SO/Paris emerges as Ennismore group's latest flagship, continuing its tradition of embracing local and diverse creativity, offering a space where art, design, and fashion collide. Guillaume Henry, the Artistic Director of Patou, designed the crew's uniforms, and chairs by Pierre Paulin— the French master of groovy furniture—are featured prominently. These and more "If you know, you know" design elements are featured throughout the interiors, highlighting the chic, colorful vernacular style that epitomizes French post-modern design.

SO/Paris's design and atmosphere draw inspiration from Paris's history, and the geography of the Île Louviers. Architects Denis Montel and Julia Capp of RDAI crafted an interior that blends materials, craftsmanship, and technology, paying homage to the city with vibrant prints and concentric circles throughout, a symbol of Paris's iconic form.

The hotel displays 122 artworks, including commissions by Neil Beloufa and Olafur Eliasson and selections from Thomas Fougeirol, Elsa Sahal, and Alice Guittard's flagship collections. The Emerige group curates on behalf of the hotel, providing a gallery-like experience for viewers. By scanning a QR Code, visitors can access each artwork's history and insights into the artist's vision, directly engaging with the narrative behind the art.

SO/Paris houses 22 suites across floors 8 to 14. Three room options provide serene garden views or panoramic vistas of the Seine and Paris landmarks, including the Eiffel Tower. Eco-friendly designs, luxurious amenities, and lush, cozy beds characterize each room, emphasizing the hotel's commitment to sustainability and comfort. For even more relaxation, SO/Paris invites guests to The Maison Codage Spa for bespoke skin treatments, and access to the Ô Zenhit sports club for a workout and a swim in their 20-meter pool.

The 15th floor of SO/Paris showcases the fusion of design and gastronomy, where "The Seeing City" installation by Olafur Eliasson and Sebastian Behmann transforms Bonnie—the hotel's bar and club—into a panoramic spectacle, offering 360° views of the Seine, Parisian islands, and beautiful rooftops. Architect Jordane Arrivetz, in collaboration with Paris Society, infused the décor with the chic and liberating spirit of the 60s, melding David Chipperfield's existing architecture with a Pierre Cardin-inspired retro-future aesthetic. The menu enhances this setting, featuring French culinary art with seasonal dishes and brasserie classics.
