A HARMONY OF DESIGN ERAS – LILOU AND THE TIMELESS CHARM OF THE CÔTE D’AZUR

A place where history and modern design merge
Lilou is more than a room – it is a tribute to the history and timeless style of Hyères, a glamorous retreat on the Côte d’Azur. Since the late 1800s, this shimmering coastline has attracted Europe’s elite and artists seeking inspiration and relaxation. Today, Lilou captures this spirit of opulence, masterfully blending different design eras into a harmonious whole.
Tradition meets modernity – a journey through time

Lilou shows how different design styles can blend seamlessly. The interiors combine the splendor of bygone eras with modern elements, creating a unique ambience.
- Elegant borrowings from the Belle Époque: detailed ornaments and warm colors reflect the splendor of bygone times.
- Minimalist modernity: Clear lines and high-quality materials create deliberate contrasts and ensure a timeless aesthetic.
- Natural accents: The use of wood, stone and textiles creates a connection to the surrounding landscape of the Côte d’Azur.
A place that creates a sense of well-being

When designing Lilou, the focus was on the well-being of the guests. The harmonious color palette and carefully selected furniture invite you to relax and leave everyday life behind. Lilou is proof that design can have an emotional as well as a visual impact.
Lilou – A tribute to Hyères and its glorious past
Seamlessly weaving together different design eras
Lilou masterfully weaves together different design eras, paying homage to Hyères as one of the classic retreats on the Côte d’Azur. As early as the end of the 19th century, this region was a magnet for the European elite – artists, thinkers and aristocrats – who sought inspiration and relaxation here. Lilou captures this spirit with an impressive blend of timeless design elements, creating a place that combines tradition and modernity in perfect harmony.
Hyères‘ History of Hospitality – A tradition of hospitality
The history of the building dates back to 1890, when it was first opened as a hotel. Today, it is the work of owner David Pirone and the Parisian design studio
Haddou Dufourcq, who developed an impressive concept together. From a simple shell, a 37-room masterpiece was created that celebrates Hyères‘ rich history of hospitality.
The interior combines graphic Art Deco designs with Palladian elements and a touch of 1920s tropical bohemia. This blend gives the hotel a unique identity – a combination of luxurious glamor and relaxed elegance.
The Winter Garden – a Riviera-style oasis
The 200 square meter terrace of the Hotel Lilou pays homage to the famous 19th century Riviera vacation villas. With a Palladio-inspired pergola, bespoke frescoes and cabochon stones, it creates an atmosphere of relaxed luxury. The pool area, with its spaciousness and stylish design, invites you to experience the charm of times gone by while enjoying the Mediterranean breeze.
Mathieu Matégot’s Tropique Dining Chairs are the perfect complement to this ambience. With their curved lines and fringes, they bring lightness and elegance to the setting and complete the relaxed, airy character of the outdoor area.
