Hôtel Sezz

Snug and cosy the ultra-urban way

Opened in 2005 following a complete refurbishment of the building, the Hôtel Sezz, designed by Christophe Pillet, is certainly one of the most original hotels you will find in Paris today.

The owner Shahé Kalaidjian, a name already linked with the Hôtel Pavillon de Paris, has taken audacity to a new level at the Sezz: ultimate discretion, redefinition of the spaces traditionally found in a hotel, creation of the Personal Assistant concept and above all, an almost obsessive use of charcoal-grey Cascais stone, subtly lightened to highlight the slightest blue grey tone, a nod to Paris, the blue-grey city with its superposition of zinc, slate and stone.

As with all things different, you may experience a strange sensation of losing your bearings when you first encounter the play on space, perspective, materials and form, but you will come to appreciate the coherent whole which provides a retreat from the stresses and strains of urban life right in the heart of the city centre. The décor is primordial but never to the detriment of functionality or the quality of the materials. The ubiquitous grey may feel cold or austere but it does lend itself to a supremely elegant, unobtrusive and relaxing backdrop.

Relaxation and comfort being the hotel’s vocation, it offers a wide range of facilities including full in-room media equipment and a Jacuzzi, steam room and massages in the well-being area. For those who prefer their bubbles served nicely chilled in a champagne flute, there is the La Grande Dame champagne bar.

The clientele

The Sezz is unique and reaches out to people looking for new experiences, something a little different. The services and facilities will appeal to those seeking a high-tech, urban retreat from the city and its discretion will attract guests who prefer cosy, intimate spaces over big hotel lounges and public areas.
