Sage & the Sea

Sage & the Sea: Île-de-France

A chic hotel room down a quiet street in the trendy district of Le Marais – the location is hard to beat. The room itself is appointed with rich textures and high-end finishes – we particularly loved the deep blue velvet headboard against the soothing sage green walls. The bathroom is also a highlight – beautifully kitted out with all the little luxuries of a hotel. Downstairs, you'll find a lounge room with a bar to enjoy a cocktail or a coffee in. If you're planning a quick stopover in Paris or simply prefer the care and attention lavished on you at hotels, then this is a great choice, and that's before you explore the neighbourhood. Step out into the streets of Le Marais, and you'll uncover a glorious melting pot of Chinese, Jewish and LGBTQ cultures, with a pinch of high fashion and fascinating art thrown into the mix.

Home truths:
*The room is on the second floor and enjoys elevator access – however, there's no step-free access so it might not be suitable for those with limited mobility *Not suitable for children and infants *There's a basic kitchenette but no place to sit and eat – this home is best suited for shorter stays *Due to the location, you may hear some nearby noise – light sleepers should pack ear plugs
