In the interior design, I did not try to make a "museum" but rather a hotel of our time, rich of its roots.

Monacal and precious
The juxtaposition of these two terms expresses the positioning of the decorative concept of this hotel and finds its justification in the essence of the building and beyond, in the history of the Hôtel-Dieu.
When the Hotel Dieu was built, the contrast between the grandiose palace-like architecture of the building and its function of caring for the poor was surprising. This dichotomy, which continued into the interior of the place, between the very rich Dome and the other monastic parts, has been preserved in the interior decoration.
