Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs is an impeccably stylish mecca for classic art fans, with Italian architect Fabrizio Casiraghi showcasing his exquisite taste throughout the property. The young designer hand-picked a collection of works for the hotel that pays homage to the 'Golden Age' of ocean voyages and a bygone era of slow travel. Loosely based around the private residences of original fashion power couple Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé, the spaces exude authentic Parisian style, infused with some big New York energy.
Paris has a prestigious selection of design-led hotels, but Fabrizio Casiraghi helps Hôtel des Grands Voyageurs stand out from the crowd with a focus on classic artwork within a hotel with a young, cool edge. Born in Milan and based in Paris, Fabrizio Casiraghi is one of the most exciting emerging talents on the European design scene, listed as one of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 Designers worldwide for 2024—one of the most esteemed accolades in the sphere. The designer set the tone for this elegant property by taking a modern-meets-vintage approach to its décor, but first and foremost, embracing minimalism and leaning away from some Parisian hotels' cramped and fussy styles. Yet, there are still decorative and ornate touches, with shimmering Gustav Klimt prints on the walls and Osanna Visconti mirrors adorned with gilded leaves. It's a classic art collector's haven, minus any pretence—guests can expect a welcoming atmosphere at this neighbourhood design hotel.
