Renowned Parisian architect Laurent Maugoust, mixed Parisian style with modern contemporary design in his refurnishing of Hotel Victor Hugo Paris Kléber

Situated between the Champs-Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe, stands a beautiful Art Deco building and with it the four-star Parisian private property, Hotel Victor Hugo. The owner, Jacques Blanc is passionate about Art Deco and called upon Laurent Maugoust to refurnish and renovate this building and hotel. The architect was given carte blanche but describes his design inspiration came from imagining this ‘… timeless boutique hotel as an extension of the home, where we invite our friends to stay’.

While respecting the 1930s spirit of the building, Maugoust combines innovative and trendy with welcoming chic, continuing the history but creating the welcome sought by its clientéle.

The modernity comes from creating space within the building, opening-up the entrance hall and working with perspectives, such as the carpet marble floor of the lobby and the Art Deco patterns of the front door that reflect the exterior architecture. And the chromatic range of the Art Deco heritage – black, white, gold -  is retained in spite of an injection of colour and pattern, as can be seen from the entrance hall.

Here, the black Art Deco inspired screen in a floral pattern fits perfectly with the contemporary golden velvet armchairs and modern brushed aged brass and marble side table. The lobby has been designed to accommodate versatile, warm spaces where you want to meet, have breakfast, a drink or discover the works of art. The result is an exoticism and peacefulness to the Art Deco.

Particular attention has been taken in the selection of ‘singular and eclectic materials such as raffia, grained leather, marble, velvet, satin, polished glass, lacquered wood and metal to create a timeless elegant address’.

The charming entrance, where opposites clearly attract, displays the indubitable life mantra that you cannot be afraid to take risks, in life and in style.
