Renaissance Hotels has expanded its presence in France with the launch of a new hotel, the Renaissance Aix-en-Provence Hotel, in Provence.
The new hotel is situated in the centre of the new Forum Culturel district, near to the Cours Mirabeau.
Renaissance Aix-en-Provence is a five-star hotel designed by Marseille architects Claude Sabin Nadjari and Rémy Saada, and features contemporary design along with a Provençal garden.
The property has 133 guest rooms and suites that have been developed by Julie Fuillet of the ‘From Here to There’ Design Studio and is based on the theme of bespoke craft with furniture created by French designer Christian Ghion.
With over 400 paintings and sculptures the hotel offers guests a collection of contemporary art curated by Isabelle Viatte of Via Crea agency, while the ‘Haut La Main!’ exhibit is brought to life through a special programme of events with artists, personalities and entertainers.
The hotel has selected chef Jean-Marc Banzo to offer a culinary experience in the hotel’s two restaurants – the Le Clos gourmet Mediterranean restaurant, and the bistro Le Comptoir du Clos, a terrace restaurant offering views of Provence.
The brand also conducts a special signature entertainment programme, the RLife Live event at its bar L’Avant-Scène.
