Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay, the duo behind Festen Architecture, have transformed Hotel Balzac into a unique destination, blending grand hotel spirit with intimate chic. Inspired by the hotel's facade and architectural details, they created a distinctive atmosphere while honoring its history and heritage. From the glass-roofed lounge to the rooms and spa, the spaces offer a cozy and welcoming ambiance. Neutral tones, clean lines, and refined materials such as wood, velvet, and natural stone create timeless elegance. Light, considered as a true element of decoration, enhances the space throughout the day. Custom-made furniture, reminiscent of the 1930s and 40s, is reinterpreted with creative modernity and a constant focus on comfort. Every detail of this renovation echoes Balzac's Parisian identity.
"Balzac perpetuates a timeless Parisian hotel heritage with its classicism. It's a place full of atmosphere, with a history that we have respected and extended. You need to experience this place to understand it," say Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay.
