For the art lover, a private collection has been specially curated for the
hotel by the French husband and wife team Stéphanie and Frédéric
Chambre. This collection subtly echoes Baccarat’s own history. In
addition to the bar’s museum-quality collection from the likes of
Robert Longo, Ellen von Unsworth, Joaquin Ferrer, Slim Aarons,
Jean-Philippe Aubanel, Segui, Nan Goldin and Eduardo Arroyo, more
than 100 custom-designed works of art are displayed throughout the
hallways and public areas of the Baccarat Hotel. In fact, Chambre
commissioned 11 artists to create statuettes using Baccarat’s iconic
Harcourt glass, each of which will be showcased in a vitrine at the
landing of each guest room. Other artists who contributed to the
hotel’s extraordinary interiors include Gilles Barbier, Bardula Studio,
François Houtin, Armand Jonckers, Eva Jospin, Mathieu Mercier and
Meret Oppenheim.
