Expensive Places

Just few days ago, Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris introduces a new penthouse suite designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon and offering 360 degree views of the Paris city.

With six terraces offering a 360 degree view of Paris and 160 square metres (1,630 square feet) of pure luxury, this new Penthouse offers a romantic hideaway among Paris rooftops. The understated, light and airy interior architecture puts the emphasis on open and elegant spaces. The soft tones of the travertine flooring are reflected in the walls decorated with sycamore and majilite, while the beautiful floral arrangements created by Jeff Leatham, the Hotel’s Artistic Director, create a sense of home the moment one opens the door.

Among the great surprises of the Penthouse Suite is the elegant winter garden, decorated in floral fabric and separated from the living room by a wrought iron door. At any time of the day or night it is the perfect place to enjoy a meal or drink while overlooking the Invalides, the American Cathedral and Eiffel Tower. The terrace, shaped like the bow of a ship, provides an even wider view of the City of Light: the roofs of the Madeleine, the Opera and the Pantheon are at one’s feel while the Eiffel Tower seems so close one almost touch it. From the terrace, steps lead to an intimate upper balcony perched even higher on the roof, where guests can enjoy a last glass of Champagne and savour the shimmering Eiffel Tower. The bedroom with its own terrace is a new invitation to peacefulness. An elegant four-poster daybed invites to the most romantic nap perched high above the hustle and bustle of Paris.

Nobis Hotel is one of the best hotels in Stockholm, Sweden in terms of design and refinement. Also, in terms of location when staying at Nobis Hotel, you are at the very center of what’s going on in Stockholm in every sense.

Nobis Hotel is designed in a style of timeless contemporary elegance by renowned architect and design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune. The new design interacts and contrasts effectfully with the buildings’ magnificent, culturally protected late 19th century original interiors.

The interiors are not loud, flamboyant or self-righteous, but toned-down and discreet. Claesson Koivisto Rune’s sharp contemporary interiors are designed to both contrast and harmonize with the magnificent 19th century bourgeois stone architecture of the buildings, giving Nobis Hotel’s interiors its unique character. A source of inspiration has been the moods, colors and features of the city of Stockholm itself, not those of a bright sparkling summer day but instead those winter days, when the light is weak and flat, contrasts low and colors and shadows subtle.

An extensive range of furniture and other interior design objects have also been designed and manufactured exclusively for Nobis Hotel. The materials selected are mostly superior quality natural materials such as various stones, woods, wools and other natural textiles, glass, ceramics, leather and metals — materials that will age with grace.

Comfort, personality, warmth, atmosphere, casual elegance, contemporary timelessness and durable quality are some of the virtues that we like to think distinguish these interiors.
