Setting

On the urban edge

Like assembled Avengers, designer Philippe Starck has teamed with entrepreneur Michel Reybier and vegan pioneer and philosopher Cyril Aouizerate to conceive Mob House, an eco-aware Parisian pad in up-and-coming Saint Ouen that is at once utilitarian and very luxe… and we're delighted to report, it works. Every detail has been pored over: artisanal French tiles, sweeps of marble juxtaposed with concrete, rice-straw headboards, parquet floors (natch) and wall paint mixed from straw and clay. Digital nomads will adore the live/work model at play here, with bedrooms concealed by stylish drapes, work areas and fully functional meeting spaces inside the next-gen industrial suites. Outside, the Marché des Puces, one of the world's finest flea markets, offers you the chance to play interior designer yourself for the day.

Our Favourite Rooms

In terms of decor, they’re all a treat for fans of pared-back industrial surrounds, but we were captivated by the MH 43T room. This offers more space with a comfy lounge area and the bedroom neatly tucked away with a mere swish of the stylish drapes. The private terrace is a charming bonus and the ideal spot for a pre-dinner aperitif.

Poolside

The 20-metre, heated, open-air pool is open from 7am–9pm (though, it closes from November until March). It’s surrounded by trees and loungers – a particularly welcome spot during the humid Parisian summer months. Children can use the pool as long as they’re supervised.

Packing Tips

A shopping tote with bottomless Mary Poppins capacity for all your flea market swag.

Hotel Restaurant

Star Parisian chef Jérôme Banctel designed the eco-conscious menu for the Feuille de Chou brasserie. There’s room for 150 inside this industrial dining room with a bohemian twist – note the exposed piping overhead and the little busts and trinkets under polished glass cloches. Outside on the bulb-strung patio, there’s seating for 80 more diners to enjoy the flavourful organic French food with healthy intentions. Vegetables are the stars of the show here, with extra love for the once-lowly cabbage, but you’ll find a few chicken, seafood and fish flavours here and there. The Ficelé‘Feuille de chou’, a concoction of seasonal veg roasted, rolled and infused to perfection, is a must.

Hotel Bar

The glittering gold bar, right next to the restaurant and open from 10am to midnight, is the domain of mixologist Nicolas de Soto. Locals and hotel guests mingle casually here over bar snacks and all-organic cocktails made with infused spirits. Try the Pandaiquiri: coconut-infused rum and lime juice mixed with syrup made from the tropical Pandan plant.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

There aren’t many outdoor Parisian pools as nice as the one at Mob House, so be sure to take advantage of the swimming and lounging opportunities. Once you’ve done that, maybe with a coffee or cocktail from the bar, it’ll be time to venture out. You simply can’t stay in Saint Ouen without spending some serious time browsing its famous cluster of markets. If you’ve got a bit of spending power, or are simply an incorrigible aesthete, pay particular attention to Paul Bert Serpette, the largest antiques market in the world, with wares from 350 dealers selling furniture, art, jewellery, vintage luggage and clothing from across the eras. In the autumn, don’t miss the annual night-time market festival giving you access to all the historic Saint Ouen markets after dark, with live musical accompaniment to shop by.
