This hotel is centrally located in the Latin Quarter and despite its 5* rating, its luxury is beautifully laid-back and welcoming. The listed modernist building was once a bold and stark department store but is now full of geometric shapes, rich colours, and soft fabrics. Soundproofed rooms have a retro glamour, there’s a peaceful courtyard garden with olive and fig trees and lavender, and bikes can be hired. There’s a fitness room and for dining guest can opt for international cuisine at SKT PETRI Restaurant, Nordic Mediterranean at P Eatery, or lighter bites in the courtyard. Order a cocktail from the bar and sip it on the terrace.
