Hôtel de NELL – A Quiet Oasis Within the Buzz

Paris. Located in a less touristy neighborhood in the intellectual and artistic 9th arrondissement, you will find the contemporary Hôtel de NELL. Elegant design mixed with Japanese bath tubs makes this minimalist hotel a quiet oasis in this vibrant city.

Hôtel de NELL is a charming and chic 5-star design hotel with contemporary design. From the reception to your room, the hotel ooze Parisian chic with a sexy edge. My first feeling of the atmosphere of the hotel was that it felt very well planned and concrete, which is two vital aspects of my overall impression. The mix of light and dark wood is perfectly balanced and presented by natural light. I loved the combination of the different raw materials in the interior.

That Parisian morning light.

The hotel was designed by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, whose objective is not limited to “creating for the sake of creation, but reconciling man with his environment and culture.” Wilmotte likes clean lines and warm materials. A peek at his résumé reveals imaginings of other bold properties in Paris, Monaco and Rio. At Hôtel de NELL, his firm preserved the character of the neighborhood in the façade, but fashioned the interior out of white marble, glass, dark woods; there’s a see-through gas fireplace as a sort of mark to the decor.

A touch of Japan

The distinctive touch of Hôtel de NELL must be it’s ritual-beckoning bathrooms. Some of the rooms (from Deluxe and up) have deep soaking Japanese-inspired bath tubs cut from a block of solid raw marble – with a seat made of stunning Oregon myrthlewood.
