local designer
Jacques Garcia created as an homage to the
Belle Époque salons frequented by French
novelist Marcel Proust with lush fabrics and a
winter garden wrapped in Cordoba leather.
Nearby, the 15-key 1 Place Vendôme from

at the soon-to-open La Fondation
Chopard is another winter garden in bloom,
