MOHA: Hospitality as an Art of Living…

Creativity, elegance and authenticity at the heart of hotel interior architecture.

Founded in 2005 by Céline Moscheni Tournaire, MOHA has established itself as a unique benchmark in the world of hotel interior design. The agency designs premium hospitality spaces where attention to detail and natural elegance redefine the guest experience.

Each project is born from the passion of its founder and the complementary skills of a deeply committed team, united by a shared vision: to offer more than just a space, to offer a suspended moment. From its inception, MOHA has cultivated a unique perspective on hospitality: that of an intimate journey, shaped by materials, light, and emotion. Contemporary design meets organic textures, and natural materials converse with a refined and sensitive aesthetic. The agency designs bespoke hotels, imbued with a spirit of travel, where every detail tells a story.

“  More than an interior architecture and design agency, MOHA creates unique experiences, where timeless elegance and attention to detail redefine hospitality.  ” Céline Moscheni Tournaire.

Beyond the architectural approach, Céline Moscheni Tournaire champions a philosophy: that of sincere and embodied hospitality. Simplicity, elegance, and respect for family values ​​are at the heart of her creative process.

MOHA’s projects are distinguished by their human dimension: they unite, bring people together, and reveal a notion of a contemporary tribe where everyone finds their place. The agency draws inspiration from rich and varied worlds, cross-cultural influences, and artisanal expertise. Each project is conceived as an immersive destination, a haven of comfort and warmth where authenticity becomes a natural luxury. MOHA designs hotels that transcend conventional standards, offer a fresh perspective on hospitality, and leave a lasting impression.

More than just an interior architecture and design agency, MOHA orchestrates unique hospitality experiences, where timeless elegance meets the present. Its signature style rests on a rare balance: the power of precise design and the gentleness of an essential aesthetic. For nearly twenty years, the agency has continually reinvented the art of hospitality. Today, MOHA pursues its mission with the same conviction: to create inspiring, sensitive, profoundly human spaces—places where one doesn’t just stay, but where one lives, intensely.

The MOHA signature, the vision of founder Céline Moscheni Tournaire

Can you present your vision for Novotel Megève Mont-Blanc?

Novotel Megève Mont-Blanc**** is a modern chalet, open year-round, located in the heart of a charming mountain village. The hotel is a welcoming place for guests from all walks of life, where everyone can find their own space to share a warm and authentic moment, whether on the sunny terrace or around the fireplace. The chalet features 92 rooms and suites with balconies, village or mountain views, a gourmet restaurant and lounge bar, a Kids Club, private meeting rooms, a ski and bike room, a ski shop, and secure private parking. 

Can you introduce us to the signature for Le Saint-Gervais Hotel & SPA | Handwritten Collection?

La Signature in Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc reflects a passion for Turkish hospitality. The owner lived in Turkey and wanted to share his passion by offering a journey within a journey. Turkish hospitality is synonymous with sharing, refinement, the art of welcoming, a warm welcome, and conviviality. Above all, it’s about thoughtful touches and a personalized relationship with our guests: such as sharing a Turkish coffee or tea, the generous breakfast buffet featuring Mediterranean specialties, or the ritual of offering our guests cologne upon arrival to refresh their hands.

Conceived as a grand holiday home, a place where guests can truly relax, the hotel restores the former glory of a manor house dating back to the early 20th century. The Saint Gervais Hotel and Spa Handwritten Collection**** enhances the offering of elegant and discreet tourist accommodation (boutique hotel style), fully embracing the revitalization of a leading destination for mountain and spa tourism.

The hotel is located at the foot of Mont Blanc, offering a breath of fresh air and a true escape, between Megève and Chamonix, and a 5-minute walk from the Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc thermal baths. It is within walking distance of the Saint-Gervais Le Fayet train and TER station (making it easy to reach by sustainable transport from Paris, Geneva, etc.). The hotel features 75 rooms and suites, the Avanti restaurant, the Le Marie Paradis lounge bar, a spa, private meeting rooms, and ski and bike storage.

Like Novotel Megève Mont-Blanc, the hotel is open all year round for leisure and business clients, festive events and private bookings.

The MOHA team

Céline Moscheni Tournaire

President and Founder of MOHA

Céline infuses MOHA with a sensitive and committed vision of hospitality. A graduate of the École Boulle and then the École Camondo, she founded the agency with the sound intuition that interior design can reconcile refinement and warmth, elegance and individuality. Surrounded by her loyal team, she imagines vibrant spaces that leave a lasting impression, with the greatest reward being the continued trust of her clients. A Taurus, she loves the living density of wood, the vibrant colors of Brazil, the Milanese art of living, and the ancestral traditions of Southern countries.

