Spring 2019

47 Nolinski :The Lap Of Luxury Nestled In The Heart Of Paris Located in the heart of the bustling French capital, Nolinski Paris is a chic addition to the city’s plethora of luxury hotels and offers guests a unique opportunity to explore the best that Paris has to offer. Recently, we recognised the hotel in our 2019 Global Luxury Hotel & Spa Awards programme with the ‘Award for Excellence in Luxury Accommodation’. On the back of this well- deserved accolade, LUXlife magazine profiled the establishment to find out more. Moments away from the Comédie Française and the Louvre, between the Garnier opera house and the famous Rue Saint Honoré, lies a temple to art and life à la française: the Nolinski. The first Parisian hotel of the Evok Hotels Collection, this breath-taking, characterful haven bears the hallmark eclectic refinement of decorator Jean Louis Deniot. Nestled in the heart of the capital, guests can wander, explore and seize the moment. An ode to beauty by day and the City of Lights by night, Paris is a celebration, an exhibition, a park, a café, a boutique and an opera rolled into one - a whirlwind of culture and history. From the romance of the Seine to the formidable majesty of the Palais Royal’s sun-drenched gardens, this eternal tribute to all that is beautiful lies on the Nolinski’s doorstep. Paris’s heart is free for the taking, and guests can delve into a stay steeped in emotion. Upon arrival, a minimalist reception made from Carrara marble welcomes guests, alongside a dedicated team of staff who are committed to excellence in every respect. Thanks to the quiet discretion of its private apartments, this home safeguards the secrets of the art of living, in a space where contemporary aesthetics and classical prestige meet enchantment and flair. Designed for locals and travellers alike, the hotel is a stunning, sophisticated space. From bright, luminous rooms and a mineral spa to the Réjane brasserie and the hushed tones of the Grand Salon, each space is an invitation to let the senses roam and emotions rise. It is an intimate setting scented with spices and musk, a musical atmosphere and the warm softness of velvet or tweed. Hues of blue and emerald green, precious materials and custom-made furniture and furnishings intertwine to orchestrate a lyrical and harmonious ensemble. The architect interior and decorator Jean-Louis Deniot is the embodiment of the new generation of “Haute Décoration”, and as such guests recline in pure luxury when they stay at this sumptuous hotel. At Nolinski, a six-floor odyssey through the clouds is created by the sweeping staircase or the painted mirrors of the lift, which whisks guests away from the hustle and bustle of the ground floor to the hushed heights of the rooms and suites. Above all else, space, comfort and style are the three key elements that define each 45 rooms and suites. Green, raspberry, beige, blue, and yellow - each private apartment reveals in its own colour scheme to enhance the harmony of greys and waxed concrete. All share the same comforts of beautiful materials, dimmed wall lamps, mouldings and neoclassical wood panelling, interwoven with a thread of refinement. A lacquered wardrobe watches over an elegant desk, bearing sculptural and ceramic souvenirs from its travels in faraway lands, while heavy curtains and plush carpets provide the ultimate indulgent finishing touch to these little Haussmann lofts. It would be remiss to not take a moment to discuss the Spa Nolinski by La Colline, which has played an important role in the hotel’s enduring success. With its deceivingly simple design and muted colour palette, it offers an intimate setting to truly relax and unwind, away from the metropolitan utopia outside Nolinski’s doors. Yet, every inch of Spa Nolinski has been delicately crafted to emulate the manifestation of serenity, combining archetypal French elegance with treatments from the Swiss Riviera. It is- more than anything- a haven to simplicity, offering a juxtaposition to the luxurious extravagance that surrounds it. Ultimately, Nolinski offers something for everyone, with a spa, grand lounge and a luxurious eatery in the form of the Brasserie Réjane, which opens directly onto the Avenue de l’Opéra. As such, this exceptional establishment is perfect for guests from around the world who are looking to stay in the epitome of style, sophistication and luxury when they visit Paris, a city synonymous with all of these traits.
