Hotel Lumen was designed by Mr. Herman Bal with the help of designers Alanin Daronian and Claudio Colucci.  Hotel Lumen Paris Louvre adopts a Neo-Baroque style, interpreting the concept of intimacy with a magic touch of modernity. With its original and decidedly trendy decor and an atmosphere of discreet luxury, you can be swept away by the soft, melancholy light of a Parisian afternoon, with its thousands of shades of gray, or abundant light that will satisfy your need for tranquility.
