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.

In Metz's dynamic Amphitheatre neighborhood, Maison Heler is opened for everyone. Out of the ordinary, resonating with its iconic museum neighbor, the Centre Pompidou-Metz, Philippe Starck imagined Maison Heler as an inhabitable, surreal and literary work of living art. The 9-storey monolithic building is overlooked by a house with unobstructed views, whose architecture is reminiscent of 19th-century residences in Metz.

104 rooms and suites, two restaurants, two bars and event spaces, Maison Heler is a unique and surprising hospitality experience that narrates the imaginary story of Manfred Heler. Living alone in a grand residence emblematic of 19th-century Lorraine architecture, he is a man with a contemplative and meticulous mood, devoted to new inventions, perpetually marveling, and seeking to charm his fantasized beloved, Rose.

These amazing adventures were brought together in a book dreamed up by Philippe Starck, “The Meticulous Life of Manfred Heler”, a new page in contemporary hospitality. “A concept in which surrealistic, poetic and fantastic work crystallizes in matter,” says Starck.
