THE SOUL OF THE PLACE
An tireless traveler and compulsive curiosity seeker, he has brought back from his many stays elsewhere an infinite array of aesthetic and emotional inspirations. Over time, the dream took the shape of a hotel where people from around the world would come to meet a cheerful Parisian crowd. An address in a beloved neighborhood, wholly dedicated to genuine hospitality, a place where one feels at home and swept away by a whirlwind of encounters, discoveries, and pleasant surprises.
Thierry Gillier entrusted the realization of this dream to Franck Durand. The artistic director surrounded himself with talents, foremost among them the architectural duo Festen. All were carefully chosen for their ability to understand and translate the uniqueness of this project and what deeply animated it.
Over the years, the family has continuously grown as the dream took form. From the Emil restaurant to the top floor apartment, including the La Coquille d’Or bar and the 32 unique rooms spread over 5 floors, everywhere you can feel that Château Voltaire was born first and foremost from the joy of being together and collectively making this magnificent declaration of love to Paris and to life.
