« NEW PLACE TO BE 2010 »

Villa Empain
This Art Deco gem which was slumbering on avenue Roosevelt has been brought back to life by the impressive restoration work carried out by the Boghossian Foundation. The valuable wood panelling, the wrought ironwork and the mirrored marble have been restored to their full splendour. Dedicated to the dialogue between the cultures of the Far East and the West, Villa Empain can also be especially hired for private use and host up-market cocktail parties and gala dinners.
