Paris to Welcome Its First 'Floating Hotel' on Converted Catamaran

by Siti Zawani @ 13 Nov 2015

Paris will soon have its first major "floating hotel" – a converted catamaran with 58 rooms and a swimming pool on the river Seine. Numerous "bateaux mouches" – sightseeing boats – already traverse the river in central Paris and the capital has several waterborne restaurants.

But according to its designers, the hotel on the quai d'Austerlitz, eastern Paris, is the first of its kind. Smaller two-cabin hotel boats exist while bigger vessels, such as the 60-metre VIP Paris, come in for a night cruise but moor outside the capital. The €11 million (£7.8 million) floating hotel will welcome its first guests next Spring, costing around €160 for a bedroom or €400 for a suite. Read more at http://goo.gl/F197By
