ABOUT US

Famous for introducing cocktail bar culture to Paris in 2007, Experimental redefined hospitality with innovative cocktail bars and boutique hotels across Europe and beyond.

Each of our unique destinations blends design, creativity, and exceptional service, with exciting new openings on the horizon.
