After two-and-a-half years of refurbishment, the Renaissance Paris République has opened its doors a stone’s throw from the Place de la République and the Canal Saint-Martin. The interior architecture of its nine floors of rooms and suites has been entrusted to Didier Gomez who has fulfilled his aim of designing a 5-star hotel reflecting the spirit of the Haut Marais neighbourhood, known as a melting-pot of cross-bred culture. Renaissance Paris République. 40, rue René Boulanger, Paris 10e. (01 71 18 20 95)
