Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée: the new design hotel in the 12th arrondissement

Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée is the brand-new hotel at Porte Dorée, in the 12th arrondissement. Located just a few minutes from the Bois de Vincennes, this design hotel offers its guests luxury, calm, pleasure and a lovely sunny terrace for those fine days!

Musée de l'Histoire de l'Immigration, Aquarium, Zoo, Foire du Trône, Bois de Vincennes... The Porte Dorée district in the 12th arrondissement offers a wealth of places to visit and things to do. The German group Motel One has understood this, and has chosen this district to set up its first Paris hotel at 295 Avenue Daumesnil: the Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée.

Located just a stone's throw from the Bois de Vincennes, Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée is a design hotel that blends animal and plant motifs with Art Deco style. Each of the 255 rooms is unique, and every detail has been carefully thought out: in the bathroom, you'll find soft towels and organic and natural cosmetics.

In the bedroom, the bedding is of the highest quality, with Egyptian cotton sheets and a boxspring awaiting guests, who choose the size and texture of pillows they prefer inside. The carpets, depicting abstract scenes of a walk in the park, are by Christian Lacroix, and each room has a Smart TV.

On the first floor, the Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée lounge is decked out in warm tones. The armchairs are by Freifrau and Baxter, the sofa by Italian brand Moroso. One wall is entirely adorned with faceted mirrors inspired by Manet's painting "Un bar aux Folies-Bergère", while another wall has served as a canvas for Rachel Convers's imagination, featuring some astonishing hybrid animals.

The marble and brass tables and velvet-covered seats are reminiscent of Parisian bistros. And the bar, vintage to perfection, is enhanced by a play of smoked mirrors and wall panels.

Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée offers a breakfast featuring fresh, high-quality products, most of them organic and local. A snack service is available in the lounge until 2am. The bar serves a wide variety of wines, gin, signature cocktails and typical French cocktails.

And as a summer treat, Motel One Paris-Porte Dorée boasts a lovely terrace facing the Bois de Vincennes and Lake Daumesnil!
