Paris has long been a haven for literary types, and the Apostrophe Hotel pays homage to this long-standing tradition. The hotel itself is a poem, created it with the idea of telling their clientele a story with each room and decoration. The literary experience here begins with carefully chosen literary themes depicted through their decor that uses words and text, along with bright visual images, to create the poetic effect and give the guest the feeling as if the hotel is a book itself. This is by no means a minimalist hotel and is as enchanting as it is poetic; it will surely inspire you to start looking for cheap international flights to the City of Lights to begin a new chapter in your travels!
