Be the personal guest of iconic fashion designer Azzedine Alaïa in his magnificent Marais design complex. Three stunning 100m2 apartments, all filled with M. Alaïa’s personal collection of designer furniture, offer more home than hotel, and are personally overseen by the guru himself. In fact, if you look out one of the back windows you may see him working away in his studio out the back. Inside the fully renovated 18th-century building, each extensive two-bedroom apartment has bare concrete floors, top-class Belgian bed linen and a fully equipped kitchen with washer/dryer. Original design masterpieces from icons such as Jean Prouvé or contemporary stars like Marc Newson, Serge Mouille or Jean Nouvel and schmicko mod cons (Bang & Olufsen no less) are complemented by humble touches such as a pair of Havianas thongs in the cupboard for your tootsies.
