The Marriott Hotel (Champs-Élysées) is located where the Louis Vuitton’s building was. The glass roof is beautiful ; it reminds me of the Sony center in Berlin (not a glass roof but very graphic and circular).
This late Art Nouveau style building was built by the architects Louis Bigaux and Koller for the trunk maker Georges Vuitton (Louis Vuitton’s son).
The “Vuitton building” was inaugurated in 1914 to house the Vuitton store on the lower floors and the dressmaker Jenny Sacerdote’s workshops on the upper floors.
The 7-story façade on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées and the roof of the building were listed in the supplementary inventory of Historical Monuments on November 23, 1992.
