Interiors

In the royal heart of Right Bank Paris, where imperious buildings betray the first arrondissement’s history of housing courtesans and kings, Émilie Briand and Guillaume Multrier found their fantasy home. It’s secreted inside one of the city’s oldest hôtel particuliers, in a coveted village pocket, on the site of the ancient Porte Montmartre — a gate once punching into a five-kilometre stretch of fortress wall built by King Philippe Auguste (1165–1223) to protect Paris from Anglo-Norman invasion. The property came to them through Antonia Rivoire Immobilier, an agent whose unique collection and clientele are captured on the company’s website with a quote from French philosopher Gaston Bachelard: “The home, more than the landscape, is the domain of the soul.”

Polish hospitality brand PURO Hotels is known for its design-led approach that interweaves past and present by filtering the history and culture of each location through the work of contemporary artists and designers. The recently renovated PURO Krakow Old Town is no exception, welcoming culturally-conscious travellers in vibrantly curated interiors that channel the vintage glamour of Kraków’s interwar cafés and the city’s modernist architectural heritage, courtesy of local practice Paradowski Studio.

Featuring a wide range of artworks by a young generation of artists with close ties to Kraków’s creative community, the revamped hotel is a vibrant hub of art and design as much as an elegant and comfortable place to stay.
