Christophe Pillet

Located on a romantic 16th-arrondissement thoroughfare away from Paris’ hustle, bustle and opulence is the charmingly avant-garde 26-room Hôtel Sezz. Visually striking and unconventional, Hôtel Sezz features a casually meticulous personal assistant on hand day and night, and a breakfast room situated under a glorious glass dome. The defining element in this haute design Mecca is space – the smallest room is 19 square metres, the largest 37 – a rare luxury in a city in which it is difficult to secure breathing room or even a parking space. Designer Christophe Pillet, a protégé of celebrated stone and chrome devotee Philippe Starck, centred Hôtel Sezz’s minimal aesthetic on the austere khaki-grey stones found in the Portuguese town Cascais. And as in the dazzling coastal town, relaxation is paramount here. No intimidating concierge desk looms in the hotel’s entrance – instead, two salons in muted colours wait in the lobby. The effect is elegant, low-key and more south of France than urban, although the palette of slate, blue-grey and red is strictly Parisian. Beds stand squarely in the centre of the suites, which are done in chrome and red leather – the interior-design equivalent of a Ferrari, and a two-person stone jacuzzi dominates the sleek bathroom. Furnishings are based on simple lines and exquisite accents; here, functionality is compatible with a highly evolved modern aesthetic, and reflection can be seen everywhere from the artisan-crafted faucets to the rose-petal seating nooks in the downstairs Veuve Clicquot champagne bar.
