“One night in Paris. If there is a city in the world that could make just one night memorable and worthwhile it would have to be Paris” was mentionned by the well known herbert Ypma’s city guide about the romantic city & its most trendy hotels…
Situated on a quiet street a few blocks from the Champs Elysées, it’s not what you would expect to find in what is known as the Golden Triangle of Paris, an area famous for its designer boutiques and expensive hotels. Le A is a Marais kind of hotel that happens to be in the 8th. Its design marks a new period in the work of the French designer Frédéric Mechiche, whose style has evolved from a Neo-Classical influence to a focus on modern art. Le A takes the Parisian love of detail and refinement, gives it a shake-up, and employs one artist to furnish the interior as if it were a gallery show.
