"Christophe Pillet's dramatic and ultra-chic design hotel is a hideaway in the busy capital across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower."
A wonderfully quiet design hotel near the Seine, the Hotel Sezz is a converted townhouse in Paris.
The facilities
Reception staff, tucked away in a small office off the little public space, are unfailingly attentive and helpful - in fact the Hotel Sezz offers them as 'personal assistants' to guests, along with free wi-fi and phone roaming. As such this design hotel is a favourite with style-conscious working execs in the week, and often has great rates at weekends. Downstairs there's a small hammam and Jacuzzi and the metro is close giving guests easy access to Paris.
The rooms
The rooms at the design hotel come in various flavours - mostly based on how the bathrooms are configured. Some in the room behind glass, some freestanding, etc. Cool contemporary materials include grey slate (and not any old slate, but pierre de caiscais from Portugal), cream composite bathrooms, tonal lighting and graphic and photo art on the walls.
