What I can see

Luxembourg Hotel has morphological influences from French classicism and especially the Seconde Empire. Its corner is tower-shaped and the plant themed decorative elements are particularly emphasized.

What I can't see

It was designed by Eli Modiano and the influences of modernism had already been evident through the rational use of space. Recently renovated by DM Architects, the decoration is contemporary, but respects the history of the building with references to the past. Moreover, the layout of the spaces is even more functional, so that the building meets modern needs.
