We like the idea of spending the holidays at a world-class hotel (you deserve it when everything is going to pieces). We’re obsessed with the Hí´tel Providence in Paris’s theater district; a newly opened hotel from restaurateur Pierre Moussié.
Modern eclecticism meets conspicuous glamour in the interiors. Elodie Moussié, wife of Pierre, designed the interiors with her best friend, Sophie Richard, who updated the 1854 brothel with House of Hackney wallpaper, printed velvet fabrics, antique lighting, and portrait paintings sourced from French country flea markets. Here’s a look inside.
