The house
Motel OneUrban jungle base
This budget hotel takes its cues from the nearby woods, using whimsical botanical decor to liven up an affordable city stay.
What it’s good at
Listed
Madame Moustache collages and Ingo Maurer butterfly lights accent the botanical lobby.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Bois de Vincennes spreads out across the avenue, and the monumental Palais de la Porte Dorée stands right next door.
The rooms
Compact rooms keep things simple with functional layouts and scrapbook wall collages. Selected rooms look out across the park.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
The One Lounge
Bartenders pour French gin across a diamond-stitched leather counter beneath glowing pendant lights and mirrored walls.
At the table
Fairy-tale animal portraits by Rachel Convers line the breakfast room, which serves an organic morning buffet.
How it began
The building was constructed in 2018 on a narrow plot carved directly from the grounds of the neighbouring Art Deco palace.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
