Hotel Seven

Avantgarde Superior Hotel, Boutique Hotel in Paris > France

From the creators of Hotel The Five comes a boutique hotel where experience comes before everything else. Le Seven is a deluxe design hotel, with its 28 individually designed rooms with levitating beds, starlit skies and a unique sense of lightness and love. The series of seven suites of the Hotel Seven expresses a new concept of design: each suite was uniquely created with different themes and interactive features, all featuring mini-bars in addition to the services of regular rooms.

The Black Diamond Suite is entirely black, a blend of materials, diamonds and mirrors, making you feel like in a diamond. The eccentric Marie Antoinette suite has large bed in padded white leather, pink glass shelves and a domed starry ceiling with a modern crystal chandelier, crystal in the bathroom and pink fiberoptic lights. The Sublime Suite is dedicated to women, all in soft tones and white like a large cloud with curves and lighting. The 007 Suite is a ‘60s-’70s universe with a retro feel and look; the room comes with a series of 007 gadgets and a masculine feel, on top of a steam bath shower. The Once upon a time suite is the largest suite in the hotel, with its minerals and natural materials like wood, leather and fur. A large round bed and a chimney, two TVs, a lounge bathroom, a shower room and a spa on theterrace. The Alice in Wonderland suite subtly recreates the universe of Alice with clocks, lit panels and screens around the room. The ON/OFF suite is a dual universe with its two different decors from minimalistic to neo-rococo with the flick of a switch. If you are looking for a unique experience of luxury and romance Hotel Seven in the heart of Paris is the right choice.

While remaining in the same time frame, Arman’s work was made from a foundation of the consumer society’s production of manufactured objects.  Open your mind to two forms of his art as they are expressed as vectors and gestures. The exhibition demonstrates originality and relevance to modern times with seven themes that Arman’s art remain instructive and lively.
