Usually known mononymously as Andr\u00e9, he\u2019s the graffiti artist turned club owner who sits atop Paris&#8217; restaurant and nightlife scene. He\u2019s also an hotelier, and L\u2019Hotel Grand Amour is his latest project. Nestled between the Gare de l\u2019Est and the Grands Boulevards, the Grand Amour is a truly unique proposition: housed in an impossibly chic and luxurious building, the lobby harkens back to those halcyon days when being in a hotel meant more than a comfortable bed for the night. There\u2019s a small shop filled with eclectic one-of-a-kind curios, as well as a bar-cum-caf\u00e9 that serves artisanal black coffee until six o\u2019clock \u2013 at which point things get exciting with a range of expertly mixed cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the hotel\u2019s crowning glory, though, is its two luxurious lounges. In the first, you\u2019ll find a kaleidoscopic aquarium replete with tropical fish (even more impressive after a few whisky sours) and in the second a roaring fireplace and a selection of historical knick-knacks belonging to Andr\u00e9\u00a0himself. Where else could you see letters addressed to the surrealist Breton, archival copies of <em>Lui <\/em>magazine and antique Chinese pots? Even if you disdain clutter, this is undoubtedly a collection to remember.<\/p>\n<p>But what of the rooms? Well, by the time I dragged myself away from the spacious ground floor and stepped into the brass mirrored lift, I was expecting something pretty special. Fortunately, I wasn\u2019t disappointed. Each of the 42 rooms on all five floors are beautifully appointed with amenities from Herm\u00e8s, individually sourced antiques from across the globe, countless photographs from Helmut Newton and Man Ray, and even cult drawings from the great Marcel Duchamp. This place really is an aesthete\u2019s dream. Oh, and the restaurant staff\u2019s uniforms are designed by the Kitsune team &#8211; the food ain&#8217;t bad either. In a world where so many hotels are shrines to dreary, slick anonymity, L\u2019Hotel Grand Amour is like a window into the lively, surprising, and ever so pretty mind of\u00a0Andr\u00e9\u00a0Saraiva.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Screenshot-448.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-63999\"
