Hotel Wallace
A Parisian Gem: Indulgence with a Conscience
Hidden in the 15th arrondissement of Paris, Hotel Wallace is an Orso Hotel that redefines Parisian elegance with a focus on both luxury and sustainability. Stepping through the doors is like entering a haven of thoughtful design, where every detail whispers of comfort and eco-conscious practices. Silvio d’Ascia Architecture recently renovated a hotel in a central location in Paris, not far from one of the greatest symbols of the city, the Dame de Fer, as the locals call the Eiffel Tower.
Design with a Conscience: The hotel’s aesthetic is a blend of Parisian chic and 1970s Italian Riviera vibes. Jewel tones, terrazzo bathrooms, and plush textures create a warm and inviting atmosphere. But beyond the aesthetics lies a commitment to the environment. Natural light floods the central atrium, reducing the need for artificial lighting. Motion-sensor lights in common areas and LED fixtures throughout the hotel further minimize energy consumption.
Kindness with a Parisian Flair: The staff at Hotel Wallace embodies the famed Parisian charm. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with genuine warmth and a willingness to go the extra mile. Whether you need restaurant recommendations, directions to hidden gems, or simply a friendly conversation, the staff is always happy to help.
Sustainability Woven into the Experience: Hotel Wallace’s commitment to sustainability goes beyond aesthetics. They prioritize renewable energy sources, minimize water consumption, and source locally whenever possible. Even unconsumed food gets a second life, with croissants being transformed into delicious puddings. Eco-friendly cleaning products and composting initiatives further reduce their environmental footprint.
A Rooftop Escape with a View: The hotel’s crown jewel is undoubtedly its rooftop terrace. Soak in breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower while relaxing in the hot tub surrounded by lush greenery. This rooftop oasis is a testament to the hotel’s
dedication to creating a luxurious experience while respecting the environment.
Beyond the Hotel Walls: Hotel Wallace encourages guests to explore the vibrant 15th arrondissement on foot or by bike. Their Orso Guide recommends local attractions and hidden gems, all within walking distance. This approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also allows guests to experience the authentic Parisian life beyond the tourist hotspots.
More Than Just a Stay, a Statement: Hotel Wallace is more than just a place to rest your head. It’s a statement about how luxury and sustainability can coexist beautifully. From the thoughtful design to the kind staff and innovative green practices, this hotel offers a unique and inspiring Parisian experience. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, Hotel Wallace will leave you feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and with a newfound appreciation for eco-conscious luxury.
This hotel is perfect for:
- Eco-conscious travelers seeking a luxurious experience
- Couples looking for a romantic getaway with a Parisian touch
- Solo travelers wanting to explore a vibrant neighborhood off the beaten path
- Anyone who appreciates thoughtful design and exceptional service
