This luxurious and enchanting suite, situated on rue Saint-Honoré, within the historic section of Hotel Costes, dating back to the late 18th century, has been beautifully restored by the renowned interior designer and architect Jacques Garcia, who has infused it with an eclectic, lavish, and dramatic ambiance.
