Le Citizen Hotel du Canal Paris

Dear Shaded Viewers,

The other day I posted some photos of the new hotel, Le Citizen, but tonight I decided to go to the welcome cocktail with Shoji. Sophie Berdah, the owner of Le Citizen, gave us a tour of the 12 rooms. All have a view on the Canal St. Martin and each room is a little different from the other. The Concept  is ECO-CITOYEN. The hotel interiors were designed by Christophe Delcourt. Eco Responsable Shinsuke Kawahara of Usagi (a much appreciated Japanese restaurant in Paris) prepares les Bentos Citizen. Jose Villalobos created the website and Matt Murphy the visual identity of Le Citizen. 

Each of the twelve rooms has a different layout, all very cozy.

Some of the rooms have bathtubs

Each room looks out on the Canal St. Martin, it is a very French/Japanese experience at a reasonable price. Recommended by A Shaded View.
