Our friends come and go at our House. Friends of Maison Breguet will give you the keys to the Paris that they love, whilst sharing their best picks of the moment.
Various artists, musicians and writers decorated the hotel’s walls, created playlists, chose books, proposed movies for guests and just like a cherry on the cake, sometimes they stay in the evening, giving an impromptu concert, reading or set. They’re a group of great friends, happy-go-lucky and loyal, and we’re always glad to see them, day or night.
Decorations JUAN ALVAREZ
He began working with the founders of Sagrada, David d’Almada and Richard Sauders, in their London studio seven years ago. When they visited the Norman in Tel Aviv and the London Arts Club, the owners of Maison Breguet decided he was the one for their hotel. There is marble is all the bathrooms, but it is Carrare marble, cut into a herringbone pattern. Part of the decorator’s DNA also includes surprises, humour and colours. Old maps of Paris are hidden in some of the ceilings. “We really want our guests to feel at home here,” concludes Juan.
