Norman Paris Hôtel & Spa

The Best Hotels in Paris | Vogue

"Around the corner from Chateau des Fleurs between the Champs‑Élysées and Rue Friedland, this sibling exudes a more masculine energy—my husband even said, unprompted, “I like this place.” Think modern captain’s quarters: burled‑wood paneled walls, milk‑chocolate leather sofas, mid‑century furnishings, and geometric wall art, all nodding to namesake graphic designer Norman Ives with his patterns woven through textiles and carpets. Our curved balcony looked onto the Chambre de Commerce et Industrie with a healthy potted olive tree on the deck, while the long marble bar downstairs featured glass canisters of dried orange slices, pineapple rings, and saffron‑colored candy floss to garnish libations; an Asian influence runs through the culinary program, with Thiou overseen by beloved Vietnamese‑Parisian chef Apiradee Thirakomen Thiou." - Vogue
