The house
HiltonSurrealist rooftop tableau
Whimsical surrealism unfolds inside, balancing spartan concrete corridors with the warmly nostalgic, log-stacked comfort of an eccentric rooftop salon.
“The project is striking and original—the 14-story tower will be topped with an 18th-century-style Alsatian house and rooftop garden.”
What it’s good at

A monolithic concrete tower crowned by a traditional Lorraine mansion with nineteen custom stained-glass windows.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Inside, natural wood, terracotta, and stained glass create warmth against the building’s monumental frame, while the rooftop setting opens panoramic views across Metz.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The revitalised district neighbours modern cultural landmarks and historic stone streets, placing guests within easy reach of cathedral spires and galleries.
The rooms
Minimalist concrete ceilings and pale drapery frame the bedrooms, accented by leather seating and cryptic word games to decipher.
The gym
- Gym
- Fitness center equipped with cardiovascular and strength-training equipment.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
La Maison de Manfred
Stained-glass windows by Ara Starck illuminate the rooftop dining room, where Alexandre Monce serves globally inspired sharing plates.
Inside, fiction continues to bleed into form. Warm, tactile details add a sense of familiarity – think natural wood and leather furniture...
At the table
On the ground floor, La Cuisine de Rose serves seasonal Lorraine farm produce across an open garden terrace.
How it began
Philippe Starck conceived the property around his fictional novel about Manfred Heler, an inventor whose family mansion lifted into the sky.
