In the heart of Paris, nestled between the legendary Place Vendôme and the Tuileries Garden, Maison Barrière Vendôme opens its doors to customers in search of refinement and singularity. It unveils 26 exclusive rooms, suites and apartments, each dedicated to an iconic woman, mistress of her destiny, embodying freedom and audacity. Whether poets, writers, actresses or adventurers, these women have left their mark on history, and their world is subtly reinterpreted in the decor and ambience of each room. The result of a collaboration with Groupe Evens, this new addition to the Barrière collection reflects the elegance and refinement inspired by Corinne Evens, designer of the Goralska jewelry brand.
Each room, suite and apartment reflects a unique personality, from the precious fabrics to the antique objects, all of which have been carefully selected to evoke the essence of the female artists, painters, dancers or researchers who inspired them. Made-to-measure headboards in Pierre Frey fabrics and paintings by Atelier de Ricou add a distinctive touch to each room. Meticulous details such as Lalique sconces and curtains from the prestigious Declercq passementerie house, which supplies Versailles and Fontainebleau castles, bear witness to exceptional craftsmanship. In the Frida bar, Murano glass lamps illuminate the space with a soft, welcoming light, creating both a warm and sophisticated ambience.
The Maison Barrière Vendôme, with its passion for fashion and luxury, caters to a discerning clientele in search of unique details and a tailor-made experience. The 26 rooms, suites and apartments are designed as elegant refuges, 16 of which feature amenities worthy of the most luxurious Parisian apartments. These spaces have been designed to embody independence and autonomy, a tribute to those great female pioneers, from the most illustrious such as Audrey Hepburn and Maria Callas, to the lesser-known like Lou Andreas-Salomé, one of the first female psychoanalysts, born in 1861, or Natalie Clifford Barney, the American feminist writer whose Parisian salon of women poets responded to the then strictly male Academy. These 26 women, who never met, now symbolically cross paths in this Parisian pied-à-terre.
