Located near the Gare du Nord—a crossroads of multicultural Europe—in the 10th arrondissement, this hotel redefines the conventions of traditional hospitality, in the spirit of the German group 25hours, which grounds each of its properties in the unique character of its neighborhood. Nestled in a stunning 19th-century building, this hideaway reveals its personality from the moment you walk in, with a reception area reminiscent of Parisian kiosks. Upstairs, the sense of wonder continues at the NENI restaurant, which draws inspiration from Mediterranean, Persian, Arab, and Russian cuisines, served “Balagan”-style so guests can sample a little of everything, or the Sape Bar, inspired by the flamboyant style of the Congolese Sapeurs, with its dark wood and English-style leather club armchairs. Decorated in an Afro-Asian style, the 237 rooms reflect the neighborhood’s cultural diversity. Spacious and full of whimsy, this urban kibbutz also welcomes residents of the 10th arrondissement who come here to work, pick up a package, or warm their hearts over a drink.
