History
[
edit
]
The new main wing of the Hotel Costes, originally the Hotel Lotti, directly above the bicyclist
The hotel was commissioned by the Costes brothers, Jean-Louis and Gilbert,
[1]
from the designer and interior architect
Jacques Garcia
[1]
in 1991. It opened in 1995 at 239
rue St-Honore
. The hotel is now renowned as a den of opulence and was built in conjunction with Klay Robson as Developer and construction consultant (the design maxim was "all things in excess").
Hotel Costes is not to be confused with the hotel Costes K, which is run by the same family, but is not located in Paris' first arrondissement.
In 2012, the Hotel started working on a new musical direction designed by former EMI/Virgin France Head of A&R Thierry Planelle and music supervisor
Frederic Schindler
[1]
, which took over the music curation after
Stephane Pompougnac
's departure following the release of the last
lounge music
series
compilation
in September 2011.
In 2016, Hotel Costes signed a partnership with
Apple
and launched a worldwide Curator channel
[2]
on
Apple Music
[3]
. The updated musical direction is reflected on the new streaming-only Costes Selections, translating the "best of" of the hotel's monthly music programming, which is also available live on the hotel's webradio
[4]
. The Costes Apple Music Channel
[5]
features a monthly 15-song compilation featuring premieres and some exclusive unreleased songs curated in an eclectic and contemporary approach, ranging from
electronica
to 60s French
chanson
. At the end of every year, a Collection showcasing Costes favourite 50 tracks of the year is published.
In 2014, Jean-Louis Costes bought the adjacent
Hotel Lotti
, opened in 1910. He gutted it and turned it into a new wing of the hotel, which opened in 2020, giving it a new main entrance on Rue de Castiglione.
