Le Pigalle: SoPi’s New, Trendy Hang-Out Spot
"Tapping into the spirit of the neighbourhood it calls home, Le Pigalle Hotel captures Pigalle's essence, while interpreting it in its own enthusiastic way. With parties, DJ sets and table dances, a vinyl library and a newspaper & book kiosk, the soul of Pigalle lives on within these walls. The same goes for the items available at the hotel, all of which are sourced locally: the croissants served at breakfast come from the bakery next door, the beer from a small Pigalle brasserie and the flowers from a nearby florist. StylisedOwner Valéry Grégo has a formula for fabulousness; the hotel's eclectic décor gives the impression that everything is in its place, with elements not so much artfully arranged as serendipitously thrown together in a way that seems to flow effortlessly. This natural, spontaneous effect is down to the work of two talented architects from the Parisian agency Festen – Charlotte de Tonnac and Hugo Sauzay – and enhanced by the contributions of numerous artists and artisans from the neighbourhood, whose work is on display in the hotel. Objects picked up by an antique dealer in Saint Ouen are juxtaposed with the classical attributes of the building's structure and the idiosyncrasies that are characteristic of this once deprived area – terrazzo, posters and photos by current artists or collectives, and ultra-contemporary furniture." - The MICHELIN Guide
