The first thing that’s notable about Hotel le A is the style. Any time a high-design, architecturally modern hotel opens in Paris, it’s news. First because there are still few of them — the Paris hotel scene remains in thrall to a century-old vision of architecture and interior design — and second because here, in one of the world’s style capitals, only the best contemporary design has a chance of surviving without being laughed out of town.
That’s no danger, in this case. The design, by Frédéric Méchiche, is as contemporary as can be, a clean and simple vision in a monochrome palette, with ebony-stained wood floors and chocolate-brown sofas and armchairs against a backdrop of dazzling white. Some unique lighting effects lighten the mood, including an elevator ceiling that changes color at each floor.
There’s more to a hotel than visual impact, of course. Beneath its modern surface, the Hotel le A deals in classic luxury. Rooms are smallish but spare no comfort, and are decorated with original works by the contemporary French artist Fabrice Hybert. Downstairs a library and lounge, complete with fireplace, offer space for relaxation. It’s a modernist oasis hidden away within a classic townhouse, all the more notable for the contrast between its interior and its location, in a buzzing commercial district between the Champs-Elysées and the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

What I liked:
the concierge and the staffs were all very helpful and friendly. I spent time at the lobby when I checked out working until departing to the airport and ordered coffee, and when I was about to pay they insisted that I don't need to. It is not the money but the overall hospitality that moved me. The location is fantastic, very near to the metro station as well which made my business plan much easier.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing, had a wonderful stay!

What I liked:
very stylish, great location, excellent service and staff.
What the hotel could do better:
Breakfast is a bit steep for what it offers - steps from the hotel are better meals at a fraction of the price - perhaps form a relationship with one of them to provide the breakfast and afford a little local / neighborhood flavor? The hotel has so much charm.
