Mandarin Oriental’s New $51,000-a-Night Apartment Is Now The Largest Suite in Paris

Spread out over nearly the entire 6^th floor, and offering view out over Rue Saint-Honore, The Parisian Apartment is currently the largest luxury suite in Paris, clocking in at 430 square-metre, with an additional 2,475 square-foot garden and terrace. The expansive hideaway (which took six months to create) has been designed by noted French agency Gilles & Boissier to evoke a Haussmann-style residence with Art Déco influences, making its style a bit more classic—though no less elevated—than the rest of the hotel’s more contemporary vibe.

Past the grand foyer are hallways leading to an ultra-modern chef’s kitchen with butler pantry, an office, two separate living rooms (one for entertaining, the other for lounging), a full dining room, and four bedrooms, including two master suites and one with a separate entrance, making it ideal for staff or security. Herringbone-patterned blonde parquet flooring, and leather-covered pivot doors, works by young Parisian artists, and custom designed Patrick Gilles furnishings can be seen throughout, along with 1900’s-style mouldings and wooden architectural features reminiscent of the 1930’s. And then there’s the terrace: A true gem to find in any city, the oversized outdoor space was created by landscape designers Christophe Gautrand & Associates, who sought inspiration in traditional French gardens. Surrounded by living walls and cleverly-placed trees, the terrace features multiple separate areas to lounge and relax, as well as a dining table for al fresco meals.
