Where To Stay In Paris: The new OFF Hotel

A great new hotel in Paris has opened its doors to the public. It is beautifully designed, with amazing furniture and the location couldn’t be more luxurious. The concept behind the hotel is really creative and anyone planning a trip to the french capital should consider this as the ultimate place to spend – at least – the nights. If that’s your case, stop wondering where to stay in Paris; The new OFF Hotel is your answer.

The recently opened OFF hotel offers people a different experience due to its unique location and concept. It is the city’s first hotel on water. Based on the river Seine, in the 21st arrondissement, the floating craft is docked at the foot of the Gare d’Austerlitz, between the Austerlitz viaduct and the Charles de Gaulle bridge.

A choice destination for a unique experience, OFF offers 54 rooms, 4 suites, a bar with cocktails and tapas, an interior path, a plunge pool and a marina. Located between the Left and Right banks, the viewpoints offered by the OFF are simply stunning: the play of light and the reflections of water change throughout the day.

A true floating cocoon where guests can disconnect from urban life, the OFF Paris Seine is designed by Gèrard Ronzatti / Seine design. The vessel-like structure is topped with a slanting zinc roof that opens the façades outwards to the water, while a central glass ceiling invites natural light into the interior.

From the rooms, there’s a view of the Seine riverbanks to the historic Paris Austerlitz railway station. Two of the suites feature a double panoramic view of the water, while the two monochromatic designer suites were realized by
designers Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman.

The hotel has four stars, and its life revolves around the lounge bar, a buzzy glass-and-steel affair arranged in a U-shape around the dipping pool – with inflatable gold swan – on the upper deck. At 80m long and 20m wide, it’s the largest vessel currently moored on the Seine. A beautiful place to see.
