Outside the door
Floating Seine berth
Moored directly on the Seine, this floating catamaran combines timber decking and zinc roofs with an energetic dockside social scene.
“The city’s first boat hotel feels like a sleek glass and steel cocoon, although it is a barge designed by a nautical architect.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Twin-hull floating catamaran architecture featuring zinc roofing, river-level cabins, and custom monochrome suites by Maurizio Galante.
Listed
A heated central plunge pool sits between the catamaran hulls, covered during winter and open in summer.
Listed
A waterside cocktail lounge and open pool deck drawing locals for tapas, weekend brunch, and sundowners.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the purpose-built barge (one of the largest docked on the river) evokes an over-sized catamaran wrapped in glass and steel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Moored along the Left Bank at Quai d'Austerlitz, the hotel sits opposite Gare de Lyon and beside the Cité de la Mode.
The rooms
Compact cabins feature walk-in Italian showers and water-level river views, while designer suites add bold monochromatic palettes and freestanding tubs.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated plunge pool sits between the twin hulls, open to summer skies and covered come winter.
Bar OFF
Glass walls look out over the river as the bar pours cocktails alongside tapas and sharing boards.
The final result is a smart, elegantly designed structure, that discreetly fits into its surroundings, while preserving iconic views of the Seine.
At the table
Weekend brunch buffets spread across the pool deck, with tables looking straight through glass doors to the water.
How it began
Prefabricated in nineteen modular components in Le Havre, the purpose-built barge was towed downriver to become France's first floating hotel.
