At the heart of the 1st arrondissement, a short walk from the Comédie Française, the Drawing Hotel opened its doors on February 27th. This 4-star boutique hotel is inspired by an original concept. Each room gives a place of honour to contemporary art. The hotel’s manageress, Carine Tissot, is also director of the fair called “Drawing Now Paris”. She has given six artists “carte blanche” to decorate the walls with their creations. Drawing Hotel, 17 rue Richelieu, Paris 1 (01 45 38 51 15).
