Unveiling the theatrically designed apartments-hotel by Locke, now in the heart of Paris
Le Jardin de Verre by Locke: A Stylish Aparthotel Debut in Paris' Historic Latin Quarter
Nestled in the vibrant 5th arrondissement of Paris, Le Jardin de Verre by Locke is a design-led aparthotel that has made its Parisian debut. Situated on Rue de Lacépède, the hotel is within easy reach of iconic landmarks such as the Panthéon, Jardin des Plantes, Sorbonne University, and major sites like Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle.
Design and Architecture
Le Jardin de Verre by Locke showcases a blend of Parisian classicism and industrial elements, with spacious rooms featuring rich dark oak floors, tall windows, and materials like raw stainless steel and concrete. The hotel comprises 135 to 145 rooms across 11 categories, offering generous studio and suite accommodations by Parisian standards. Notable among these are the Begonia and Roseraie suites, designed by London and LA-based studio Fettle, which offer a refined Parisian apartment feel or a more theatrical, expressive ambiance.
The Roseraie suite, for instance, includes a bespoke chandelier, skylight, and a freestanding bath overlooking the courtyard. In addition, the hotel's design intentionally leaves some of the original building features exposed, such as the existing factory metalwork or concrete columns.
Food and Beverage
The hotel offers an on-site restaurant, Bibie brasserie, and a lounge/bar space popular with both guests and locals. Bibie's menu, created by chef Loïc Julliand, features French and Mediterranean influences and includes popular dishes like Vitello Tonnato, Beignets de Courgettes, and Poulet Fermier. The cocktail bar, with its two oversized bespoke chandeliers, offers a chic and inviting atmosphere for guests to unwind.
Location Benefits
Le Jardin de Verre by Locke is praised for its easy metro access and proximity to many attractions, including cultural sites and nightlife. It is about 0.9 miles from central Paris and near popular tourist destinations like Arc de Triomphe and Cathédrale Notre-Dame.
Unique Collaborations
The hotel collaborates with local businesses such as Coutume for specialty coffee and Klin d'oeil for artisanal goods, enhancing the guest experience. The most exclusive suites (Begonia and Roseraie) were designed by Fettle, adding a bespoke, theatrical design edge to these accommodations. The in-house design effort reflects Locke’s parent company's influence (Edyn), blending industrial and classical styles.
Room Categories
The Terrace Suite, a mid-tier option, stands out with its own outdoor space, a full kitchen, and a separate bedroom. The most luxurious accommodations are the signature Begonia suite (two levels) and Roseraie suite (single floor, 67 sq m).
In summary, Le Jardin de Verre by Locke stands out for its spacious, elegantly designed rooms combining industrial and Parisian classic styles, a strong culinary and social scene on site, strategic central Paris location, and unique designer collaborations on its signature suites.
This stylish aparthotel, Le Jardin de Verre by Locke, offers a unique blend of home-and-garden and travel experiences, with its location in the historic Latin Quarter of Paris providing easy access to various landmarks. After a day of exploring the city, guests can unwind in their spacious rooms, influenced by a lifestyle that melds Parisian classicism with industrial elements, such as the Terrace Suite that features an outdoor space and a full kitchen.
