Mon Hotel, Paris
Share
Just down from the Arc de Triomphe but discreetly hidden off Avenue de la Grande Armee on Rue d’Argentine is Hotel Mon, a small converted townhouse done out in rock star chic, dark shadowy hues of black and red, with music and appropriately modish objets to make this one of the classiest stops in the city.
The darkness inside is boldly interrupted by a bright white reception table, adorned only by an equally bright white Apple Mac, and a friendly English-speaking welcome from staff who look like they’ve just escaped the catwalk for the day.
There’s a bar-restaurant-hangout adjoining the reception area, complete with obligatory velvet ropes outside, but the emphasis throughout Hotel Mon is on quiet. Beware, there’s a gargantuan jar of ironic chewy sweets. Don’t touch – they are platinum level 100% moreish.
To get to your room there’s one of those tiny Parisian elevators, a moving pillar-box red leatherette kiosk where two people can journey up, but only if they already know each other really well. The rooms are warm and comfortable, smartly kitted out with everything that’s new in boutique hotel land, including a flat screen TV with over 700 channels.
The queen size beds dominate – you’re there to sleep after all – and for once (in Paris) you’re in a very quiet part of town. Given that you’re less than a kilometre from all the hedonistic action you could possibly want, this is something very special.
The calm can be continued at the Mon Spa, where a series of programmes designed to soothe, recuperate, and delight are offered. Everything from beauty treatments and pedicures, to hair styling and oriental massage
