From Open Call to Artist Collection
After reviewing hundreds of entries from around the world and going through multiple rounds of judging, we selected 15 incredible artists to bring our very first Call for Artists to life. The result? A final collection of 40 exclusive Hôtel Magique art prints — each a high-quality reproduction of original hand-painted artwork, unique and magique.
Almost every piece in the collection began with hand-drawn or hand-painted artwork. It was important to us that this collection carried the authenticity and human touch that we adore.

"I had the privilege of working closely with each artist throughout the process. It was one of the most inspiring journeys I’ve ever been part of. Some of the artists have since become friends, and we’ve continued to collaborate beyond this project — like Elise Eales of Di Lunedi. We’ve also helped connect artists to new opportunities, including design jobs outside of our brand. Several artists shared that they’ve received more attention and work after being discovered through Hôtel Magique. That’s exactly the kind of ripple effect we hope to create.
Of course, launching something new comes with its own lessons. Every step has been a valuable learning experience, helping us refine how we can create the most inspiring and rewarding journey for the artists we collaborate with, and I couldn't be more excited for all the magique ahead, working together with more artists, and celebrating their incredible work."
