Murano Resort

Minimalism with a playful edge

Noteworthy for: Losing your room key is a thing of the past at Murano; they have replaced them with fingerprint scanners. The future is now.
Word to the wise: Two of the suites come with their own private heated outdoor swimming pools.

Popular plate: The avant-garde restaurant is highly acclaimed.
'When sleeping is not enough’ is the motto of this uber-trendy Parisian resort. Not a hotel, but a resort. This is because it appeals to those making a certain lifestyle choice; to play on the flamboyant side of hip and indulge in a sense of fun while being fashionable. It is less intimidating than it sounds.

Created out of abandoned buildings and a parking lot, the industrial chic design is a far cry from the usual Parisian luxury aesthetic of its Marais neighbours. It’s puritanically minimal with a Pop-Art edge; the all-white canvas plays host to shag-pile carpets, splashes of glitter and faux-fur, not to mention the near-gimmicky touch of different coloured lighting to suit your mood.
