There are places that, from the very moment you step inside, impose a different rhythm. 25hours Hotel Paris Gare du Nord does not seek to be discreet. It asserts itself, almost immediately, through its majestic façade facing one of the most emblematic railway stations in Paris. Yet this is only a prelude. Inside, familiar reference points begin to shift. Colours intertwine, objects draw the eye, words appear where you least…
Everything here suggests movement. The rising towers, the clean lines, that sense of being at the centre of something that never quite stops. La Défense carries its own energy — almost separate from Paris, more direct, more vertical. And this is precisely where Pullman finds its place. At first, it feels as though you are moving away from the capital. In reality, it takes only a few minutes — a…
Some places make an immediate impression, others reveal themselves gradually. Fabric Hotel belongs to the latter. It is one of those places where the atmosphere is felt before it is ever defined. From the very first moments, something settles in — a sensation that is both raw and enveloping, echoing its industrial past, still visible in the materials, the volumes, and in the way the space is inhabited without ever feeling…
There are places in Paris one simply passes through, and others one truly steps into. Hôtel Ekta does not reveal itself at first glance. Just a few steps from the Champs-Élysées, where everything moves fast and shines perhaps a little too brightly, it almost fades behind its façade. And yet, the moment you cross the threshold, something shifts. The noise stays outside, the light softens, and the atmosphere gently settles,…
There are hotels that do not seek to impress, but to soothe. Places where luxury is quiet, almost intuitive. The Prince Akatoki London belongs to this rare category: a hotel where minimalism becomes an experience, and where Japanese hospitality finds a contemporary expression, in the very heart of London. Ideally located in central London, in Marylebone, just moments from Hyde Park, Marble Arch and Oxford Street, the hotel offers an…
Some addresses do more than welcome guests. They leave a lasting impression. The Majestic Saigon is one of those rare hotels where time seems to slow, allowing elegance and history to unfold naturally. Overlooking the Saigon River, this iconic landmark reflects the refinement of French colonial heritage, seamlessly blended with the vibrant spirit of Vietnam. From the very first moment, the atmosphere feels balanced and understated: polished marble, generous volumes,…
Within convenient walking distance of the imposing institutions of Westminster, in a London which is both vibrant and timeless, the Westminster London, Curio Collection by Hilton stands out for its discreet elegance and confidential atmosphere. A hotel like a murmur, which succeeds in being both welcoming and discreet, and always sophisticated.

Shaded by the palms of the Hivernage, where Marrakesh whispers its most fascinating secrets, there is a marvellously peaceful, refined space: the Nobu Marrakech. Subtly reflecting the Moroccan soul, and only a stone’s throw from lively souks and the Koutoubia gardens, the hotel provides an opportunity to immerse yourself, where every detail is an invitation to serenity. From the first moment, the hotel reveals something of its character, with a…
In the Marais quartier, whose narrow, winding streets are dotted with art galleries, designer boutiques and fine dining establishments, the Hôtel Duo achieves the perfect balance of elegance and intimacy. First opened in 1920 and then handed on from one generation to the next, this chic hotel is much more than just a place to stay; it is an invitation to immerse yourself in the authentic Paris, while at the…
Some coincidences seem almost to be arranged by destiny, such as this unplanned stay in Cyprus, island of Aphrodite, goddess of love. When Jordanian airspace was closed, we immediately looked for a way out, and it was at Larnaca that we finally landed, as if we had been carried there by some benevolent magic to provide us with a time of serenity by way of an ending our journey. It…
