Hotel Paradiso, the mk2 cinema-hotel and its rooftop

If you're looking for originality, then discoverHotel Paradiso, the very first cinema-hotel in Paris, nestled in the 12th arrondissement. Behind this ambitious and unusual project are brothers Nathanaël and Elisha Karmitz, already at the helm of mk2 and creators of the Paradiso brand.

The idea behind the project? To offer visitors a memorable experience in which the cinematic dimension is present in every space. At theHotel Paradiso, the 7th art invites itself into the rooms. In concrete terms, each room can be transformed into a private cinema thanks to a window that transforms into a 3-metre-wide projection screen.

More in-room services? No problem, and you'll have access to a 100% digital cinema experience on a tablet, unlimited access to all the best VOD platforms and hotel services from the comfort of your bed, and mk2 film curation. The cinema can also be enjoyed outdoors, on the hotel's rooftop terrace, where a program of themed events is available. Finally,Hotel Paradiso offers guests exclusive access to the mk2 Nation cinema!

To make this project possible, the Karmitz brothers decided to call on a collective of talented artist-friends, including architects Daniel Vaniche and Paula Castro from the DVVD agency, decorator Alix Thomsen, art director Sarah Kahn, lighting designer Philippe Collet, as well as artists JR and Christian Boltanski, musician Woodkid and stylist Alexandre Mattiussi.
