“Maison Heler was born of a surreal, poetic tale I imagined. It is a hotel conceived as a habitable work of art, a literary principle crystallized in matter." Ph.S

Maison Heler is born. A strong symbol of the city of Metz, a monolithic 9 – story building is overlooked by a house with stunning views, whose architecture is reminiscent of 19th-century Metz mansions.

Maison Heler invites the entire world – curious onlookers, neighborhood regulars, seasoned travelers, occasional wanderers, and local and visitors alike to step into the imaginative universe of its mysterious owner Manfred Heler. A journey through his life, from the earth to his house perched atop. A delightful escape designed to live, dream, reflect, and love.

Philippe Starck gives birth to a wonderful tale: “The Meticulous Life of Manfred Heler”, a novel imagined by the creator and published by Allary Éditions. This poetic project tells the adventures of Manfred Heler, a man with a contemplative and meticulous mood, devoted to new inventions, perpetually marveling, and seeking to charm his fantasized beloved, Rose.

With Maison Heler, a new page in contemporary hospitality is written today in Metz.
