The first flagship of the new urban hotel brand, Amastan Paris, offers a younger and livelier boutique hotel experience in one of the most distinguished and cultured neighbourhoods in the city.

Opened in July 2016 under Zied Sanhaji and designed by Paris-based design and interior architecture studio NOCC, Amastan Paris offers a curated home for the cultured traveller. Situated in a quiet street in the heart of the elegant eighth arrondissement, the twenty-four guest rooms reimagine the codes of boutique hospitality in Paris.

The interior architecture is inspired by classic Parisian apartment style, yet encompasses a quietly eclectic and comfortably understated elegance that emanates the ambience of a globally roaming collector’s personal home. The entrance on the ground floor is framed by a specially conceived architectural light scheme and features striking petrol-blue herringbone parquet flooring that makes a playful appearance on the walls, as well as a specially commissioned tapestry by designer Jan Kath.

A double-storey library wall and an ombre, marble high-table make for an intimate, warm and vibrant atmosphere. The cosy rooms allocated over six floors also feature the signature blue parquet, which provides a subtle contrast to an otherwise elegantly pared-down aesthetic featuring bespoke furniture and juxtaposing textures like lacquered oak, ash, copper and brass.

The hotel’s bar, Anouk, offers a one-of-a-kind landscape setting where guests can enjoy cocktails, rare spirits and an array of light, healthy meals outdoors. The elaborate garden features a striking rock formation that creates a natural seating area amidst thirty different species of flora and fauna.

Amastan Paris also has a Pop-In store dedicated to showcasing fashion and art from around the globe, which is collaborating with South Africa’s Merchants On Long until 6 October 2016. Read more about the collab here.
