The HÔtel D exhibition is a regional hotellery experiment: it comprises 12 rooms that have been reinterpreted by designers, including an event room at the Geoffroy Guichard Stadium.
HÔtel falls fairly and squarely into the category of territorial development, and its purpose is to encourage global thinking about hotellery. What kind of alternative might we invent to replace the conventional hotel?
