Born in the tumultuous period before and after World War I, the term Art Deco does not just refer to a specific style but encompasses a range of aesthetic orientations. The main façade of Prince de Galles is wellproportioned and soft in line, giving a sense of stability and tranquility. Inside the hotel and guest rooms, the Art Deco style is characterized by simple lines, vibrant colors, and geometric elements inspired by cubism, gradually revealing the richness of Parisian culture. 

Red and white, black and gold, earthy browns and grays against the blue of the sky and ocean...these contrasting colors appear in pairs, softened by natural light and the designer‘s craftsmanship. Stripes of marble, Arabianstyle carpets, sycamore wood cabinets, and numerous vintage paintings and old photographs together create a harmonious and lively space.

The hotel‘s proudest suite is the unique Suite Lalique, designed by renowned designer Patrick Hellmann and named after the iconic French crystal brand. The modern minimalist framework is filled with the soul of Art Deco, shimmering with crystal brilliance in a luxurious black and gold tone. The striking beauty is both dazzling and full of respect and pride for history. The views of the Eiffel Tower and the SacréCœur outside the window perfectly fit with the decoration. Everything comes together naturally.

The hotel spares no effort in ensuring a perfect experience for guests. Both rooms and suites offer a variety of connecting combinations, allowing for a suite with up to four bedrooms, a rare feature in Paris and particularly accommodating for large families.

The hotel‘s Japanese restaurant, Akira Back, is named after head chef Akira Back. He was born in South Korea and immigrated to Colorado, United States with his parents in the 1980s and worked as a professional snowboarder for several years. Influenced by one of the best local sushi chefs, Kenichi Kanada, he switched from his snowboard to a sushi board. After years of apprenticeship under his mentor, he opened his own restaurant in the competitive culinary scene of Las Vegas. His culinary journey has taken him to over a dozen countries and earned him praise from the Michelin Guide. His ambition to challenge diners‘ tastes with fresh flavors has brought him to Prince de Galles.

Starting from the fall of 2023, Norbert Tarayre, a legendary chef, has taken over as head chef of Restaurant & Bar 19.20. In 2012, he appeared on the French TV show Top Chef showcasing his rich and innovative dishes, leading to a decade of his screen fame. Now, at Prince de Galles, he focuses on creating dishes that evoke memories of Belle Époque, aligning perfectly with the hotel‘s characteristics and marking a significant milestone in his career.
