The project:
The Mercure Paris Butte Montmartre Basilique underwent a comprehensive renovation, transforming from an outdated economy hotel into a remarkable boutique property that exceeds both sustainability standards and guest expectations. The renovation project tackled significant construction challenges, including space constraints and structural complexities, to create a modern, stylish hotel while maintaining a focus on eco-friendly practices.
The renovation was driven by AccorInvest’s Think Circular approach, which emphasizes sustainability at every stage of the project. This methodology ensured that the hotel not only reduced its environmental footprint but also incorporated innovative solutions into the design. For example, construction materials were carefully selected to minimize waste, and energy-efficient technologies were integrated throughout the property, including in the lighting, heating, and cooling systems.
The hotel’s design features a blend of contemporary aesthetics with local influences, reflecting the vibrant atmosphere of Montmartre. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, offering a mix of comfort, functionality, and style that appeals to both business and leisure travelers. The public spaces are equally impressive, with a modernized lobby, lounge areas, and a charming café that embodies the Parisian spirit.
The renovation also focused on improving the guest experience, creating an inviting and personalized environment. The use of high-quality, locally sourced materials adds to the hotel’s unique character, while the thoughtful layout maximizes space and natural light.
By combining imaginative design with the latest technology and a strong commitment to sustainability, the Mercure Paris Butte Montmartre Basilique renovation sets a new benchmark in the hospitality industry. It delivers a stunning example of how hotels can evolve to meet modern standards while being environmentally responsible, ensuring an exceptional experience for international guests and local visitors alike.
The Hospitality Awards celebrate innovation and excellence and highlight the most creative initiatives in a sector that is constantly and rapidly changing hospitality.
