A rounded facade with a “liner” fashion. A pastel pink, virtually powdery. And the neon signal is totally retro. The building designed Pierre Patout is an icon of the 1930s, on the Avenue de Wagram in Paris. A Mercedes family guesthouse for almost a century, the establishment is reborn as we speak, reworked right into a neighborhood lodge because of the inspired and kooky eye of decorator Dorothée Delaye. Seven floors, 37 rooms, a duplex suite, and a bar rejoice this Art Deco structure.
From the entrance, it's a bounce into a colorful universe. Shades of celadon and pink invade the spaces and are composed by graphic and geometric strains. By contact, decorative parts seek advice from the history of this institution. Sconces and mirrors in the form of portholes, mini-bars with Artwork Deco bronze handles, velvet headboards with undulating silhouettes. A real cruise by way of the Roaring Twenties that continues to the lodge bar. The carpet covers the floor with a palm motif, the seats coated with velvet, and impressive Art Nouveau, stained-glass home windows by the artist Jacques Grüber encompass the bar-rotunda in bronze and lacquered prime. It is in this cozy environment of secret bars that travelers of all types come to eat in the morning, take part in events in the course of the day, and luxuriate in a cocktail at night time.
The Mercedes Lodge is a stopover on the shores of 1930s Miami in the heart of Paris!&
