Embedded in the distinguished fabric of Paris’ 16th arrondissement, the neoclassical beauty of the building built in 1892 – erstwhile home of Louis Adolphe Thiers, then a gentlemen’s club, and later turned hotel in 1991 – has now seen its story once again reinvented, only this time through the language of Laura Gonzalez. 
This new chapter of the Saint James Paris is told through its 48 rooms, a new restaurant concept overseen by chef Julien Dumas, an iconic bar-library, a Guerlain spa and a new landscaping project for the poetic garden, which has been re-conceived and redesigned by landscape designer Xavier de Chirac. Laura Gonzalez has drawn inspiration from history and conjugated this with an elegantly eclectic energy with nods to classical antiquity and Art Deco, mixing them with colours, wallpapers, “Toile de Tours” fabrics, floral motifs, decorative objects and art pieces.

To achieve her vision, Laura enlisted the contributions of artists and artisans, such as the domes hand-painted by Atelier Roma, the bas-relief in the reception area, based on Laura Gonzalez’s “Tree of Life” design and sculpted by Sofrastyl, the carpets by Manufacture Pinton and the plaster chandeliers by Patrice Dangel in the suites.
