The Grand Magic Hotel In Paris Is Living Up To Its Name

A unique immersive experience near Disneyland Paris, the Grand Magic Hotel invites guests to plunge into a world between reality and imagination. Whimsical common areas designed by Oscar Lucien Ono, founder of Maison Numéro 20, in collaboration with Moment Factory and Tétris Design & Build, set the tone for the first-ever digital immersion hotel.

The Grand Magic Hotel is the spirit of a palace revisited in a surreal, playful, contemporary aesthetic; a quiet homage to The Grand Budapest Hotel. In shades of bold colors, the sleek aesthetic evokes Wes Anderson’s playful and melancholic spirit. A gentle disturbance of color, composition, and framing defines this cheerful hotel as a cinematic journey.

The spaces in alcoves were reimagined by Lucien Ono using arches, lights, and vibrant colors in color blocking from red to blue. It’s a graphic universe with a carefully crafted aesthetic that promotes immersion in the decor.

Set in a fantastic world of four acts at the border of reality and imagination, the common areas can be transformed with the wave of a magic wand into a water palace, a French garden, an enchanted forest or a poetic stroll in the clouds.
