Through the use of natural wood paneling, under-floor heating, fireplaces, and pure white marble in Japanese-style bathrooms, acclaimed architect Jean-Michel Wilmotte has created a warm atmosphere in Paris’s eclectic 9th arrondissement. The 33 rooms and suites here each feature a mix of bright and dark colors, while indirect lighting and natural materials abound, including parquet flooring, raw marble, Oregon myrtlewood, and more. And for maximum sleeping comfort you can even order your pillow from a menu of pillow types.

Jacques Konckier and his daughter Lisa Abrat set out to create a new type of hotel. They call it the "French Plus" revolution—crafted on a human scale, but offering all the services of a grand luxury hotel. They got it right the first time in 2006 with the opening of Benkiraï, a four-star resort in Saint-Tropez, embodying the quest for exclusivity and the originality of their high-end hospitality brand Charm & More. So it's no surprise that they chose Paris's 9th arrondissement —famed for being eclectic, artistic, and intellectual—as the location for Hotel de NELL.
