A LOCKE studio apartment is no ordinary holiday abode and its design-led approach to the home-meets-hotel format is now to be experienced in the heart of Paris at Le Jardin de Verre by Locke.
It is Locke’s 17th property and the location, on the southern bank of the Seine in the 5th arrondissement, is as hard to beat as the variety in 11 different categories across its 145 rooms: studios and family rooms, designed by edyn, sit alongside two signature suites thought up by Fettle.
Out and about in the 5th arrondissement
A warm-looking reception area at Le Jardin de Verre by Locke
The neighbourhood’s heritage is integral to the identity of a property that incorporates a 20th-century industrial factory and an 18th-century Parisian residence. The terracotta floor of the main entrance is enlivened by colourful furnishings and verdant foliage while concrete columns and restored factory metalwork bear testimony to the past. The street address, Rue de Lacépède, was famous in its time for grand public gardens and natural light is at play in the aparthotel’s courtyard atrium.
East living for a short or extended stay
The simplicity of style
Studio apartments feature fitted kitchens and provide more space than the usual hotel room and, soon to come, will be an on-site gym and yoga studio and a boardroom for meetings and events. This summer will see the opening of a restaurant in the atrium with a bar, a dedicated cocktail bar, wine counter and a terrace.
