Piscine Molitor Hotel, Paris

COMMISSIONED: 2014
PROJECT: Agence Derbesse Architectes, Cabinet Jacques Rougerie, Cabinet Alain-Charles Perrot
BUILDING MAINTENANCE: Colony Capital
SURFACE: 13 000 M²

After 25 years of closure, the Molitor swimming pool was reborn from the ashes! The renovation of these 13,000 m², led by Linkcity together with Bouygues Construction, has transformed the former swimming pool into a high-end hotel and sports complex. Modernity met the spirit of art deco, introduced by the designer of the original swimming pool - Lucien Pollet.

The indoor winter pool, its double glass roof and two cabin galleries with blue doors have been rebuilt, as has the outdoor summer pool. The swimming pool is adjacent to the 5-star MGallery hotel, offering 124 rooms on three floors and a restaurant for 90 guests. Molitor also has a Health Center with two swimming pools (sauna/Turkish bath), fitness rooms and treatment and massage cabins.

Special feature: the hotel was placed on spring boxes to dampen the vibrations caused by the adjacent subway line. All these services have been approved by the architect of the Monuments of History.
