Karine Partouche, "the 3.14" five continents for a hotel "

3.14 Hotel looks like the life, the childhood of two young women. "Dad was an airline pilot," says Karine, "and we have traveled a lot, hence the idea of ​​bringing together all the countries we visited in one place.Travel brings openness, tolerance. have put our soul. "

The tone is given as soon as you enter the hall where a funny garden gnome, Murano glass, symbol of youth and wisdom for Karine, welcomes you. It overlooks a beautiful fountain of the 50s reported from Venice. "The garden gnome reminds me of my walks with my grandfather when we saw these men in the pavilions," says a nostalgic strand, the young woman.

On the ground floor, they decided to condemn, either by plants or by curtains, all openings overlooking the street. This gives even more the sensation of being in a cocoon, to be caulked.

The decoration of this hotel, whose 5 floors represent a continent each, is based on the combination of bright colors, silky fabrics, wood and metal. It differs from that of hotels surrounding, like the Carlton where classicism is de rigueur. "These great hotels are beautiful, Karine remarks, but we really wanted to offer customers a different world, so that they feel comfortable. These have immediately adhered to this decoration, men even more. It changes them in their daily lives. They find themselves in an atmosphere that they would not dare to choose for home. "
An experience that gave both young women the desire to start again.
