By Siena Morrell, VeryChic correspondent

I won’t lie: I have never been able to shake my reservations about themed hotels. France’s capital now boasts a handful of eclectic design hotels, and for some reason unknown to me, they remain popular as ever. So, when a friend whose judgement I never question suggested I stay at the Secret de Paris, my interest was piqued: rather than laughing him off, I made my reservation. Nowadays, “unique” and “original” are sympathetic synonyms for “nice try, but not for me.” But, I have a secret to share, and I’m (almost) not ashamed to admit it: I have been converted. Hats off to proprietor Christophe Mendjel and creative visionary Sandrine Alouf : the Hotel Design Secret de Paris **** may have proved me wrong.

In the early 2000s, Paris was gripped by a mysterious trend: a group of trouble-making party-animals launched the J’ai les clefs or I’ve got the keys nights. They would invest in unusual destinations in the capital to throw extravagant and hedonistic parties. But neither the unusual places (abandoned theatres, factory warehouses) or the presence of some of the most exciting new names in music on the decks were enough to explain the phenomenal success of the parties. To know where the party was going to be held, wannabe partygoers had to compete for a mail invitation, the essential key to their successful entry. Intrigue and exclusivity are sure-fire successful assets to any original concept.

Well, the Hotel Design Secret de Paris **** has a similar concept: but you have the keys to this exclusive boutique hotel. A fairly straitlaced Londoner by birth, and Parisian by choice, I was sceptical. I couldn’t imagine a stay “in” the Musée d’Orsay, the Moulin Rouge, the Opéra Garnier or the Trocadéro would be anything more than a tourist trap.

The building itself has been restored to an extremely high standard, and by day, the outside gives no hint as to the extravagance and creative vision inside. By night, small spotlights illuminate the facade in the hotel’s trademark blue and purple. Scarcely through the door of 2 rue de Parme in the 9th arrondissement, I am immersed in the living history of the city. The lobby is dark and whimsical, with iron balustrades evocative of Paris’s signature balconies; the quilted leather check-in desks even remind me slightly of Chanel’s instantly recognisable bags. The staff are polite and professional, which makes me more open to the hotel’s design concept: serious attention to detail and caring hospitality, despite the whimsical decor.

The check-in formalities give me an opportunity to look around. Purple, black, and silver throughout, the interior design is not understated, but certainly executed to a high standard. The walls suggest the hotel’s design theme, a tribute to Paris’s monuments, with large-scale images of the Trocadéro, Musée d’Orsay and Eiffel Tower. In the morning, the space offers an excellent continental breakfast, and in the afternoon, a delicious tea. A smartly liveried concierge escorted me up the red-lacquered staircase to my room; the carpet, I realise, is patterned with a charming key motif. I’ve got the keys, I think to myself.

As the concierge talks at length about the design concept, I admittedly tune him out, more intrigued and curious to discover which of Paris’s principal attractions I will find when I turn the key in the door. I’ve been swept up by the dream-like decor already, and as we continue climbing the staircase I find myself excited about what is to come. Whichever room you get, though, a genuine Parisian treasure waits for you: the rooms are cosy, comfortable, and finished to an extremely high calibre. Perfectly soundproofed, with a vast flat-screen TV and various gadgets and gismos, including a bespoke “atmosphere creator”, with which guests can change the lighting schemes, the Secret de Paris uses advanced technology to cater to guests’ needs. That said, no traditional comfort has been sacrificed: the linens are excellent, and complimentary Azzaro toiletries are a welcome treat.

Just steps from Montmartre, Opéra Garnier, and the department stores of the 9th, the Hotel Design Secret de Paris **** is a well-placed base to explore the capital. That is, of course, if you ever want to leave: the spa is open 24/7, you can get everything from a club sandwich to caviar from room service, and the lounge bar is a lively, atmospheric spot to share a drink with other guests.

Someone once said to me that a secret is only to be repeated to one person. Well, the Hotel Design Secret de Paris **** won’t stay that way for long: just make sure you get there before your friends do...
