Perched atop one of Jean Nouvel’s iconic Tours Duo skyscrapers in Paris, the TOO Hotel is an experience suspended in the clouds. Opened in 2022, this breathtaking retreat is the result of a visionary collaboration between renowned entrepreneur Laurent Taïeb and designer Philippe Starck. Together, they’ve created a haven where imagination and modernity intersect, one that captures the essence of Parisian life whilst allowing guests to view the City of Light through a different lens.
Nestled between Station F, the National Library of France, and the business district, the TOO Hotel rises high above the city on the top ten floors of a gleaming skyscraper. From this extraordinary vantage point, guests are treated to a kaleidoscope of Parisian landmarks that seem to shift and shimmer with the changing light. Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and Sacré-Cœur appear almost close enough to touch. Sunlight spills through the hotel’s glass walls, dancing across interiors designed for modern, urban living. Every corner of the TOO Hotel invites guests to savour the beauty of Paris from an entirely new perspective.
On the 25th floor, the TOO Restaurant feels like dining among the stars. Encased in a stunning glass cube with a gold ceiling, the restaurant offers sweeping views of the Parisian skyline. The menu, crafted by Benjamin Masson and Benjamin Six, is a celebration of global flavours, blending culinary creativity with cosmopolitan flair. Whether it’s a sunrise breakfast, an elegant dinner, or a sunset cocktail, every meal is elevated by the breathtaking surroundings.
This fall, the restaurant has taken its offerings to new heights with the introduction of a Sunday brunch unlike any other. Beginning at 11:45 a.m., guests are invited to indulge in a buffet that balances sweet creations by Benoît Castel with an array of savoury delights. For those seeking something extra, the à la carte menu offers dishes such as perfectly crafted Eggs Benedict, teriyaki salmon with Asian accents, tender Angus beef gyozas, and shakshuka featuring organic eggs and feta.
Just two floors above, the TOO TacTac Skybar takes the experience even higher. Its open-air terrace offers a mesmerising view of the city, making it the perfect spot for after-work drinks, vibrant DJ sets, or simply soaking in the magic of Paris at night. Here, time seems to stand still as conversations flow, music fills the air, and the city lights flicker like stars below.
For those seeking relaxation, the TOO Chill Spa is a dreamy escape far removed from the ordinary. With an outdoor jacuzzi nestled on a tree-lined terrace, a cedarwood sauna, and sunrise-facing treatment cabins, every moment at the spa feels like a retreat into serenity. The fully glass-walled gym offers yet another perspective of Paris, allowing guests to work out while gazing over the city.
From its inception, the hotel has been committed to blending seamlessly with its environment while embracing eco-conscious practices. It boasts multiple environmental certifications and incorporates features such as rainwater recovery and smart energy management. Even the architecture itself reflects this vision, with trees and shrubs taking root on the tower’s balconies, reminding guests that achieving harmony between urban living and nature is possible.
Located in the fast-growing neighbourhood already being dubbed “Downtown Paris”, the TOO Hotel stands as a meeting point for travellers, professionals, and locals alike. Just minutes from Gare d’Austerlitz and the Seine, it is perfectly positioned at the heart of Paris’ cultural and economic evolution. Here, the city’s future unfolds in wide, lively streets, hidden stairways, and innovative constructions that blend seamlessly with its historic charm.
For Laurent Taïeb, the TOO Hotel is a dream brought to life. “A castle floating above Paris,” as he describes it, where everything feels amplified: beauty, creativity, love, and freedom.
