- WORDS: AMY SESSIONS

01. Location

Le Marais, is one of Paris’ oldest neighborho­ods and now plays host to the cool crowd. Favoured by contempora­ry art galleries, emerging designers’ boutiques and hip cafes, exploring this area offers up a host of newness that will keep you ahead of the curve culture-wise. Sinner is for artistic types, urban explorers, and anyone wishing to feel all the comfort of a luxury hotel while enjoying an approach which feels far more tailor-made.

02. Heaven Scent

The first thing which hits you when you arrive is the incredible scent of the hotel and its most private area, a spa by Orveda is no exception. Hidden behind a large stud embellishe­d door, discover this well-kept secret, with its pool inspired by Greek and Roman baths, as you enjoy a treatment customised specifical­ly for you.

03. An Eye for Detail

Sinner Paris delivers in truly unexpected ways design wise, with winding corridors illuminate­d by candles that cast an almost sacred sense of calm. Red doors with hand-shaped knockers inspired by carriage porches reveal 43 bedrooms and suites designed in opulent umber velvet and tactile wood. Sinner Paris successful­ly marries old and new to achieve a truly individual sense of luxury.

04. Strong Start

Breakfast here is abundant, as you might expect from a hotel promising to invite the senses. The coffee is incredible, the menu is wide and the team are flexible, meaning you can have everything from a classic poached egg to a cucumber juice on-thego to get you through your day. It’s also the ideal hangout for causal meetings overlookin­g a perfectly tended garden, so if you’re travelling for business as well as pleasure you can be efficient from the early hours.

05. After Hours

Contrastin­g radical lines with suggestive curves and a feeling of unpolished luxury, the pièce de résistance here could be considered the bar with its eclectic coloured glass, which casts the most intimate welcome. Carefully considered and handselect­ed literature engulfs the seating areas where you’re free to browse and be inspired while you wait for your guests.
