Résidence Bouchardon Is Steeped in Seventies Eclecticism

Plenty of hotels in Paris lean into Beaux-Arts grandiosity, but Résidence Bouchardon, in the 10th Arrondissement, offers a refreshing change of scenery. Interiors by Bernard Dubois, a collaborator of Courrèges, Lanvin, and Zadig & Voltaire, bring a plethora of retro-cool wood elements to the fore. Warm-toned floor-to-ceiling wall paneling, blocky furniture, and a Bauhaus-like dedication to how form follows function proves transportive. Dubois sought to take guests “far from Paris,” even evoking mountain chalets instead of the cosmopolitan hub. In the spirit of form and function, each of the eleven rooms is styled as a residence, complete with a kitchenette, laundry facilities, and separate living areas.
