Le Jardin de Verre by Locke, Paris

Parisian charm and foliage aplenty can be found at this new aparthotel in the Latin Quarter

What's it like?

Locke's newest aparthotel is a leafy extension of the Jardin des Plantes, located at the foot of the sloped Rue Lacépède in the city's 5th arrondissement. The botanical park has provided floral inspiration for alfresco-style interiors, curated by architecture and design studio Fettle.

The site itself is a medley of architecture from three eras: an 18th-century Baroque mansion, 20th-century factory, plus a modern new build. Even Parisians find it difficult to ignore the fairytale-like listed facade, whose charming courtyard welcomes you with yellow banquettes, Bolero rattan chairs and patterned parasols – come rain or shine.

Once in the building, there's plenty of paths to take – from dining spots to a co-working area – but each space features warm colour schemes, terracotta touches, patterned textiles and stripes aplenty (we're in Paris after all).
