HOTEL LILOU

GUBI & Studio Haddou Dufourq Hyeres, France

Seamlessly weaving together different design eras, Lilou pays homage to Hyères’ heritage as a classic Côte d’Azur retreat – an in-demand destination of the European glitterati from the late 1800s onwards, who flocked to its sparkling azure coast in search of indulgent escape.

HYÈRES’ HISTORY OF HOSPITALITY

First opened as a hotel in 1890, the building is now a vision of owner David Pirone and the Parisian design studio Haddou Dufourcq. Together, they transformed what was a blank canvas into a 37-bedroom celebration of Hyères’ hospitality story, combining graphic art deco designs with Palladian elements and touches of 1920s tropical bohemianism.
