Smaller than Azzedine Alaïa's 3 rooms, less ephemeral than the Everland hotel's mobile room - perched last year on the roofs of the Palais de Tokyo - here is the Villa Diamant, where a single flat offers "luxury hotel services in a more personalised setting".
The setting is a quiet courtyard in the rue de la Montagne- Sainte-Geneviève, a stone's throw from the Panthéon. A former cloister converted into a charming contemporary home, with three bedrooms and a well-equipped office. The difference is in the aesthetics, but also in the service. For example, the Villa's concierge picks up guests at the airport and is available at all times throughout their stay. How very practical.
