The legendary director envisioned this stunning penthouse for the five-star Lutetia on the Left Bank
Launched this month, the St. Germain Penthouse by Coppola was designed in collaboration with iconic filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who, along with his daughter and fellow filmmaker, Sofia Coppola, is a longtime regular of the hotel. The introduction of the room completes the hotel’s collection of seven Signature Suites, each of which pays tribute to a theme or person who exemplifies Paris, such as Haute Couture and Josephine Baker.
Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte the suite honors both its magical Left Bank location and the cinematic art of the director, with hand chosen art works from Coppola’s personal collection as well as unique film memorabilia decorating the space. On entering the suite, guests will first encounter a generously sized living room extending onto a furnished terrace. An opulent bedroom next door with master bathroom in Carrera marble and walk in wardrobe completes this level.
The architect's distinct hand can be felt at work throughout with bespoke lighting and furniture throughout. No less impressive, the director's choices are just as plentiful, offering a one-of-a-kind tour of this creative icon’s cultural and family life with scripts, stills and personal photos. A family portrait and sculptures from Coppola’s private collection reflect the personal man while film stills, cameras and the original pages from his copy of Mario Puzo’s novel The Godfather, annotated in preparation of the film illustrate his career and legendary works. Further details of other specific items with explanatory notes by Coppola himself can be found overleaf.
