Located in a neighborhood historically associated with theaters, cabarets, and the artistic life of Montparnasse, the project transforms hospitality into an immersive experience shaped by fantasy, mythology, and the performing arts. The building itself carries an unusual history, having originally housed Les Mille Colonnes, a renowned theater dating back to the early 19th century. Its historic façade now introduces a series of interiors where decorative elements, unexpected colors, and references to Parisian cultural heritage unfold throughout the hotel. The project was initiated in 2024 by hotelier Jacques Blanc, who envisioned a property that would depart from conventional hospitality design.
