“A modern and minimalist version of Hotel Costes, this design hotel in Paris is most popular with young, trendy media types.”
Costes K is the luxury hotel of choice in Paris for working media folk. Positioned off-centre, between the Arc de Triomphe and the Seine, and not far from the Eiffel Tower, the Costes K is an office conversion, which means they've had plenty of space to play with. Lurking behind the traditional façade is a 1993 building, is a large interior court filled with greenery.
The facilities
The public spaces in this luxury hotel, including large informal snack, drinks and meeting areas, are filled with light from large floor to ceiling windows. A ramp leads up to reception from the street.
The rooms
Most of the 83 rooms in this luxury hotel are of decent size, the junior suites offering 55 sq metres. Décor is functional if a little bland, with a design edge - blond wood, beige carpet, pale brown leather. Walls are cream, with no pictures to relieve them, but designer lamps and odd chairs lend character. Bathrooms are generally small, but pristine in white travertine tiling.

Who stays here
The sister hotel, the Costes, is famous for its super-starry clientele: everyone from Kylie Minogue to Annie Leibowitz. The Costes K's crowd is equally young and trendy but not as high-powered; consequently, there's also much less attitude and ego.
