May 22, 2012 - Castille Paris , part of Starhotels Collezione, is delighted to announce the completion of an extensive renovation process.  The $25.5 million project began in 2005 when the Italian, family-run hotel group purchased the property, and this final phase has seen 40 rooms in the Opéra Wing completely redesigned.

With an enviable location on the Rue de Cambon, the hotel is situated between the iconic Place Vendôme and Place de la Concorde, just metres from some of the worlds most respected fashion houses.  Echoes of style and fashion are evident throughout the refurbished property’s 108 rooms.  From the 1930’s feel of the Rivoli Wing with its Robert Doisneau prints, to the Italianate classicism of the Opéra Wing, the hotel’s design makes it the perfect address for those looking for a taste of Parisian luxury.

The group’s interior designer, Andrea Auletta worked alongside Ms. Elisabetta Fabri , the owner, President & CEO of Starhotels International, to create a classic contemporary style throughout the hotel.  By pairing subtle colours such as black, cream and coral with elegant soft furnishings, classic mirrors and timeless materials such as marble and oak, they have ensured that the spirit and heritage of the building itself is reflected.

The new designs now boast a beautifully re-designed courtyard, which guests can enjoy the Parisian sunshine during the spring and summer months in L’Assaggio Restaurant’s.  Here, a Romanesque fountain and Venetian artwork reference the Italian heritage of the Starhotels group and traditions of the Fabri Family, creating an overall elegant and beautiful setting in which business and leisure travelers can enjoy alike.
