HOMECOMING

Just a stone’s throw from the Arc de Triomphe and in the heart of Paris, ELLE has opened its own boutique hotel, the fittingly named Maison ELLE that oozes charm and is imbued with the essence of French art de vivre

- SOLINE DELOS

Welcome to Maison ELLE, the first boutique hotel to be launched by ELLE magazine which is soon to be joined by additional addresses across France and other major capitals worldwide. The hotel is set to further diffuse the inimitable lifestyle that has been celebrated by the French media house for over 77 years and projected around the world by its international editions. The creative brains behind this exquisite blend of fashion, decoration and art de vivre are design duo Laurent Bardet and Laurence Jean, founders of the interior architecture and design agency Laurent & Laurence. “Our concept was about capturing the essence of French lifestyle and creating a design that was steeped in the codes of ELLE”, explains Laurent Bardet.
