Architecture 54
This summer, Architecture 54 is delivering two exceptional hotels in the idyllic setting of the calanques near Marseille.
The Hotel Bleu in Carry Le Rouet is a complete hotel concept imagined by Pascale Bartoli and Thierry Lombardi as an immersion in the Mediterranean and around the color of vacation. A color that has also inspired numerous artists gathered around Marie Veidig to decorate this nautical setting.
At the opposite end of the Côte Bleu, in the renowned port of Cassis, the Hôtel Lieutaud celebrates its rebirth in this legendary location. In a delicate décor evocative of the 1950s and yachting, we once again find an artistic journey inspired by the calanques. In the Lobby, Elsa Noyon’s sail shows us a sail on which she has drawn a map of this legendary site. Based on the calanques of Cassis, she has created an exclusive series of drawings for the rooms, associated with works by Liam Stevens, Bonnefrite and Prudence Dudan.
Passionate about art and design, the architects at Architecture 54 have combined their talents to create unique, welcoming contemporary spaces.
Architecture de collection
Architecture de Collection is a real estate agency dedicated exclusively to the remarkable architecture of the 20th and 21st centuries, and is developing a project that is unique in France, based on a cultural ambition: to work towards the transmission of modern and contemporary architectural heritage. Based in Paris and Marseille, the agency is run by a team of art historians and real estate professionals. By presenting for sale properties signed by the greatest architects, the agency promotes architecture in the manner of an art gallery: historical, technical and artistic understanding are at the heart of its approach. Through its cultural activities (such as the architectural tours and the Archinovo Prize dedicated to contemporary home architecture), the project federates a French and international community of “collectors”, for whom architecture rhymes with works of art for living.
Le Conservateur
Founded in 1844, Le Conservateur mutual associations are today one of the major players in the patrimonial market, offering unique solutions that have proved their worth in the field, such as the tontine, a collective savings solution that brings together groups of savers in the form of an association.
“Patronage is first and foremost a tool for cultural and artistic development, enabling the preservation and transmission of cultural heritage. These values are perfectly in line with our strategic vision of asset management for business owners and professionals. In both areas, the aim is to give value to time. And that’s why joining the Circle of Patrons of Art-o-rama and encouraging young contemporary art and design artists seemed an obvious choice.”

Influenced by the design and architecture of the 1920s, the bottle’s unique design, with glass striations representing the sun’s rays on the vines, is timeless, designed to transcend trends and be endlessly reused to become a true objet d’art. In 2024, Ultimate Provence teamed up with Q bouteilles to unveil its first tableware collection, combining upcycling of its iconic bottle with contemporary design.

The hotel’s bistronomic restaurant, Le Capucin, run by the talented Chef Noël Baudrand, offers an intimate yet relaxed culinary experience. Guests can enjoy inventive, refined cuisine, prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
