Review
----------
This four star hotel is one of the most amazing experiences I have had in France. it easily surpasses the impersonal and dated styles of the more traditional hotels.
What makes this hotel different is that the rooms are both a Feng Shui masterpiece as well as being smart-home environments. The porter must expain to you how the lighting, AC and bathroom works. Everything about the space from dimming lights, B&O TV, textures, colours, designer mineral water, materials, fabrics has been custom selected for my sensual enjoyment.
To understand the space requires you to interact with it. This includes taking 20 minutes to unpack your bags and occupy the room with your personal effects. Once "at home" you store your luggage at the entrance door in a corner space. The lighting is totally adjustable which adds enormous comfort to reading, TV and snoozing. Adjusting the bathroom to 10% lighting is great late at night. The setting is memorised when the lights are on. Even the shower requires personal adjustment to your own settings. The main head is just a fine spray for lathering. The extremely high quality hand held nozzle is for rinsing.
