In the know

Our favourite rooms: Hotel Particulier’s suites have each been designed by a different modern artist, and all of them are packed with personality. We’d stay in ‘Tree with Ears’ for the name alone, but luckily it’s also hugely spacious, draped in tactile velvet and packed with arresting antiques. Pierre Fichefeux’s room ‘Poems & Hats’ is a nod to Magritte in black and white, with hats for lampshades and a clear glass wall separating the bedroom from the marble-fitted, mosaic-tiled bathroom. ‘Vitrine’, created by sculptor Philippe Mayaux is a saucier stay altogether, with its cabinet of highly suggestive blown-glass objects and a large steam room. The arboreal wallpaper in Jacuzzi-equipped ‘Vegetal’ makes you feel as though you’re sleeping in a light-dappled forest canopy, and huge two-bed loft suite ‘Curtain of Hair’ is marked by dramatic portrait photography and a claw-foot bath.
Packing tips: Your chosen artistic medium – paints, camera, or sculpting materials – the hotel is steeped in art, and some of the inspiration is bound to rub off.
Also: The garden – an unexpected delight in the midst of bustly Montmartre –is as much as work of art as the rest of the hotel. Landscaper Louis Bénech (who also created the Jardin des Tuileries) has woven the serene and leafy space with shady nooks and a tinkling fountain. ‘Very small’ pets only. That’s dogs, not gerbils. You can smoke in the garden.
