21 Jul 2017

Introducing irresistible places in international capitals, Evok Hôtels Collection treats epicureans to a collection of unique hotels artfully integrated into their surroundings. By adding the Nolinski Paris to its portfolio – which includes the Michelin star Restaurant du Palais Royal and the Hameau de la Volière – Evok Hôtels Collection shares its unique vision of luxuries.

In 2013, Evok began work on its very first Parisian hotels. Locations are carefully selected to offer authentic experiences, inspired by the spirit of emulation shared by investor Pierre Bastid and Managing Director Emmanuel Sauvage. Open to their neighbourhoods and immediate environment, each edgy establishment is tailormade by leading French interior designers. All are dedicated to creating emotion and fit to a different vision of luxury. Evok Hôtels Collection has revealed its first project, the Hameau de la Volière, three luxuriously chalets in Courchevel, boasting each with 6 rooms, a spa with a swimming pool, a dedicated butler and chef.

Two years ago, Nolinski Paris, a five-star hotel has opened on avenue de l’Opéra designed from top to bottom by French interior designer Jean-Louis Deniot. Near the Comédie Française and the Palais Royal, the hotel has 45 rooms including 9 suites decorated with unique tones and luxurious fabrics. It’s now a well-known place in Paris, thanks to a new style of Brasserie named Réjane where Parisians and travellers mix with businessmen sharing the same passion for unique places and traditional French dishes like leeks vinaigrette dressing, gratinated onion soup, prepared beef tartare, or a pan-sauted calf’s liver deglazed with balsamic. Desserts menu has been signed by Yann Brys, Best Craftsman of France. You can enjoy a traditional red fruits pavlova, or for food lovers, the Guanaja chocolate éclair. Réjane fans will be delighted to stop by Rej, the deli next to the restaurant, where the best bet is to pick up small plates, French charcuterie, salads or delicious cakes from chef pastry for a picnic during a sunny day in the Jardin du Palais Royal.
