Naturally, ritual is fundamental at the Roch Hotel & Spa. Including in the aesthetic of the building and its interiors. It is no coincidence that Sarah Lavoine – an acclaimed Parisian style icon – designed this 5-star boutique hotel in collaboration with award-winning architect Vincent Bastie.
With the aim of imbuing every detail with an allure of comfort, warmth and Ville Lumière spirit, Lavoine has translated her personal vision of hospitality based on a private apartment, bringing together all those materials, colours, patterns and small details that you would want to find at home. Even in the common spaces and reception area, where the designer plays with the effects of natural light on deep colours that have become the hallmark of her style: black that contrasts with pastel shades, “Sarah blue” and dotted bright brick red.
All of the spacious rooms feature a mix of timeless elegance and contemporary style, with pieces directly designed by the creator – including the mirrors, rugs made by Chevalier Éditions and the headboard of the bed – , furniture designed by Cassina, sophisticated Ressource paintings and ceramic compositions by Maison Jars on the walls. In the bathrooms, the Maiolica resembles Moroccan zellige decorations, beside Carrara marble and Kaldewei bath tubs and wash basins. The furniture designed by the Gamfratesi duo are dominant elements. There are many technological features, such as interactive tablets for keeping guests informed about services and communicating the needs of the moment, Marshall bluetooth acoustic speakers with a vintage style and flat-screen TVs. Finally, guests must absolutely experience the regenerating effects of the pool, inside the spa, which is covered with black mosaics and lime stone, as well as the Technogym equipment, with the optional help from a sports coach.
