Hôtel National Des Arts et Métiers

Named after the famous engineering school nearby, the Hotel National des Arts & Métiers, combines industrial elements alongside elegant French design inside two renovated Haussmann buildings. Location: Overlooking the Marias in the 3rd arrondissement, the Hotel National des Arts & Métiers is a short walk from the Seine, Pompidou Centre, and Place de la République. Interior: The Hotel National des Arts & Métiers is stunningly modern and feels Scandinavian-slick, with the warmth of velvet furniture and honeycomb-colored oak herringbone floors. Every detail has been carefully considered in these rooms — from the amorphous hanging mirrors to the walls behind the headboards which evoke the cool feeling of concrete. And have you seen those common spaces? We can’t get enough of the minimalistic industrial black structures that sit in a lush jungle of green plants. Cost per night: Starting €176/$198.57 Things you should know: Two words: rooftop deck. The rooftop of the Hotel National des Arts & Métiers has a breathtaking 360-degree view of the city.
