Hôtel Monte Cristo – 4* · Paris 5th

In the heart of the 5th arrondissement, a stone’s throw from the Jardin des Plantes, the Hôtel Monte Cristo is one of the most singular addresses in Paris. The whole world of Alexandre Dumas inhabits the place, with décor of rare richness, between exoticism and a spirit of adventure.

An incredible place: 50 rooms with orientalist décor, Bar 1802 — the largest rum bar in France, named among the 100 most influential bars in the world — and a 15-metre pool surrounded by exotic plants.

Hotel photographer in Paris: Hôtel Monte Cristo, Paris 5th

The Hôtel Monte Cristo, a 4-star hotel from the Les Hôteliers Impertinents group, is in the 5th arrondissement, a stone’s throw from the Jardin des Plantes. The whole place is built around the world of Alexandre Dumas: rooms with orientalist décor, a 15-metre pool surrounded by plants and Bar 1802, billed as the largest rum bar in France.

Such rich décor is a real asset, but it has to be photographed methodically: choosing framings carefully so the image stays readable, and handling very different lighting moods from one space to the next without losing the brand’s identity.

What this shoot brings to the hotel

Images for each of the hotel’s worlds. Bar 1802: the menu, the rum bottles, the hanging glasses, the bartender at work. The spa: the illuminated pool. The rooms: breakfast in bed, a branded carafe and cup, a notepad on green marble, a vintage lamp, and scenes of life — a guest putting on make-up or reading a magazine, heels hanging from the door handle, a poodle on the bed. Tight framings that let a very rich décor breathe and make the hotel’s identity instantly recognisable.
