Paris’ Le Royal Monceau hotel is now offering an art concierge to help visitors who find themselves overwhelmed by the city’s sheer amount of art. The Le Royal Monceau hotel began its focus on art after its 2008 remodel, headed by world-renowned designer Philippe Starck. Starck’s redesign included inviting artists to exhibit their works in the hotel’s public spaces.
The hotel’s in-house art expert is Domoina de Brantes. She is available to share her wealth of art knowledge with guests and to organize tours, including a private tour of the exhibitions at Le Centre Georges Pompidou. In addition to offering up knowledge of classical and modern art, de Brantes is also well versed in the city’s street art scene.
