Hoy Paris

Themed hotels don’t come much more straightforwardly named than HOY Paris - Yoga Hotel. It’s the fusion of the twin passions of Charlotte Gomez de Orozco, hospitality school graduate and certified yoga teacher, and features a vegan restaurant by the team behind London’s Plant Academy, a Japanese florist, interior design that follows Feng Shui principles, and a wellness center that goes beyond massage and beauty treatments into the realm of meditation, energy work, and holistic gynecology.

HOY stands for House of Yoga, but it’s also Spanish for “today,” and there’s something very of-the-moment about the hotel’s obsessive focus on self-care. The rooms are cozy, in typical Parisian style, but ultra-calming in neutral tones and organic materials, and they’re as comfortable as they are stylish. The drinking water is charcoal-filtered, the bath products are organic, and there’s a stretching bar provided so you can stay loose.

Mesa, the restaurant and bar, is a culinary tribute to the founder’s Latin American heritage, and it’s also one of the healthiest tables in town, thanks to plant-based chefs Lauren Lovatt and Carolina Rodriguez. Safe to say, given its intensely personal perspective, there isn’t another boutique hotel quite like it, in Paris or anywhere else.
