Hoxton

Paris


The Parisian outpost of designer hotel the Hoxton occupies a grand 18th-century former residence. Its 172 striking rooms come in four sizes: Shoebox (from 13 sq metres), Cosy (from 17 sq metres), Roomy (from 21 sq metres) and Biggy (from 32 sq metres). All have intricate cornicing and reclaimed oak floors; some have balconies.

Flowing indoor/outdoor courtyard spaces are laid with 17th-century cobblestones and strewn with sofas. Its contemporary all-day restaurant, Rivié, sits beneath a glass atrium. Floral-wallpapered Jacques’ Bar mixes Moroccan-inspired cocktails; there's also a casual wine bar, Planche.
