The taxis and VTCs are still feeling their way around the destination. But the address should quickly become part of their repertoire, and that of business travellers. As of 24 February, the Melia INNSiDE Paris CDG hotel welcomes its first travellers "at the foot of the slopes", or almost. The contrast between the tranquillity of the 266 rooms and the turmoil of the Paris hub is striking: you go to bed in the comfortable silence of a soundproof bubble, and wake up a few hours later with a breathtaking view of Terminal 1, before heading for boarding. To ensure a smooth transition between the comfortable cocoon designed by Jean-Philippe Nuel - already behind the Melia La Défenseor theIntercontinental Hotel Dieu in MarseilleThe new INNSiDE has pulled out all the stops, with a modern, even trendy, ambience. In fact, the hotel's public areas have a modern, even trendy atmosphere, with a strong emphasis on well-being: afterworks, DJs and even barber and manicure services regularly enliven the hotel lobby. This lively, colourful touch is even cultivated in some of the event spaces, which are often too studious. For example, the Melia INNSiDE Paris Charles De Gaulle hotel has a "Big Idea Spacea 59 m² area designed to stimulate participants' creativity. On the programme: board games, table tennis, a vintage espresso machine and design décor in acidic shades. To take care of their bodies or their stomachs - two options that are ultimately compatible - business travellers can then head, depending on the time and mood, to theInFit spacea resolutely modern 24/7 service, or to the L'Olivine and its Mediterranean flavours. And you might just be tempted by one of the signature cocktails concocted by the expert hands of the local mixologist...
The arrival of the INNSiDE hotel at Paris CDG is no small feat. It is part of a genuine renaissancea new dynamic inspired by the Melia Group. In particular, the Spanish hotelier intends to convert certain establishments to this lifestyle credo Soilanother of the group's brands, which is due to disappear. In the wake of Melia INNSiDE Paris, the brand's catalogue is set to expand rapidly, both in seaside locations currently occupied by Sol, and - to a large extent - in business destinations. Prague, BerlinMilan, Bangkok Sukhumvit, Halong Bay, Iskandar Johor, Camaguey, Lisbon, Liverpool, Newcastle: the roadmap of forthcoming openings bears witness to the new positioning of the INNSiDE brand, resolutely focused on bleisure. One foot on the beach, the other in business meetings, one eye on the airport and the other on the barber shop: the new INNSiDE has arrived, and it's banking on the best of both worlds.
