Art Space

Spread across three creatively modular levels, the Art Space is a unique luxury space in the heart of the city. Located in Paris's vibrant 2nd arrondissement, the property is perfectly situated in a private plant-filled courtyard, basking in a haven of calm. Natural light floods into the Art Space from high ceilings and clerestory windows, including a dramatic floor to roof-top cathedral window, creating an atmosphere that is as luminous as it is luxurious.

Initially built in the 1870s, this 300m2 loft space was renovated from an abandoned printing house used by La Résistance to print newspapers and flyers during WWII. Now, the Art Space has been transformed into a unique destination, providing your own private slice of an authentic and refined Paris, a stylish sanctuary designed to welcome up to eight guests. 

As you enter through the foyer, you're greeted by dramatic volumes, within which a spacious open-plan living and dining area boast a sleek design and contemporary décor. A cinema screen hidden behind the transversal Eiffel beam allows movie viewing in style.  The fully-equipped kitchen is perfectly suited for serving up everything from chic canapés to gourmet meals. Also located on the ground level is a bedroom with a shower room and toilet conveniently opposite. Meanwhile, accessed via a glass-top staircase, the lower floor offers the opportunity to work out in the private gym and rejuvenate in the relaxation room using the hydro-jet massage shower and sauna. Accessed via the same glass-top staircase is the 4th modular Queen bedroom.

Climb the stairs to the upper level to reveal an elegant mezzanine lounge replete with tasteful furnishings.  This floor, with its architectural floating passageways, offers a spectacular perspective of the Loft! This upper level also hosts two bedrooms, including the master bedroom with en suite bathroom including a sunken bath and rain shower, & a second bedroom with a half bathroom opposite. A balcony fitted with patio furniture and two bistro tables stretches along this level and can be accessed by both bedrooms.

Resonating with the property name 'Art Space', two original, story-telling artist murals underline the property's history and artistic ambience, bringing warmth and character to the Loft. One decorates the main Loft living room wall rendering tribute to the Resistance and telling the story of the printing house. Colourful and vibrant, the second accentuates the cosy cocktail ambience created on the upper level with Pascal Mourge's designer lounge chairs.

For your own light-filled oasis in the thick of the French capital, the Art Space provides for your every desire, and it does so in style. What's more, you can arrange an array of upmarket services from your very own private chef or wine sommelier to guided city tours of iconic landmarks, galleries, museums. If you wish to explore further afield, a high-end range of helicopter tours can be arranged to visit Versailles, the D-Day Landing Beaches in Normandy or you can even enjoy a champagne lunch in Reims.

A unique property in the heart of Paris, the Art Space offers luxurious space and welcoming accommodation for couples, families and groups of friends or colleagues.  Nestled in the vibrant 2nd arrondissement, Quartier Montorgueil on the right bank of the Seine is situated in the heart of Paris, within close walking distance of countless iconic cultural sites, including the Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Notre-Dame, and Les Halles. And yet, the district has a village atmosphere thanks to its cafes, restaurants, shops, diverse population, and trendy reputation.

The neighbourhood's pulsating yet charming energy is ideally suited for an authentic Parisian experience. Begin your day with a leisurely stroll along Rue Montorgeuil, a street bustling with markets, boutique shops, cafes and patisseries. Take a seat, order something delicious and watch Paris pass by. Or better yet, take your breakfast to the picture-perfect gardens of nearby Palais Royal.

Or take a short jaunt westward to trendy Marais' narrow, cobblestone streets, hidden courtyards and chic shopping, the perfect place to explore Paris's ever-shifting landscape of art galleries and fashion houses.

Take a stroll to the stunning new Rooftop Bar at the Madame Reve restaurant built above the Louvre Post-Office block and Pinaud's newly renovated Bourse de Commerce - an incredible modern art museum, both at the doorstep of the Loft. The nearby newly renovated Samaritaine department store also offers a unique luxury shopping and gastronomic experience in its incredible architectural spaces.

When the sun sets and cafes spill onto the streets, the neighbourhood provides ample opportunities to savour a glass of wine and watch Paris's peculiar habit of blossoming at night.

Montorgueil is truly unique for its eclectic mix of authentic, welcoming Parisian villages combined with new and lavish architectural establishments and experiential concepts, all visually stunning.

With the haven of Art Space at your disposal and the heart of Paris on your doorstep, your stay is guaranteed to have an authentic feel of refined luxury and urban living.
