The hotel in the shape of a boat hull, is a genuine technical prowess, designed by Vasconi Architects, and a superb decor signed by Jean-Philippe Nuel, with spectacular panoramic views of Paris. Situated on the Esplanade de La Défense, centred between two main avenues leading from the Arc-de-Triomphe at the Champs-Elysees to the Arche de la Defense on the other end, the new-built property is set in front of Takis water mirror fountains and offers direct underground connection to the city centre.
