Le Bristol Paris, the epitome of luxurious accommodations, has revealed its newly transformed Azur Terrace Suite in partnership with renowned Vallauris artist Agnès Sandahl. The suite, featuring a spacious terrace overlooking the hotel's elegant courtyard garden, has undergone a breathtaking redesign under the creative direction of Agnès Sandahl.

As part of Le Bristol Paris' ongoing renovation of its Signature Suites, the Azur Terrace Suite stands out as an exceptional offering. With a generous 115-square-meter terrace adorned with trees, the suite has been entirely reimagined to showcase Agnès Sandahl's artistic universe. Collaborating with Narcisa and Elvira Oetker, the hotel's owners, Agnès Sandahl brings her unique creative style to Le Bristol Paris for the first time.

Art takes center stage in the suite, as Agnès Sandahl immersed herself in the surroundings before embarking on her artistic endeavor. The artist spent three full days and nights in the Azur Terrace Suite, capturing its distinctive ambiance and translating it into her commissioned works. The interior of the suite is adorned with three exquisite Agnès Sandahl paintings, complemented by a stunning fresco crafted using Chinese ink and gold leaf.

A highlight of the suite is the magnificent terrace, a hidden gem that serves as an elevated extension of Le Jardin Français below. Lined with various plants and flowers, including Lily of the Nile, roses, jasmine, and wisteria, which are also found in Le Bristol's courtyard garden, the terrace offers a serene sanctuary. Agnès Sandahl has created a bespoke ceramic fountain and a ceramic tabletop, paying homage to the artistic heritage of Vallauris, where she maintains her studio and gallery.

Narcisa Oetker expresses her delight, stating, "We designed the terrace as a private garden, and Agnès Sandahl added the twist to the space by putting art and nature in perfect harmony."

Inside the Azur Terrace Suite, guests will discover contemporary interiors filled with natural light. Narcisa and Elvira Oetker have curated a soft color palette of blues, greys, and beige, allowing the Sandahl artworks, solid oak Herringbone parquet floor, Phillip Jeffries wall coverings, and luxurious interior fabrics and accessories by Loro Piana, Pierre Frey, and Schumacher to take center stage. The addition of new lighting fixtures by Vaughan adds a contemporary touch, while Japanese shades on the French doors leading to the terrace infuse a hint of refined eclecticism.

Elvira Oetker explains their approach, saying, "Our mantra is to keep the classic DNA of Le Bristol. Our mother-in-law Maja Oetker taught us the timeless style, and we are adding a bit of contemporary touch."

The redesigned Azur Terrace Suite at Le Bristol Paris invites guests to indulge in a seamless blend of art, nature, and refined elegance, promising an unforgettable stay in the heart of the city.
