You’re offered a free drink on the house when you arrive, whatever you want. Drinks are brought to you in reception or in your room. You’ll find anything from house wine by the glass to a bottle of Grande Dame Veuve Clicquot; the Pimms Champagne cocktail is popular.

• Recreational: You can play CDs through the in-room DVD player (though the sound is not as rich); there is also a library of DVD movies in reception - free to raid.

When to go?

There is a price supplement per person per room during the salons (the 3- to 4-day trade fairs and fashion shows), of which there are ten throughout the year, Prêt-à-Porter being the best known. September, October and March are the busier months.

Author's tips

• We loved the design - courtesy of Christophe Pillet, whose black plastic desk chairs are in all the rooms, alongside a book of his work. You won't need to bring reading matter: each room has a collection of great design books, the sort you actually want to sit and read.
  
  Photographers will love it here too: the downstairs walls host photographic exhibitions, and the whole building invites arty snapshots. Somehow the colour grey glistens throughout the hotel, warm as the evening sun. Tubes of illuminated glass hang like wind chimes from ceilings, vases of white light stand a metre high, a single stem rising from within.
