Hôtel Lutetia is a legendary institution located in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district, renowned for its rich history and timeless elegance. Established in 1910, Lutetia is the only palace hotel located on the left bank, and has welcomed a host of illustrious guests, from literary giants to cultural icons, making it a true symbol of Parisian luxury. This vintage bread and butter plate is a piece of that history.
An elegant piece of porcelain tableware, this small plate is rimmed with black and pink, with a slightly irregular finish, creating a modern feeling. The classic Lutetia typography heads the plate, creating a nice contrast and reflecting the mix of modernity and heritage found at the hotel today. The plate, which was designed by the legendary French fashion designer Sonia Rykiel, was produced by manufacturer Bauscher Weiden.
This plate embodies Lutetia's fashion-forward elegance and luxury, bringing a touch of flair to any dining table.
The Hôtel Lutetia, established in 1910 by Madame Boucicaut, is a historic institution located on the Left Bank of Paris. Its name, Lutetia, refers to the Roman city that once stood where Paris now exists. As the only palace hotel on the Left Bank, it represents a pivotal moment in architectural history, straddling the transition from Art Nouveau to Art Deco.
The hotel's facade is a beautiful blend of both styles, adorned with Art Nouveau decorative details like ribbons of foliage and playful cherubs, while its Art Deco structure embraces symmetrical design and a sleek aesthetic.
Over the years, Lutetia has hosted an array of illustrious guests, from literary giants to cultural icons such as Hemingway, Charlie Chaplin, and Picasso. If its walls could talk, they would recount tales of elegance, struggle, survival, and rebirth.
Today, it stands as a monument to Parisian history, welcoming visitors from around the world to experience its timeless charm. With its stunning décor, modern facilities, and iconic location, Hôtel Lutetia offers a sophisticated atmosphere for both relaxation and socialising.
