Founded in 1928, Le Royal Monceau is a historic hotel in Paris, located in the heart of the French capital, just steps from the Champs- Elysées and the Arc de Triomphe. In 2008, it underwent a profound renovation, curated by the renowned architect and designer Philippe Starck. Today, the hotel presents a captivating combination of architectural and decorative elements that reinterpret the refined Parisian spirit in a contemporary key, epitomizing luxury. Dedicated to art, Le Royal Monceau houses a private collection of over 300 works, a cinema, an art gallery, and a bookstore. Barovier&Toso creations illuminate various areas of the hotel, such as the Katara Presidential Suite, characterized by a warm and welcoming atmosphere that perfectly matches the delicate elegance of the Amsterdam chandeliers. Sinous Venetian crystal arms end with diamond-cut reels, crafted using the rostrato technique, supporting white lampshades that create a soft and enveloping light. In the lobby, visitors are greeted by a large three-tiered Nevada chandelier, with more rigorous and graphic lines, associated with Murano tradition elements like the charming hanging crystal drops. Saint Germain completes the circle, in a two-light chandelier version, the focal point of Le Bar Long, conceived by Philippe Starck in a decidedly innovative way. Instead of featuring the classic tables, the bar revolves around a single, narrow, and long table that connects to the counter, backlit by the Barovier&Toso chandelier in a custom total red version, matching the niche that frames it.
