High-altitude glass spectacle
Perched high inside modern glass skyscrapers, the hotel swaps classic Haussmannian stone for soaring skyline views and playful contemporary glamour.
“Its slender silhouette rises to a height of 120 metres in the south of the city, and the rooms amplify the effect with panoramic, wall-to-wall windows.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Philippe Starck interiors feature skyline-angled beds, reflective glass, and surrealist dining murals suspended high above the city.
Notable

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR and Tatler.
It’s located not in the picturesque center but right on the edge of the city, across the road from Ivry-sur-Seine.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in modern Paris Rive Gauche, the location borders the Seine near the national library, street murals, and vibrant creative spaces.
The rooms
Beds are elevated and angled precisely toward picture windows, framing direct views across the Seine toward the distant Eiffel Tower.
The sauna and jacuzzi
A heated jacuzzi sits on the planted seventeenth-floor terrace, right beside a custom cedar wood sauna.
The spa
Treatment rooms look directly over the city skyline, with dedicated spaces for massages, facials, and light therapy.
The gym
Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the fitness center, where Technogym cardio machines look straight over the river.
At the table
Dinner is served beneath high ceilings in the glass-cube restaurant. Upstairs, the twenty-seventh-floor rooftop bar overlooks the city.
When the Philippe Starck-designed TOO Hotel opened in 2022, its unorthodox silhouette towering over Paris’s otherwise demure skyline ruffled some feathers.
How it began

Developer Laurent Taïeb set this high-rise retreat within architect Jean Nouvel's angled Tours Duo skyscrapers in the thirteenth arrondissement.
