THE NEW BEDROOMS OF HOTEL BEL AMI By Philippe Maidenberg In soft, bright colours and furnished in fine fabrics, Philippe Maidenberg s bedrooms are an expression of contemporary luxury and elegant discretion that reflect the needs of a personal space into which one can quickly settle. Hotel Bel Ami literary spirit is emphasised by the combined desk and bookcase which, with its mirror, becomes a dressing table when needed. To read and write, and later to dress for the evening s activity, is each in turn an element of the spirit of St Germain des Prés! Tinted mirror wardrobe doors reflect la vie en rose within a décor shaded with green and night blue to evoke the gardens and night sky of Parisian evenings. Furniture is in natural silver grey and white painted oak to blend with the velvet of the bedheads. In contrast, a low chair in gold leather by Mobilier Perrouin adds a warm touch. The bathrooms are designed as luxurious wooden huts, in natural wood tones highlighted by mother of pearl.
THE BEDROOMS OF HOTEL BEL AMI By Marina Bessé The Rykiel Collection In homage to the designer Sonia Rykiel, whose creations reflect the spirit of Saint Germain des Prés, the bedrooms are both chic and bohemian, with fabrics that perfectly symbolise her style. The finely shaded stripes in irregular widths brings the Rykiel trademark style to these quietly sophisticated spaces. The ebony and ivory Collection Subtly illuminated spaces in which the dominant tones of ivory and black, highlighted with steel and painted and reconstituted wood, offer a a niche of sober yet luxurious comfort. The Purple Collection A subtle and harmonious play on lines and materials, and a blending palette of floral and vegetable colours, together bring a soft sensation of serenity to the bedrooms: the very spirit of a Japanese garden in springtime. The ochre collection Tones of sunbaked earth, livened by touches of red in a play on structured lines, are the essence of the soft and heavyweight fabrics from Pierre Frey and the pale wood finishes to transform these bedrooms into warm and cosy cocoons of luxury.
