Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées, Paris

Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées is a design-conscious hotel where Champs-Élysées's fashion confidence, collector culture, Haussmannian refinement and appetite for creative reinvention converge within an address whose newest chapter has become one of Touriste's most distinctive Parisian interiors.

Set along Rue La Boétie near Rue du Colisée and just steps from Avenue des Champs-Élysées, the longtime Hôtel d'Angleterre address at No. 91 has been recast as Hôtel de La Boétie, with Touriste founder Adrien Gloaguen commissioning Swedish-born, London-based designer Beata Heuman for her first hotel project. Heuman retained elements inherited from the previous property, including its marble entrance, staircase and lift, then layered them with silver reflective walls, grassy-green carpeting, natural brass, solid ash furniture and three guestroom palettes progressing through deep blue, warm brown and powder blue. The commission carries unusual design authorship into the rooms through handwoven wool headboards inspired by the inlaid marble floors of Florence's Medici Chapels, alongside Heuman's Dodo Egg Light, Knot handles, Cub Chair and Lion Chair from her own Shoppa collection. The result is a Rue La Boétie address where inherited hotel fabric and Beata Heuman's lively British-Scandinavian style give Champs-Élysées's polished surroundings a far more individual design personality.

Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées is best known for representing the earlier character of the hotel company established at 91 Rue La Boétie in 1957, an address acquired by Touriste Paris 8 in 2021 and subsequently relaunched in September 2023 as Hôtel de La Boétie after founder Adrien Gloaguen commissioned Beata Heuman to create the sixth Paris property in the Touriste portfolio and her first hotel interior. Heuman, who trained under British decorator Nicky Haslam before establishing her London studio in 2013, worked within a nineteenth-century building whose previous alterations allowed substantial intervention while preserving the marble entrance, original staircase and lift from its earlier hotel life. The redesigned property contains 40 rooms across six floors organized into three principal color schemes, with deep blue on lower levels, warmer brown through the middle and powder blue across the upper floors, unified by green carpeting, natural brass, stainless steel and solid ash furniture designed to acquire patina with age. Guestrooms center on custom flat-weave wool headboards derived from the marble patterns of Florence's Medici Chapels, while Heuman populated the interiors with her own Shoppa designs including Knot wardrobe handles, Cub and Lion chairs, Dodo Egg, Crinkle and Paper Bag lights, turning the former Hôtel d'Angleterre into an unusually comprehensive expression of a single designer's vocabulary.

Touriste provides the continuity between the former Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées and its current identity, with the legal entity SAS HOTEL D'ANGLETERRE-CHAMPS-ELYSEES still headquartered at 91 Rue La Boétie while Hôtel de La Boétie operates publicly from the same address under Adrien Gloaguen's hospitality group. Beata Heuman developed the project after Gloaguen had followed her work for years, bringing a designer known principally for residential interiors into a hospitality commission conceived with greater theatrical freedom while retaining the practical discipline associated with her Scandinavian background and Nicky Haslam training. Shoppa then allowed Heuman to carry that authorship from architecture into individual objects, placing proprietary furniture, hardware and lighting beside antiques and offbeat artworks while solid ash, wool and natural brass established a material counterweight to the reflective walls and saturated colors. Together, Touriste, Adrien Gloaguen, Beata Heuman and Shoppa explain the unusually complete reinvention of Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées, where a hotel business operating from Rue La Boétie since 1957 ultimately became the structure for Heuman's first full hospitality commission more than six decades later.

Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées works as the anchor for an afternoon tracing private collecting, couture authorship and Belle Époque artistic ambition through the cultural institutions surrounding Rue La Boétie.

Begin at Musée Jacquemart-André, where banker Édouard André purchased land on newly created Boulevard Haussmann in 1869 and commissioned Henri Parent to build his residence through 1876, before André and portraitist Nélie Jacquemart married in 1881, assembled collections across repeated journeys to Italy and the Near East, and left the house to the Institut de France for its December 8, 1913 inauguration as a museum by President Raymond Poincaré. Continue to Musée Yves Saint Laurent Paris, housed at 5 Avenue Marceau where Yves Saint Laurent transferred his couture house in 1974 and worked until 2002 with six or seven studio collaborators and nearly 200 tailors and seamstresses, before Pierre Bergé helped preserve the house and its archives and the museum opened there in October 2017. Conclude at Petit Palais, designed by Charles Girault for the 1900 Exposition Universelle as four wings surrounding a semicircular garden, transferred to the City of Paris in 1901 and inaugurated as its fine-arts museum on December 11, 1902 after the Dutuit brothers' collection substantially enriched the municipal holdings, with Albert Besnard later painting four Symbolist entrance murals between 1903 and 1910. The progression moves from André and Jacquemart's private collecting through Saint Laurent's working couture house into Girault's synthesis of architecture and municipal art, revealing the culture of individual taste, fashion authorship and decorative ambition that makes the reinvention of Hôtel d'Angleterre Champs-Elysées particularly intelligible within this pocket of Paris.
