The fusion of two great talents

The Grand Hotel brand proudly bears the mark of two illustrious names in architecture: internationally acclaimed architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte (behind the Chalets) and the Aix-en-Provence-based interior designer Olivier Frémont (overseeing the entire site).

Renowned for designing the Richelieu wing of the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and the Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha.

Olivier Frémont: Creator of Atmospheres

Our story with Olivier Frémont, an Aix-en-Provence native by choice and at heart, transcended professional realms, blossoming into a profound connection. 

Since the project’s inception, Frémont has crafted the unique “Grand Hotel atmosphere,” infusing each of the three distinct environments with the Studio Frémont signature  – a style that’s effortlessly chic, sleek, and relaxed, ensuring a sense of continuity throughout.
