An Architectural Narrative of Drama and Craftsmanship

Under the artistic direction of Walter Butler, Mary Bjorg has curated an environment of true Parisian luxury. The venue’s design is anchored by five primary mosaics designed by Dimitri Rybaltchenko, famous for his collaborations with the French luxury house Hermès.

The visual centerpiece is a striking, bespoke tiger mosaic by the renowned Italian atelier SICIS. Born from Walter Butler’s creative vision, this piece which required over 1,000 hours of meticulous craftsmanship depicts a flying tiger traveling from Paris to the Burj in Dubai.

A palette of deep red tones layered with gold accents establishes a warm, enveloping atmosphere throughout the venue. Plush velvets, brass detailing, mirrors, marble, and wood are meticulously layered to create intimacy and visual richness.

The venue unfolds across multiple levels, including a private mezzanine, offering guests elevated vantage points over the experience below while reinforcing a sense of exclusivity and discovery.

Lighting plays a defining role in shaping the atmosphere, combining Murano glass elements, crystal, gold-leaf finishes, and softly diffused illumination to create an immersive environment where light, texture, and movement heighten the overall experience.

An Exclusive Champagne Heritage

Further elevating the experience, Paris Paradis is the only venue in Dubai to exclusively serve Laurent-Perrier Héritage Champagne, a cuvée that embodies finesse, balance, and the enduring savoir-faire of the Maison. This exclusive partnership sets Paris Paradis as a destination rooted in French heritage and the art of celebration.
