Maximalist retro townhouse
Electric pea-green wainscoting, leopard-print seating, and hand-drawn artwork bring a playful, anti-modern spirit to the vivid ground-floor lobby.
“I love the foggy atmosphere in winter – perfect for between trains or for a solo date. It’s also part of a great hotel.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Saturated hues, candy-striped headboards, bespoke geometric carpets, and retro checkerboard-tiled bathrooms shape the playful maximalist interiors.
Notable
A subterranean suite houses an indoor plunge pool, steam hammam, Finnish sauna, and floral-wallpapered fitness room.
Listed
The ground-floor cafe serves morning espresso and natural wines, opening onto a sidewalk street terrace.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the depth of Hall’s research combined with the boldness of his palette results a sort of dream-world hyper-Paris, more Parisian than the real thing.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set between Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est in Little India, the quiet side street sits minutes from Canal Saint-Martin.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature canary-yellow armchairs, hand-sketched bedside lampshades, and French Empire nightstands against saturated walls and retro tiled bathrooms.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The subterranean plunge pool sits beneath hand-painted aquatic murals, bordered by red checkerboard tiles and wicker loungers.
The gym and hammam
The basement gym is lined with Swedish floral wallpaper and wooden WaterRowers, set beside a sage-green mosaic hammam.
Restaurant
Les Deux Gares Express
The cafe serves pastries from Boulangerie Sain, morning espresso, and natural wines under a glossed tortoiseshell ceiling.
Hall effortlessly flits between styles and patterns to create a color-splashed world that’s theatrical and yet welcoming.
How it began
Touriste commissioned British designer Luke Edward Hall in 2020, granting him free rein to revive a long-vacant five-storey Parisian townhouse.
“Whether you’re in the bathroom, lobby, hallway or elevator, bright colors and patterns abound—from leopard print and stripes to florals and herringbone.”
