Following the opening of M Social in New York’s Times Square earlier this summer, lifestyle hospitality brand M Social is about to open a new hotel in Paris. M Social Hotel Paris Opera, which will shelter 163 rooms, will become the brand’s debut hotel in Europe when it opens later this month. Located at 12 Boulevard Haussmann, the hotel is in the heart of Opeฬra making it within walking distance to some of the cityโ€™s most famous landmarks including the Louvre, the Sacreฬ-Cล“ur and the Moulin Rouge. To cater to a new diverse community of travellers, EUR 5.4 million was spent on refurbishing the former Millennium Paris Opera into more contemporary lodgings.

โ€œPeople are in search of new and exciting experiences. M Social is all about creativity and passion. Combine this with the hotelโ€™s central location and you have a winning formula to satiate travellersโ€™ wanderlust,โ€ said Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Executive Chairman of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Limited. โ€œWith Europe re-opening, this is an opportune time for us to introduce M Social to this key gateway city.โ€

A hub for explorers, M Social Hotel Paris Opera features spaces that are designed to be accessible, comfortable and practical to guestsโ€™ needs with rooms that offer sweeping views overlooking the famous Boulevard Haussmann. The hotel is conveniently located near major shopping, art and cultural attractions of the Paris Opera district. Guests are guaranteed to experience Paris like a true Parisian in the heart of the city of lights escaping the hustle and bustle in timelessly stylish surroundings.

Step back in time to 1920s elegance as soon as you walk through the revolving door into the hotelโ€™s Art Deco foyer, made of marble surfaces, ornate chandeliers and a glass-roofed cupola. StudioCaid, the creative architects behind the newly renovated areas, describes the design concept as an exchange of styles that emphasises the contrast between classic and modern. They have incorporated into the design the artistic styles of the surrounding iconic infrastructures such as the Opera Garnier and the Louvre to create the โ€œHotel of Todayโ€. Each room holds the history of Les Anneฬes Folles (in English โ€œThe Roaring Twentiesโ€) and the future of M Social Paris. The newly renovated rooms allow guests to have an authentic Parisian experience within the comforts of todayโ€™s modern world. Accommodation choices range from cosy yet spacious Signature rooms that give views into the hotelโ€™s peaceful inner courtyard to Grande Sweetie suites that offer separate living areas and breathtaking views of the Opera Garnier or the Sacreฬ- Cล“ur.

The M Social brand was launched in Singapore in 2016. Millennium Hotels and Resorts plans to grow the brand in more cities with strong character, to capture diverse stories and build up a vibrant and creative community. M Social Hotel Paris Opera is the fourth location for the brand with other outposts in New York, Singapore and Auckland.
