Metro: Cour St Emilion

Description:

4 star contemporary hotel located in the posh district of Bercy Village, between the Grande Bibliotheque, the Bercy Omnisport sport centre, Bastille and Marais. 7 Min from Madeleine via subway. 1800 sqm of modular space with amphitheatre. In a building bathed in light, beautifully proportioned, intelligent (all rooms with ISDN connection) and refined comfort, creating a perfect balance between a spaciousness and intimacy, modernity and the past, the Sofitel Paris Bercy has been designed to stand in an environment where the contemporary refers back to the past. With its elegant architecture, a play on concepts of light and transparency, the Sofitel Paris Bercy rises \like a ship's bow made of glass gliding out over the Seine\"" (Philippe Chamblas Cabinet M. Macary - Architect).""
