Paris redefined the concept of hotels this season: beside providing an elegant and timeless place to rest, today's generation has created a contemporary space that worships l'art de vivre, a space where everything is possible.

Here are two of the  hotels that had their inaugurations recently that you need to experience on your next trip to Paris.

The Hoxton Hotel
30-32, Rue de Sentier

Just before the end of August, the London-based Hoxton hotel brand expanded into Paris. The Hoxton, Paris is the brand’s largest property with 171 guest rooms. It opened in an 18th-century hôtel particulier, originally conceived by architect Nicolas d’Orbay for Etienne Rivié, an advisor to Louis XV.

There are 172 rooms design by Humbert & Paoyet spread over 5 palatial floors, filled with jewel-toned velvet armchairs, floral wallpaper, millennial pink poufs, mustard yellow velvet sofas and tasselled lampshades.

Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers
243 rue Saint-Martin

Designed by Raphael Navot, the 70-room Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers takes subtle cues from the nearby Musée des Arts et Métiers, an institution dedicated to invention, science and technology before mass industrial production. The innovative interior design is dominated by industrial cement slatted walls, 'heat-blackened' steel bookshelves and burnt-wood bar counters.

Ristorante National and cocktail bar ‘Herbarium’ are a part of Hotel National des Arts et Métiers
experience.

The hotel has brought together the expertise of three luminaries in the Parisian restaurant scene: Julien Cohen and the duo of Jean-Pierre Lopes and Thomas Delafon.
