Practical details

AI-generated artistic illustration. Ink and watercolour drawing of the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia seen from the crossroads at street level: an almost white stone Art Nouveau building that turns at two corners, the main one a flat front crowned by a sculpted pediment with an arched opening and a flagpole, with three long wrought-iron balconies and small oculi, then, past a short façade with a dark glazed shopfront, a second corner under a small slate dome; a slate roof with dormers and chimneys, round-arched glazed arcades along the boulevard and a dark-framed entrance.
