BABEL

Babel - Hotel, bar and restaurant in Belleville, Paris 20th - Inspired by the end of the world and the street next door... BABEL has taken up residence in Belleville - a popular neighbourhood in the heart of Paris where every piece of wall tells a story and life springs up from the pavement. Mingling on its streets are tourists and Parisians, artists' ateliers and bars, halal butchers and synagogues. Cosmopolitan, shambolic, generous, Belleville is a fête that BABEL celebrates every day... The hotel elevator is a voyage unto itself. On the ride up, the Tower of Babel scrolls by, detailed scenes drawn in Indian ink visible through the glass booth. The doors open onto a warmly inviting hallway, where time stands still.
