Luxury Hotels Atlas / The Maison / Evok Collection
Evok Collection hotels
Designers give each house its own world, from classical Paris rooms to rooftop sports clubs.
Evok gives each hotel a name and a design identity of its own, with Nolinski, Brach, and Cour des Vosges drawing on very different buildings and creative voices. Founded in Paris in 2014, the group works with designers including Philippe Starck and Jean-Louis Deniot to bring new life to addresses in Paris, Venice, and Madrid.

History
Evok chooses a design voice for each building. Jean-Louis Deniot gave Nolinski a classical Parisian expression, while Philippe Starck retained Brach’s industrial structure and added a sports club, pool, and rooftop garden. Yann Le Coadic and Alessandro Scotto brought their restoration approach from Place des Vosges to Venice’s former stock exchange.
