Nestling at the heart of the 7th arrondissement, Le Cinq Codet is intended to offer a luxury pied-à-terre in Paris set around a leafy patio. Interior architect and designer Jean-Pierre Nuel has revamped this 1930’s building to provide a flagship hotel with 67 rooms in 29 different styles ! On the top floor, four magnificent suites with landscaped terraces unfurl a unique view of Paris, with the 300 year-old Dome of Les Invalides in the foreground, the Eiffel Tower on the other side. On the walls, almost 400 works by contemporary artists and photographers, either renowned or up-and-coming, create a special ambiance set off by exclusive furnishings designed by Elisabeth Garouste, Tom Dixon and Patricia Urquiola.
