Located in one of the Duo towers designed by the famous architect Jean Nouvel, the TOO hotel opens its doors to the public today. It is already a must-see place in the capital.
Nestled in the 13th arrondissement, Paris unveils a new architectural jewel, with a sleek, geometric design by Jean Nouvel and an interior imagined and decorated by Philippe Starck and Laurent Taïeb. The TOO hotel could well become the most fashionable place on the Left Bank.
For a few years now, the left bank of Paris has been getting a makeover, becoming more contemporary and modern than the right bank, on the Concorde and Tuileries side. The TOO hotel has thus set up shop among the many towers of the 13th arrondissement.
This arty and creative project is the work of entrepreneur Laurent Taïeb. After inaugurating the luxurious Madame Rêve hotel, a favorite of influencers and clients from all over the world, he decided to invest in one of the two Duo towers designed by the architect of the Philharmonie de Paris and the Institut du Monde Arabe, Jean Nouvel. To perfect his idea, he called on Philippe Starck.
From the 17th to the 27th floor, the most famous French designer puts Paris at the heart of the project, or at least at the heart of the rooms, in a wide angle version. Thus, in the 139 rooms and suites of the hotel, including six with terraces, the bed is oriented towards the best view, sometimes bypassing the central axis.
The designer creates a seat at the edge of the windows, to contemplate Montmartre, the famous Iron Lady, the Bois de Vincennes and the dome of the invalids. What to admire a magical panorama, with an evolving light throughout the day. Perched 120 meters high, Starck has undoubtedly drawn his inspiration from the sky and the clouds. He has created a warm, delicate universe with warm and comforting colors, mixing materials such as wood, concrete and metal.
On the top floor of this new hotel, poetic and aerial, we find the restaurant of the chef Benjamin Six as well as a bar, with its breathtaking view. But that’s not all, in addition to delicious and daring culinary experiences, guests will be able to relax at the TOO Spa, with its outdoor Jacuzzi, to enjoy this idyllic setting again and again.
With such a decor, the visitor can have the impression of not being in Paris, but in a city with a thousand skyscrapers like Bangkok, New York or Tokyo.
Don’t miss the discovery of this hotel, to escape from your daily life for a night or to have a drink and a meal with your head in the clouds.
