International Openings – W Paris Opera, Paris, France

Located across the street from Garnier Opéra House, the hotel intends to represent a dynamic dialogue between the historic facade of the 1870s Haussman-era building in which it is set, the sophistication of Paris and the dynamic DNA of the W brand from New York. The hotel's design revolves around the Spark, an oversized, backlit, digital undulating wall, which defines the central core of the building and weaves through the public and private spaces.
