The SO/Paris has gone through a special transformation with a fashion-centric focus that breaches into the hotel's boutique. This project is done in collaboration with luxury department store La Samaritaine to create year-round activations nestled right in its lobby.
Over the past years, the hotel has had a close connection with activations for Paris Fashion Week, deepening its roots in art, fashion, and luxury. The hotel features 162 rooms and suites with a restaurant and club dubbed Bonnie. Some of the amenities include a tranquil spa, a fitness center, and panoramic views of the city. The interior is decorated by the team at the iconic design agency RDAI with inspiration drawn from the city's heritage and geography.
