The Dominican

Interior design Cloister-like comfort

Interior design Cloister-like comfort

Intellectually challenging corners of high art and rich textures combine with wide-open, well-lit spaces and the inspiring peace of a cloister-like setting.

The interiors were designed by the renowned Dutch design team FG Stijl, which won the prestigious Prix-Villegiature Paris for Best Interior Design in 2005. A stroll through the Monastery Corridor evokes an almost medieval feeling of elegance with original Belgian stone flooring, while The Grand Lounge, considered the heart of The Dominican, boasts impressive windows and metalwork.

Architecture Lens Ass

Medieval grandeur meets contemporaneity in a high-style homage to Dominican abbeys, Old-World Europe, and artistic invention.

Acclaimed French painter Jacques-Louis David lived—and painted—here, and his original façade has been integrated into the new construction by the Belgian architecture firm Lens Ass. As guests enter the lofty, high-ceilinged public spaces, their breath is taken away by the intricate details and by what the hotel has dubbed "dramatic intimacy".
