Nobody uses the stairs in Dokhan's where a Louis Vuitton wardrobe trunk dating from 1910 serves as an elevator. Architect Frédéric Méchiche worked his magic on the house and has maintained the typical Parisian facade while borrowing inspiration from the English villas of the 18th century. A few items from the 17th and 18th centuries adorn the 41 rooms along with Méchiche's trade mark features, heavy, striped materials in refined colors. Also typically Méchiche is the inclusion of one too many pieces of furniture in a room. The rooms feel a little too overcrowded. He himself names this style "renouveau regency". Best choice is the Eiffel suite with bar, whirlpool and, naturally a window with a view on the tower of the same name.
