HOTEL TRIBE

Just steps away from the dynamic business district of La Défense, where contemporary towers shape the skyline of western Paris, a new hotel has joined the evolving story of this constantly transforming area: TRIBE Paris La Défense.

Created in the 1960s and now recognized as Europe’s largest business district, La Défense continues to reinvent itself through architecture and design. The TRIBE hotel is part of this evolution, offering a modern and welcoming environment designed for today’s travelers—whether visiting for business or leisure.

Inside the hotel rooms, one detail quietly captures attention. On the walls, a luminous object combines discretion with graphic presence. It is more than a lighting fixture; it contributes to the balance of the room and enhances the overall guest experience.

This lighting piece was designed and supplied by the brand ARPEL, which had the honor of contributing to the hotel’s interior design. For the entire ARPEL team, being involved in such a project is a genuine source of pride. Helping illuminate a place that welcomes visitors from around the world every day is both a privilege and a responsibility.

The hotel selected the CYCLOPES wall lights, luminaires designed to combine functionality with elegant design. Each fixture integrates several uses in a single object: ambient lighting for the room, a precise reading light ideal for using a smartphone, tablet or laptop, or simply for enjoying a good book in comfort.

Beyond its practical role, the CYCLOPES wall light also acts as a true design element. Its luminous presence enhances the walls and contributes to the visual identity of the room, creating a warm and contemporary atmosphere.

For ARPEL, participating in the TRIBE Paris La Défense project goes far beyond supplying lighting fixtures. It represents the opportunity to help shape the atmosphere of a place where travelers, entrepreneurs and international guests meet every day—an achievement that the entire ARPEL team is proud to be part of.
