Hôtel Folie · When the spirit of architectural follies comes to Paris

In Paris’s 11th arrondissement, Hôtel Folie has been given a makeover with the renovation of its 43 rooms and living spaces. The project was carried out for the SOHOMA group and its subsidiary ORSO Hôtels while the hotel remained open, with every stage of the works planned to keep the business running.

Cyrielle & Partners, a Montreuil-based agency specialising in site supervision and founded by Cyrielle Jouffret, coordinated the design phase, prepared the tender documents, selected the contractors and directed the works. These assignments were carried out rigorously to ensure the project ran smoothly.

Alongside Giovanna de Bosredon (interior architect and founder of AUGURI STUDIO), the hotel now reveals a distinctive identity, inspired by the spirit of architectural follies. Materials, colours and furniture create a warm setting where velvet, wood, vintage finds and graphic prints come together in an atmosphere that is elegant, soft and welcoming.

The communal areas invite guests to linger: a bright lounge, an intimate bar and spaces designed to welcome travellers and local residents alike. Upstairs, the 43 rooms, each decorated differently, all have their own personality, with every detail helping to create a unique experience.

To manage such a demanding project, carried out without interrupting the hotel’s operations, Cyrielle & Partners relied on the Archireport app. Contractor follow-up, coordination of works, site reports and information sharing: all the teams were able to work with a clear view of the project’s progress.

The result lives up to the project’s ambitions: a hotel with a strong character, where every space has been designed to offer a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere full of personality.
