hotels in Roissypôle
Paris, France
In Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, the Roissypôle business
district offers more than 230,000 m² of offices and
2,200 hotel rooms available by the end of 2014. As air
traffic keeps growing and the construction of a fourth
terminal was planned, Roissypôle’s development is
in full swing. Winner of a March 2011 competition
hosted by the Paris Airports, on a 4,102 m² space, Arte
Charpentier Architectes has designed two distinct
hotels for the ACCOR group: a building housing an
IBIS STYLES (308 rooms) hotel on the corner of the
Lisbon and New York streets and a building for the
prestigious PULLMAN (305 rooms) chain implanted
along the la Haye street - that has also been designed
according to its angle with the New York street.
The hotel project was designed to seamlessly integrate
within its nearby environment, in articulation with
the “Dome” and the future nearby tramway terminal.
Right in front of the train exit, the two IBIS STYLES
and PULLMAN hotels share the same kind of outline
and their frame are innovative. Despite its thin
silhouette and irregular facade in front of the Dome,
the hotel center creates a strong visual impact, making
those buildings appear as doors to the city.
The gap between the hotels creates a convivial space
that is partially protected by a glassing in the form
of flower petals; a true catalyst for city life, a place
to drink, to share moments or just go through. The
street level is lively. The activities offered generate
commercial activity. The two hotels’ reception areas
