"The prolific Philippe Starck and the French-Brazilian architects Tryptique are responsible for the strikingly verdant Villa M, a modern structure sheathed in living vegetation on the Boulevard Pasteur in Montparnasse. It’s meant to be warmer, more serene and more organic than the typical Parisian boutique hotel – and on all counts it succeeds, from its ebullient yet calming Starck-designed rooms to its thoroughly welcoming public spaces." - The MICHELIN Guide
