Top 5 suites in attics


Also known as the Chambre de bonne, it was historically used and designed as a separate room at bourgeois apartments where domestic employees would sleep and rest. Because of its typical slanted ceiling and reduced space, it was considered to provide minimal confort.

 As time went by, these were suddenly being rented for cheap as separate apartments,  usually occupied by artists and writers from la boheme, or simply esteemed as the “good-for-everything” room

From cheap and low-comfort, to extra cozy and full of character, they are the perfect temporary accomodation for savvy travelers. Mostly part of beautifully aged metropolitan buildings, they also provide a sense of belonging to the city itself.

Transforming a tight space into comfortable and full of light suites can be a great challenge, but with amazing interior design and clever use of space, a perfect balance is achieved between the old and the new. Guests can feel at home and hip at the same time, like contemporary versions of the parisian creatives.
