82 83 Edouard VII EN The Prince of Wales in Paris, Edward VII was fascinated by the ‘City of Light’. Just across from the Opéra Garnier, the Bessé Signature group’s Hotel Edouard 7 pays him a well-deserved tribute. Renowned for his great zest for life, the aristocrat was the epitome of sophistication - a fashionable figure, a dandy. Just like him, the Hotel Edouard 7 dresses with audacity, seduction, character and even theatricality. The hotel’s recent renovations were based on a unique conceptual approach. Rich fabrics and flamboyant colours have come together to create a true work of ‘haute couture’. Each area was designed like a silhouette to be dressed, based on a meticulous and intimate study of the British sovereign’s personality. While exercising a contemporary appeal, the hotel welcomes guests into its very heart, confiding whispered secrets.” HÔTEL ÉDOUARD 7 39, av de l’Opéra 75002 Paris - France www.edouard7hotel.com T + 33 1 42 61 56 90 [email protected]
