The bathrooms are furnished with Parisian Metro tiles with quirky details, such as the \u201cGrasshopper\u201d floor lamp by Greta Grossman. In the lobby, guests are greeted by a striking vintage brass and Belgian bluestone front desk.<\/p>\n<p>After two years of extensive renovation, the neo-gothic 1897 property is now a showcase of modern design.<\/p>\n<p>Each of the 38 rooms and suites are cut differently and befittingly furnished with individual character, while also showing sensitivity to the building\u2019s historical details. Some of the suites feature six-meter-high cross vaults, while the Salon Suite boasts a handpainted medieval wooden ceiling from 1390.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
