Housed in a 19th-century mansion occupied by General Pershing during World War I, the Hotel Pershing Hall is a luxury hotel located in the very heart of Paris in one of the city's most elegant districts. A noble façade with an elegant architecture welcomes guests and introduces them into a dramatic stone tunnel, illuminated in vivid colors that change every eight minutes. The contemporary lobby features a floor-to-ceiling column of tropical plants, a spectacular jungle garden 34-metre high, with 300 varieties of plants and flowers cascading down the wall that is lit up at night by hundreds of fairy lights. A bewildering fusion of patterns, textures, and shapes invade the public spaces. Transparent glass-bead curtains throw pearls of light onto heavy wooden doors; floors flow smoothly from Italian glass-mosaic into white stone and stained oak; modern multicolor light fixtures illuminate the ceiling moldings creating the feeling of perfection and originality. The guest rooms are true secret gardens where a palette of colors, white walls with splashes of camel and chocolate, free-standing halogen lamps, and other details form a harmonious sensuality.

Pershing Hall is definitely the masterpiece of famous designer Andrée Putman, who has transformed the simplest things into the most unexpected ways, and who has managed to maintain the kind of personal, refined touches that suit Paris so well, attracting to its buzzing lounge bar, where a DJ performs most nights and to its restaurant, the preferred meeting place for those who appreciate the virtues of gastronomy, a stream of chic young Parisians. Here, it is all about beauty, comfort, and well-being.
