An Art Deco Haven Behind the Pink Façade of Avenue de Wagram

The Hôtel Mercedes, an Art Deco icon in the Wagram district, offers an immersive experience that begins long before you reach your room. Located at 128 Avenue de Wagram in the very chic 17th arrondissement, its powder-pink façade is a promise in itself. It’s an invitation to leave the Parisian hustle and bustle behind, just a short walk from the Place des Ternes and the Arc de Triomphe. When you push open the door, you're not just entering a hotel, but a time capsule that celebrates the 1930s with a wildly modern audacity. The question is no longer whether you want to treat yourself to a break, but which setting to choose for your story.

The lobby sets the tone: geometric lines, noble materials, and a hushed atmosphere that immediately inspires discretion. The fully renovated hotel has managed to preserve its soul while injecting a dose of pop culture. This is where the day's dilemma arises, a difficult choice for a couple seeking an escape: will you succumb to the powdery softness of the 'Florida Rose' room, or dive into the electric energy of the 'Miami Blue'? We investigated for you.

Round One: The Powdery Cocoon of the 'Florida Rose'

The Florida Rose Classic Room is an intimate and delicate cocoon, perfect for a sweet romantic surprise and whispered moments of connection. It is the choice of assertive tenderness. Upon entering this 9 to 13m² space, you are enveloped by a monochrome pink that, far from being aggressive, unfolds in subtle shades from powder pink to soft terracotta. The light, filtered by blackout curtains, creates an atmosphere of absolute refuge, a world apart where time seems to stand still.

The design is meticulously thought out. The velvet headboard, the spherical golden light fixtures, the curved furniture... everything contributes to creating a bubble of softness. This is the ideal room for reconnecting, for intimate conversations, for reading a book together, or simply enjoying the silence. It is not designed for exuberance, but for intimacy. It’s a setting that invites slowness and disconnection. For a first daytime date or to gently rekindle a flame, it's a flawless choice. You can easily imagine celebrating an anniversary here in complete privacy.

Round Two: The Energizing Shock of the 'Miami Blue'

The Miami Blue Deluxe Room is a jolt of positive energy, a bold backdrop for a getaway that rejects monotony and celebrates a pop, vibrant romance. As you cross the threshold of this more spacious room (up to 20m²), the contrast is striking. The electric, almost Klein blue that adorns the walls and headboard acts as a stimulant. It's an atmosphere that awakens the senses, inviting playfulness and audacity.

Here, the Art Deco inspiration mixes with a very '80s Miami Vice aesthetic. Touches of brushed brass, the graphic design of the furniture, and large mirrors reinforce this feeling of space and dynamism. This is the perfect room for a couple looking to break the routine, to surprise their partner with an unexpected proposition. The atmosphere is less about whispered confidences and more about laughter and lightheartedness. You can picture yourself putting on an upbeat playlist, sharing a drink while getting ready for an evening out, or simply soaking up the infectious energy. If the Florida Rose is a poem, the Miami Blue is a pop song. It is the choice of boldness, surprise, and an uninhibited sense of romance.
