BACKGROUND
The lifestyle Canopy brand was launched in 2014, and has 31 properties around the world, with another 29 under development. It debuted in France with this hotel in May.
WHERE IS IT
On Avenue d’Eylau, just off the bustling Place du Trocadéro. It is a five-minute walk from Trocadéro metro station, and ten minutes to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elysées.
WHAT’S IT LIKE?
Formerly an electric factory, the 1930s façade now houses a seven-floor hotel designed by architect and interior designer Jean-Philippe Nuel. He has paid homage to its industrial roots while keeping it bright with Le Corbusierstyle block shapes and a warm colour scheme of oranges and reds.
The open-plan lobby is well-designed with a range of seating areas for relaxing, working or dining – plus a small reception desk manned by two friendly staff. The main restaurant, bar and lounge lie straight ahead, with a glass roof overhead, and are cleverly partitioned with bookshelf-style screens. It’s a great use of space and ideal for coworking or informal dining.
