This winter, Locke, the apartment hotel brand known for its distinctive design, is opening the doors of its first property in France, located in the heart of Paris's Latin Quarter. Called Le Jardin de Verre by Locke, this new establishment will be the group's 17th property.
Le Jardin de Verre by Locke offers 145 rooms in 11 categories, including two suites: Suite Begonia and Suite Penthouse. Guests will have access to a gym, yoga studio, café, courtyard dining area and a three-storey restaurant with bar, terrace and cocktail bar.
The building blends history and modernity, resulting from the fusion of two sixteenth-century mansions and a nineteenth-century industrial factory. The main entrance, located in a former eighteenth-century Parisian residence, opens onto an area once famous for its public gardens. The hotel's design, by London and Californian studio Fettle, incorporates plenty of interior greenery and maximises natural light through a central atrium.
The rooms, designed by edyn's in-house team, combine stylistic elements from three different eras: the 18th-century townhouse, the 20th-century industrial era and the 21st-century hotel. Dark oak floors and floor-to-ceiling Haussmann-style windows contrast with stainless steel kitchens and expressive textile patterns.
Since opening its first property in 2016, Locke now has 16 properties across the UK and Europe, attracting a diverse clientele for short or extended stays.
