Elegance from Paris



Le Grande Salon, my favorite room in the hotel, mainly for its wonderful blend of grapes and pinks- with natural wooden finishes and a chimney  to die for!



La Paiva of The Champs-Elysees Hotel is a gorgeous historic monument located in the heart of Paris. The beautiful hotel would be too difficult and ornate for the average mademoiselle to replicate, but its excellent variations of color and texture are great to draw inspiration from!
