【Travel Fun Fact】Sleep on the Seine River: Paris’s First Floating Hotel!

By: Xiao Lv Hai (Little Travel Kid)

When choosing a hotel for your trip, there are always countless factors to consider—perhaps price, location, ambiance, and more. But if you value design, staying at Paris’s first floating hotel, Off Paris Seine, might be your best choice. The hotel has been open since June and is located between Gare d’Austerlitz and Gare de Lyon.

Compared to most tourists who stroll along the Seine or take a boat ride, staying directly on the river is even more romantic. The hotel features 54 rooms, 4 suites, and a bar with stunning river views. Additionally, it includes an indoor walking path and a swimming pool.

The hotel is actually designed on a refurbished catamaran, connected to the shore by a 10-meter-long gangway, with the overall construction costing up to £11 million. There are five types of rooms available; the basic Dock View Room offers a unique view of the historic buildings at Gare d’Austerlitz, and from the terrace, you can enjoy the dock scenery along the Seine. Room rates range from €199 to €528 for a double room, whether it’s worth it depends on personal perspective!
