For her first solo hotel project, interior architect and Auguri Studio founder Giovanna de Bosredon reimagined two 1970s buildings in Paris’s creative 18th arrondissement. The newly-minted Hôtel Dalila takes its aesthetic cues from the rustic roots of the surrounding Montmartre neighborhood, which was once much less metropolitan. “It had always been countryside with vineyards, and you can still find squares and gardens there,” Giovanna says. “It was important to celebrate this natural side of the city.”
To honor this bucolic legacy—as well as the area’s significance in the art world—the hotel’s lobby, lounge, and 49 guest rooms are swathed in an energizing palette of earthy greens, deep reds, and vivid oranges. “These are the colors of Montmartre,” Giovanna explains. “Green for the grapes and squares, Bordeaux for the history of the wine, and orange for the famous Lapin Agile cabaret and the Picasso painting.” Let’s take a tour.
