We stayed in the One by the Five for two nights and had a lovely romantic break from the rest of life. The suite is part of a hotel however it is in a separate building and so you are completely left to your own devices - your only interruption will be your breakfast being delivered at a time of your convenience (TIP: Make sure you have already unwrapped the bath robes for when the door-bell rings as they will keep ringing and you will end up fighting with your bath-robe) :)

One by the Five is designed to make you think about just the two of you and it really does achieve that well. From the champagne in the fridge, to your own private dance floor, to the cocktail receipes, to Edith Piaf and Barry White on the ipod (they have a really great selection of music tracks), to the bedroom and rain shower - it really is fabulous....and great fun.

It is expensive at 940 Euros per night (includes breakfast, the champagne, the fresh fruit in the fridge, the spirits and bottles of water) but it was really worth it and if you want to treat your spouse/partner/partner to be to something special then this is something they won't forget.

The staff were great, extremely welcoming and have great recommendations for local places in the Latin Quarter - they really help to make your visit perfect (thanks to all for such a great stay).

.....and on final note, the bed is probably the most comfortable we have ever slept in...you never want to leave.

This suite is the thing of dreams. It is full of romance and personality. There are surprising accents galore. The vision in creating this experience is phenomenal. I highly recommend this suite for a truly romantic stay unlike anything else.

My husband and I spent the best nights of our life in the One by the Five Hotel. The experience is so unique, so amazing... it looks like in a dream or a fairy tale. As soon as you enter in the lounge, the first impression is WOW!
And you get in the bedromm, you say « Oh My God, how magnificent is it!!! » The One's interior decoration will you make serene and all your daily anxieties will definitely move away from you.
You can admire the Parisian starry sky in privacy in your own bedroom, while you have the impression to float on your magic bed in weightlessness. The mattress is so comfortable: you could be unable to leave your room to visit the city.
Personnel very professional
Love feeling, love atmosphere, LOVE and romanticism: welcome to Paris, welcome to the One! You will LOVE it!

We have tried quite few nice upscale hotels but this one is definitely worth trying. Behind an unappealing facade, start an amazing journey. In a typical parisian district, we felt far from everything. The One is THE place for couples looking for an escape, far from the reality of life, looking for complete privacy and above all an amazing experience. I can't say everything about this place as it has to be a bit of surprise, but let say it is the ideal place for a wedding proposal, for a honeymoon or just for a dirty weekend far far from the screaming kids. The design is great, the fittings are luxurious, the bed is a dream, everything has been created to create a one off experience. It is like being in your bubble, the two of you. and if you need a break, Paris is on your doorstep and its restaurants, bars, nightlife etc... So all in all we had an amazing time and we can only recommend this place for couples like us just looking to get away from it all.
If you are looking for a hotel with a difference, this is definitely for you and you will not regret it.
