finalist luxury, upscale + lifestyle guestroom La Clef Champs Élysées Paris Photos by GILLES TRILLARD The 70 pied-à-terre-inspired guestrooms at the Jean-Philippe Nuel-designed La Clef Champs Élysées Paris pay tribute to the architectural heritage of this Haussmannian-style structure built in 1907 for the Hennessy family of Cognac fame. There are the preserved moldings, cornices, and rosettes, for instance, as well as the original chevron parquet floors and marble fireplaces. The past skillfully blends with Art Deco and contemporary accents, like the pedestal tables that stand in for traditional desks and the jewelbox bathrooms that gracefully flow from a wood exterior to a crisp, marble-surrounded interior.
