"They call Dôce18 a concept house because it’s not strictly a hotel. In 1930, Syrian immigrant Isaac Cohen bought this 18th-century property, expanding it to house both his family and his businesses. Today, the top floor of old Casa Cohen contains the 11 rooms of L’Ôtel, but the rest of the architecturally significant building is taken up by shops, restaurants, bars, and galleries." - Mark Fedeli
