PYR was founded by Pierre-Yves Rochon in 1979 to create luxury hospitality and residential interior environments. Every aspect of the guest experience is enhanced by seamless integration of each property’s location, culture and history with its design. Our design philosophy centers on creating a refined, comfortable atmosphere that celebrates elegance and warmth while providing a timeless backdrop for an ever-changing modern culture. PYR has been entrusted with iconic historic landmarks as well as new, cutting-edge developments around the world as a direct result of the creative integrity, authenticity and craftsmanship we bring to every project. Our design achievements deliver award-winning results for major international hospitality brands such as Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, Fairmont, St. Regis, Peninsula, Shangri-La, Sofitel, InterContinental, and numerous boutique hotels. In addition, PYR has created restaurant environments for some of the world’s most innovative chefs, such as Joël Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Paul Bocuse, Gérard Boyer, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
