Le Tsuba, which has nothing to do with the musical instrument, designates the guard stop, in other words the carved part that protects the hand on Japan’s famous katana swords. What is so special about those fine blades, the one’s prized by collectors and stars in samurai films, Kurosawa’s works and Kill Bill’s remarkable fight scenes? They combine beauty with efficiency. So, it’s not surprising that Le Tsuba is also the name of this lovely 4* hotel in Paris’ 17th arrondissement.
NEAR THE PLACE DE L’ÉTOILE and the Parc Monceau, in the heart of the Ternes district, this stayover gives off a slight perfume of the Far East and Japan behind its Art Deco façade. It also nods respectfully to the Paris of the 30’s that celebrated the culture and decorative objects coming from Asia: lacquers, prints, woodworks, patterns…
THE REFERENCES ARE HANDLED WITH SENSITIVITY starting with the reception, dressed with an immense lacquer panel crafted by the Midavaine Atelier, a specialized maker that has been installed at the end of the street for the past three generations. Other works of art are on the floor where a grey, black, and gold mosaic by Pierre Mesguich is enthroned, then on the floors where paintings and photographs by Christophe Gravis, Jérôme Pergolesi, and Virgill Brill succeed one another.
CHIC TRAVEL sums up the experience. The hotel’s interior evokes the refinement of a distant world where sacred paths, dragons, blue lotus, and cherry blossoms inhabit the imagination. A certain idea of delicacy to be found in the 82 contemporary rooms and suites of the hotel, soothing cocoons dressed with silky, graphic cushions, brass lamps inspired by the 30’s, sophisticated walnut furniture, beveled mirrors, and ultra-glossy lacquer effects.
THE MAGNIFICENT AURA OF THE RISING SUN can even be found in the spa areas as well as the bar. For example, over a Japanese green tea.
BAR – Enjoy a tea, sake or cocktail from the comfort of a chair at the “T” Bar & Cocktails by Le Tsuba Hotel. This comfy hangout has thick carpeting, a glass roof, a bar decorated with backlit prints… and a terrace for sunny days.
SPA & FITNESS – Book your slot in the gym before enjoying the 150 square meter spa equipped with treatment room, steam room and sauna.
