the floating OFF hotel docks by the riverbank of the seine in paris

with the plethora of hotels, hostels and accommodation available for visitors to paris, the recently opened OFF hotel offers people a different experience due to its unique location and concept. based on the seine – 21st arrondissement – the floating craft is docked at the foot of the fare d’austerlitz between the charles de gaulle bridge.

the OFF paris seine is designed by gèrard ronzatti / seine design; comprised of 58 rooms including four suites, a tapa and cocktail bar, a plunge pool and summer terrace area. the vessel-like structure is topped with a slanting zinc roof that opens the façades outwards to the water, while a central glass ceiling invites natural light into the interior. set 10 meters out from the riverbank via walkways and a marina, sections of the façade can be accessed by the public; this celebrates the transparency of volumes, while the areas belonging to the hotel is marked with a silver-­wood finish which blends naturally into the environment.
