The history of French animation is one of the longest in the history of design. The earliest animated films, dating back to the 19th century, have been created by French artists who pioneered techniques in early animation. In honor of France’s rich history of cartoon animation, these illustrations of symbols of ‘Parisian living’ supplement the visual identity of Hôtel Airbnb. From a glass of wine to a Parisian ally cat, these illustrations are romantic French motifs that incorporate the Airbnb logo.

French New Wave cinema has contributed hugely to the romanticization of the city of Paris. Stills from iconic movies like ‘Contempt’ and ‘Cleo de 5 à 7’ offer tasteful visual references and sweeten the romantic atmosphere of the Hôtel Airbnb.

Hotel room interiors are designed to mimic real Airbnb homestays in Paris.

Airbnb brings Paris to Manhattan

Airbnb brings Paris to Manhattan with their Parisian apartment-inspired hotel room interiors. Each hotel suite is named after the host that its room design is based on. You don’t have to go all the way to Paris to stay at Gemma & Lyron’s gorgeous art deco style apartment. It doesn’t get more authentic than that!