Émilie Siaud

Interior designer, project manager

Having joined MOHA in 2018, Émilie embodies a sensitive and intuitive artistic direction. She has shaped the soul of the Novotel Megève, the Handwritten “Le Saint Gervais,” and the Marriott Courtyard Lyon Genas. Trained at the Penninghen School, she has developed a precise eye, nurtured by graphic and architectural rigor. A Taurus, she loves wood, linen, and cut stone, and finds renewal in the majesty of Mount Seoraksan.

Hugues Pelhate

Interior designer, project manager

Hugues joined MOHA in 2016. Since then, he has led his projects with precision, exacting standards, and generosity, combining a keen sense of place with meticulous attention to detail. His contributions include the YAC Clichy Hotel, the MGallery Grand Hôtel Beauvau Marseille, and the Mercure Luxembourg. A graduate of LISAA Paris, he cultivates a distinct taste for sophisticated atmospheres and unique materials. A contemplative Libra, he favors glazed lava stone, ceramics, and wood—raw materials, carefully transformed. He draws inspiration from places where design embraces light, such as Little Green Bay in Split or the serene, mineral-rich island of Kythira.

Amandine Haussy

FF&E Director

At MOHA since 2016, Amandine skillfully shapes materials, furniture, and supplier relationships. Her keen eye for detail makes her the guardian of harmonies, textures, and finishes. She notably contributed to the floral ambiance of the Ibis Styles Helvetia in Paris, as well as the warm authenticity of the Mercure Peyragudes Loudenvielle. A graduate of LAAB in Rennes, she cultivates a cross-disciplinary approach, combining furniture and spatial design. On each project, she prioritizes a collaborative approach with the team, resulting in personalized designs that are both sensitive and cohesive. A dreamy Aquarius, she finds herself drawn to ceramics: subtle, vibrant, and full of character. Her imagination readily wanders to Canada, a vast and rugged land that deeply nourishes her inspiration.

Valentine Hallouin Rossignol

Interior designer, project manager (Southeast region)

Valentine joined MOHA in 2013. Based in Annecy, she oversees projects in Southeast France, combining technical rigor with an emotional touch. Her notable projects include the Hôtel SPA Les Bains d’Arguin in Arcachon and the Mercure Luxembourg Off Kirchberg. A graduate of L’École de Design Nantes Atlantique, she furthered her studies with a master’s degree in intercultural interior architecture in Shanghai. A balanced individual, she appreciates rattan, wood, and zellige tiles, finding a connection between natural materials, texture, and craftsmanship. Her perspective has been shaped by her years spent in China, Morocco, and Canada.

Fanny Dalli

Assistant Project Manager (freelance)

Trained at LISAA Paris, Fanny joined the MOHA adventure in 2020. Curious and passionate, she soon decided to strike out on her own, developing her own projects as an independent interior designer. Still driven by a desire to collaborate and explore new horizons, she returned to MOHA as a freelancer. She is the project manager for the Compiègne project, overseeing it from the initial design phase through to the creation of model rooms. Fanny also works alongside other project managers on diverse and inspiring projects such as YAC, Megève, Life Marseille, Golf, and Nice. An intuitive Aquarius, she loves wood for its universal warmth, as well as zellige tiles for their rich craftsmanship and interplay of light. Italy, the cradle of elegance and tradition, is the trip that moves her most deeply, but it is also in Turkey, with its contrasting and inspiring landscapes, that she nourishes her vision and imagination.

Camille Tournaire

Graphic Designer

For the past nine years, Camille has been shaping the image of projects, imbuing them with a strong and sensitive visual signature. Trained at the École Boulle and the Académie Charpentier, she excels in creating visual identities, enhancing project presentations, and designing signage, always with a meticulous attention to detail that makes a difference. Among her notable achievements are the Villa du Moulleau and the Handwritten “Le Saint Gervais.” A curious Aquarius, she draws inspiration from the textures of paper and fabrics, and is nourished by the contrasts she encounters during her many travels.

Sandrine Féron

Swiss Army knife 

Trained at the École Camondo, Sandrine cultivates a comprehensive vision of interior architecture. A true all-rounder, she has explored every aspect of the profession: from design to budget management, from site supervision to final delivery. Among her notable achievements is the Kyriad Prestige in Compiègne, a project she managed from start to finish—and whose result she adores. She met Céline in the early 2000s and witnessed the birth of MOHA, then spent several years working in India. Upon her return, she rejoined the firm as if picking up an uninterrupted conversation. Materials: wood (oak), terracotta, and linen. Astrological sign: Libra.
