Sleep inside an art installation
Paris has always been dramatic, but this autumn, it’s officially gone full sci-fi. Le Meurice, the impossibly elegant Dorchester Collection hotel that’s been seducing artists for centuries, has teamed up with the design wizards at Things From. to create Suite 1835 - an immersive pop-up that’s both luxury stay and sensory hallucination.
Available from the 8th of October to the 31st of December, this suite isn’t just somewhere to dump your bags; it’s an interactive art installation where the furniture glows as you move, the carpet is made of aluminium, and the walls seem to hum with the future. Basically, it’s Versailles meets Blade Runner.
Guests can even wander into a neighbouring meditation room - think mirrored cube, AI-generated visuals that react to your “energy,” and a quadraphonic sound system.
Naturally, this kind of transcendental weirdness doesn’t come cheap - rooms start at AU$6,883 per night - but hey, enlightenment has never been part of the breakfast buffet. The silver lining? Some of the profits go toward scholarships at Ensaama, so at least your trip to another dimension helps fund the next generation of French designers.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience Paris through light, sound, and slightly trippy introspection, Le Meurice’s Suite 1835 is your one-way ticket to the future. Who wants in?
The experience invites guests into a 15-minute immersive meditation, guided by remote-controlled lighting, AI-generated visuals, a mirrored floor, and a rotating cube. You can book the room from now ’til the 8th of December.
