The Five Hotel Paris smells, and lights up…

airfrancemadameI was looking atThe Five Hotel and discovered this very interesting concept in hospitality. The Five Hotel allows you to choose the smells (via incense) and using fiber optic lighting change the lighting in your Hotel Room.
I was so surprised that anyone would think of this that I chose it for the first blog post on my blog. I don’t even know if it’s a good idea, but it is a feature and some reviews that I read seem to love it as they claim added romance, more intimacy and an overall better stay at the Five Hotel.

The Air France Madame Magazine states, “And then it’s time to switch off completely once your reach your room – narrow but remarkably well fitted out in abstract designs, and where the emphasis has been placed firmly on lighting: embedded in the ceilings, headboards and bathroom, fiber optics diffuse light like a shower of stars in a cocoon-like atmosphere.”

I think their description makes it more interesting.
I "borrowed" this from the Five Hotel in Paris Website
The rest of the Air France Madame Review of the Five Hotel in Paris is available at:  http://thefivehotel-paris.com/en/news/airfrance-madame.html.

Let me know what you think.  I’d be curious to know your thoughts on whether this sort of lighting and smells would convince you to stay at one hotel over another?

Thanks.

Why I am doing this?

Hi.  If you’re reading this, then it is because you are wondering why I am bothering to write anything about my trips to Paris.  Well, the truth is that I absolutely love Paris!  I have traveled extensively, but Paris is absolutely my  favorite city.

If you have never been to Paris, I hope you find useful information on this blog.  I have absolutely no intention of writing college level papers.  I write conversationally and this will undoubtedly turn off the snooty, boring blog snobs out there.  To them, I say, go read Le Figaro or something.

If you have been to Paris, or if you currently live in Paris, drop me an email.  I am always looking for good tips.  Even though I don’t mind forcing secrets out of my friends, it’d be nice to surprise them every one and awhile.

So in short, if you want to know something about Paris, I may know about it, and can always blog to questions.  So just email me.  Otherwise, I hope you find my humor, advice and tips a little bit more useful than your typical dry Tourist Guide or overly biased review blog that currently dominant the Paris blog landscape.

Warning:  I am highly opinionated, always right and French! So, if you don’t like what I write, go read, well you know…

Below is a picture that I find totally captures the reasons I love Paris.  The picture was taken atop the hill near Saint Genevieve Cathedral and the Pantheon.   We dined at a totally local dig whose name escapes me but had a lower level cave where the previous owner hid 200 Jewish kids during the second World War.  These are some of my closest friends.

I am in the blue shirt!

Thank you for taking an interest in my blog, Paris and taking the time to read this.  Hopefully, you will discover the benefits  I hope to inspire.

Sincerely,

David Kartuzinski
