Sophistication in Blue

Ideally located in the heart of Paris’ historic Marais district, you’ve got all the romance of this area’s cobbled street, colourful shop fronts and cosy cafés right on your doorstep. And the romance doesn’t stop there – step inside to be met with parquet floors, low-slung beamed ceilings and ample natural light, all tied together with chic modern furnishings to make you feel right at home.

We love the deep pops of blue in the decor and the plush velvet used for the sofa and dining chairs. Kick back with a glass of French wine after a busy day of sightseeing or gather around the elegant dining table for a sophisticated soirée as the city’s lights twinkle just outside.

The two bedrooms have been curated with sumptuous rest in mind, with vibrant murals backing the beds and hotel-quality sheets to make your dreams all the sweeter. And when it’s time to wake up, you’ve got two marble-clad bathrooms complete with rainfall showers to give you a spring in your step for another day of exploring.

Speaking of venturing out, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy walking distance, including the Centre Pompidou (eight minutes), the Louvre (twenty minutes) and Notre Dame (twenty-three minutes).
