As the Idol Hotel is a dedication to music, it features a special soundtrack. Yann Gasparini called on François Mazza aka "DJ Maz", renowned record dealer and bassist with the Paris Funk Orchestra, a specialist in Black music from the 60s/70s/80s. He selected vinyl records and placed Elipson's emblematic "Planet L" spheres in the rooms, as well as old turntables in the common areas.

A surprising hotel that's sure to be a hit with 70s music fans!
