A haven of tranquility in the heart of the city, Mandarin Oriental, Paris offers 138 rooms and suites, including 7 Duplex Suites and a Suite Royale Mandarin of 350 square metres.

Rooms & Suites
Mandarin Oriental, Paris has 99 rooms - 13 of 38 sq m, 13 of 50 sq m and 73 of 42 sq m - and 39 suites that look onto the hotel's indoor courtyard and landscaped garden, or directly onto rue Saint-Honoré, at the heart of Parisian luxury and fashion.  Sybille de Margerie has given each room and suite a quintessential Parisian, haute couture style that is evident in the soothing yet striking colours, elegant, understated lines, and refined, opulent materials.

She has imagined innovative transitions between the different spaces for an individual art de vivre.  These spaces can be open but also intimate and separate, leaving guests the choice of how they occupy the room.  The bathroom, in glass, wood, white marble and mosaic, form two distinct elements.  The basin units are enveloped in ridged leather and finished with bold, hammered bronze buttons for a couture feel.

The interior designer has invited Man Ray, the acclaimed American photographer who made Paris his home in the 1930s, into the bedroom for his evocation of romantic Paris through modern techniques.  A subtle reproduction, on velvet, of The Kiss dresses the alcove, appearing again in a negative, mirror effect on the headboard.

The decoration puts the accent on luxury with taupe silk cushions and embroidered taffeta in shades of orange, magenta and plum.  Furniture in a contemporary style accentuates noble materials with a dominance of dark wood, pale lacquer and chrome.  Sybille de Margerie set out in search of photographs that would complete this soothing, subtle, refined and striking atmosphere.  This led her to the work of Ali Mahdavi, a talented young Iranian photographer who, in her eyes, encapsulates Paris fashion in perfect keeping with the hotel.  She liked his personality, the visual impact of his work, his use of light and his vision of women.  The two met.  Ali was won over by the project, inspired by this couture hotel.  Quickly he appropriated the suites and embraced the spirit of the hotel.  Together, Sybille and Ali have crafted a unique experience of Paris glamour.

Atelier Suites
On the highest floors are the original Atelier suites, each one individual in layout and distinctive in design.  Decorated in shades of ecru, coral and plum, they represent authentic Parisian pieds-a-terre’s and provide a luxury retreat away from the city, with windows opening onto the rooftops of Paris.

Couture Suites
Situated almost exclusively on the highest floors, these suites have a very special charm thanks to their unusual layout, as these luxury cocoons unfold on different levels or as a succession of rooms.  They open onto tree-lined balconies and look over the indoor garden, and are decorated in a palette of ecru and coral, or ecru and plum.  Sybille de Margerie has chosen the world of haute couture as the theme for the Couture Suites.  She has delved into Lesage's abundant archives and named them Fils de Soie, Mur de Perles, Coromandel and Arabesques.  She revisits each creation, transposing hours of patience and passion onto headboards and large transparent boxes.  A work in progress or complete, embroidery by Lesage envelops guests in silk, pearls, crystals and sequins.

The broderies de Cristal Suite
Silks, pearls and sequins adorn the Broderies de Cristal suite, capturing the romance of the city while creating an intimate Parisian apartment with fabulous views of the Opera and Montmartre.

The Cabochons Suite
The Cabochons Suite encapsulates haute couture and style with striking orange and copper shades, and fabrics and textures straight from a fashion atelier, and fashion photography lining the walls.

The Suite Royale Orientale
West pays homage to East; philosophies meet and cultures merge in the Orientale Suite, which extends over two levels in a harmony of white, beige, black and green.  Lacquer blends with velvet, ebony with marble for an emotional journey from Paris to the Orient.  The staircase is embellished with sculpted flowers and butterflies.  Sybille de Margerie has hung the walls with black and white photography by Jean-Baptiste Huynh, and commissioned the artist Thierry Bisch to paint a quadriptych for the entrance depicting a cloud of butterflies.

The Suite Royale Mandarin
Bathed in light, the 350 sq m Presidential Suite affords a 360° view from its terrace, of the  rooftops of Paris and its landmarks:  Montmartre, the Garnier Opera, the Grand Palais, the Louvre and Beaubourg.  Extending over two levels and two heights, this spectacular suite offers a unique experience.  It comprises a sweeping living room with terrace, a dining room and bar, an office and a steam bath.  Sybille de Margerie has decorated this suite in a harmony of gold, white, beige and plum, which she has accented with gilded oak, marble, lacquer, velvet and silk.  The staircase in the living room forms a vertical sculpture of rounds and circles in guilloche metal.

Flowing lines, precious, sensual materials… every piece of furniture has been specially designed for the suite.  Art is present in a triptych by Gérard Roveri in folded metal, redolent of a Chinese screen, a butterfly carafe by the artist Thierry Bisch, and flowers captured by the photographer Jean-Baptiste Huynh.  In the bedroom, the bed is dressed with Man Ray's Neck, embroidered in silk by Lesage.  The basin units in the vast white and gold bathroom, with its view of the Eiffel Tower, have been designed as travel trunks.  Always a sensorial experience, bathing becomes a moment of emotion and refinement.

The top floor suites and the Royale Orientale Suite can be privatized to form the largest suite in Paris, at almost 1,000 square metres.
