# Surrealist Parisian Hotels Hotel Exquis in Paris Boasts a Vibrant and Eccentric Decor By Rebecca Byers | Published 2015-12-21 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-exquis References: [retaildesignblog.net](http://retaildesignblog.net/2015/12/19/hotel-exquis-by-exquise-esquisse-paris-france/) Located in Paris' hip 11th arrondissement, the Hotel Exquis is a dynamic new accommodation inspired by the Surrealist art movement. Hotel Exquis is a hotel of Elegancia and is another joint project between the brand and frequent collaborator Julie Gauthron. Hotel Exquis boasts only 42 rooms that are categorized into eight Surrealism-inspired themes, with each room featuring its own art installation from various artists. The vibrant hotel goes above and beyond even the most cultured boutique hotel with its immersive decor. Featured artists include Jean Faucheur and Surfil, Monsieur Lui and Thom Thom. Each room at the luxurious hotel features a mix of bespoke and vintage furniture in a unique blend that adequately sums up this highly original 11th quarter of the city of lights. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Surrealist-inspired Hotels:** The trend shows an opportunity for hotels to incorporate art movements to create an immersive decor experience. - **Boutique Hotels:** This trend towards boutique hotels is an opportunity for smaller, unique hotels to differentiate and compete against large chains. - **Collaborative Art Installations:** Hotels can collaborate with artists to create unique installations in each room, offering guests a one-of-a-kind experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels can differentiate themselves and attract customers by incorporating immersive art installations and unique decor into their properties. - **Art:** Artists can partner with hotels to create immersive installations and gain exposure to a new audience. - **Interior Design:** Hotels can work with interior designers to create bespoke and vintage furniture mixes to offer a unique, immersive experience to guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surrealist Story-Backed Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-heler.md) - [Mansion-Topped Surreal Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marison-heler.md) - [Whimsically Designed Hotel Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cowley-manor-experimental.md) - [Retro Nightlife-Inspired Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-chteau-deau.md) - [Mountainside-Inspired Bespoke Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouchardon-hotel.md) - [Luxe Parisian Skyline Suites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sax-paris-hotel.md) - [Surrealist Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreams-is.md) - [Eclectic Paris Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-asa.md) - [Fashion-Forward Hotel Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soparis.md)
