3 Since its opening in 1910, Lutetia quickly became a place where the anonymous could be found alongside the famous, where art, philosophy, science and politics were continually created. The Left Bank is known for its nurturing of bold advances in literature, painting, sculpture and dance, and all of them found a home at Lutetia. The Set Hotels closed the doors of Lutetia in April 2014 and entrusted renowned architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte and his team to the restoration and renewing of the legendary Paris landmark with a brief to bring contemporary design to the hotel while preserving its heritage and unique charm.

6 The Left Bank is known for its nurturing of bold advances in literature, painting, sculpture and dance, and all of them found a home at Lutetia. Originally most associated with literature, just some of the historical and culturally significant figures who lived, worked and entertained at the hotel include Andre Gide and James Joyce who wrote "Ulysses" at the hotel with Ernest Hemingway acting as occasional editor, Samuel Beckett, André Malraux and Saint-Exupéry followed. This was just as true for the other arts. Picasso and Matisse took up residence, Josephine Baker was a regular, and during the 50 s and beyond the hotel and its bar became a key part of the emergence and celebration of jazz. Holding true to The Set s vision of creating environments that are beautifully composed for contemporary living, Lutetia will once again confirm its place as the Living Room of Paris.
