What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Wallpaper*.
It’s meant to be warmer, more serene, and more organic than the typical Parisian boutique hotel, and on all counts it succeeds.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms
Raw concrete ceilings and pale wood panelling frame leafy views through exterior planters, with many rooms opening onto private balconies.
The fitness club
The gym includes a regulation boxing ring, heavy punching bags, and studios for yoga, Pilates, and MMA.
Dogs stay too.
