SO/ Paris
4th Arr. (Île de la Cité/Île St-Louis & Beaubourg)This is modern-luxe Paris at its most forward-looking, projecting a sort of utopian optimism mixed with classic Parisian elegance. The public spaces are full of major contemporary artworks, and in this town a proper luxury hotel is expected to bring its best food and drink game; here the responsibility falls to Bonnie, a restaurant, club and bar that occupies the building’s top two floors with unparalleled city views from its wraparound terrace.

15th Arr. (Gare Montparnasse/Institut Pasteur)Located around the corner from the Porte de Versaille Expo, Mama Shelter’s second hotel in the French capital has all the trappings of the trendy mini-chain: colourful urban art, a youthful atmosphere and a happening rooftop bar where DJs spin on weekends. Mama Shelter Paris West also has an indoor basketball court and a print shop where you can design your own t-shirt, among other diversions.

15th Arr. (Gare Montparnasse/Institut Pasteur)The prolific Philippe Starck and the French-Brazilian architects Tryptique are responsible for the strikingly verdant Villa M, a modern structure sheathed in living vegetation on the Boulevard Pasteur in Montparnasse. It’s meant to be warmer, more serene and more organic than the typical Parisian boutique hotel – and on all counts it succeeds, from its ebullient yet calming Starck-designed rooms to its thoroughly welcoming public spaces. The latter include: a restaurant that opens onto an outdoor terrace; a lobby bar with an unusual inverted layout and a popular live music program; and a second bar, on the rooftop terrace, with views of the Eiffel Tower and the city’s skyline.

5th Arr. (Quartier Latin)One of Paris’s original high-design boutique hotels, Seven Hôtel is still going strong – and rather than rest on its original reputation, it’s continued to evolve and remains a Left Bank favourite for travellers in search of hospitality with personality. The location is close, but not too close, to the busier parts of the Latin Quarter and to Montparnasse – convenient enough, but quiet enough for a bit of residential-style calm.

20th Arr. (Père Lachaise Cemetery)Paris newbies be warned: this is the wild frontier when it comes to tourism, and Mama Shelter is best suited to adventurous types. You’re out on the far side of the Père Lachaise cemetery, and several minutes’ walk from the nearest Métro station. Most of your dining and drinking will be done in Mama’s restaurant and lounge, both of which, fortunately, are exemplary.

Mob House
Saint-OuenMob House’s aim is to create a new kind of residential hotel, along the lines of the live/work model with which we’ve all become so intimately familiar. It shares a founder with the Mama Shelter hotels, so it's no surprise that this too is a gathering place as much as a place to sleep, with a restaurant/bar open all day and film screenings and DJ sets at night.

Le Pigalle Paris
9th Arr. (Opéra Garnier/Pigalle)The ground floor features a café, a restaurant and bar (overseen by Camille Fourmont, from Buvette, a wine bar in the 11th), and a kiosk selling a carefully curated selection of books and newspapers. On the weekend the hotel puts on a proper party, complete with DJ, and even on a Sunday night it feels like a nexus of activity.
