Nestling at the heart of Le Marais, the intimate new “9Confidentiel” swings from neo-classicism to modernity thanks to the talent of its illustrious decorator, Philippe Starck. Characterized by its Art Deco facade with impressive windows, the building is comprised of 29 rooms on six floors, including three suites offering panoramic views of the rooftops of Paris. In the afternoon, the breakfast room becomes a tea-room proposing treats from well-known pastry chef, Yann Couvreur. 9confidentiel, 58 rue du Roi de Sicile, Paris 4 (01 86 90 23 33).
