press release june 2013

Mid-July 2013, the veil will be lifted on the Htel du Panthon

Since closing the hotel in February 2013, the HPRG label has been engaged in the complete renovation of one of the most exceptional establishments of the Left Bank, transforming it into a 4-star hotel with the aid of interior designer Valrie Manol.

The hotel is due to reopen in the second week of July 2013

Situated in the heart of the historic 5th arrondissement, just steps away from the Jardin du Luxembourg, and opposite the iconic Panthon, the hotel has decided to celebrate the great women of France, the ones who dared, the ones who loved, those with passion, those that decided their destiny - free, independent women. Valrie Manols project was not to imagine a literal retelling of their life stories, but to use these as the inspiration for sumptuous interiors that would evoke the past.

Where is Yvonne?
As often the case in their hotels, the HPRG label is once again supporting the photographic arts by commissioning talented photographers (Elene Usdin, Patrick Tourneboeuf, the duo Lucie Belarbi and Amlie Chassary, Sylvie Meunier (Instantans Ordinaires), and Belgian Fabrice Monteiro) to create 50 works that will be presented in the rooms and corridors of the hotel. A trail will be on offer, in which visitors use a magnifying glass to search the wedding photos hung on the walls of the basement, and try and find the person who is in every single one. This fun game will be called Where is Yvonne?
