Perhaps taking inspiration from the surrounding artistic vibe of the Latin Quarter, The Five is one of Paris’ most innovatively designed hotels, with a special penchant for that Chinese speciality; lacquer. All the rooms are painted in vividly different colours, with, you got it, an emphasis on the shiny stuff, only made more apparent by the twinkling planetarium-style lights set into the walls and ceilings. There’s not a lot of space, but hi-tech gadgetry is stuffed in as expected, and if you go for the ‘scintillating canopy’ room (yes, really) you can take advantage of two beds. The bohemian crowd and super-friendly front of house staff keep things down to earth, which is a blessing amongst the slightly crackerjack patterned furniture and a red-leather panelled front hall. One thing’s for sure, you won’t be bored.

17.0 of 20. We’re not quite to that point yet. Which is a good thing, as it just means there’s still good reason to be excited about the Five. It’s still not every day you see a hotel painted in solid vivid colors like this, walls gleaming with the texture of Chinese lacquer, tiny pinhole stars floating up the walls and onto the ceiling. Fixtures and furnishings are simple and contemporary, some rooms featuring platform-style beds suspended from the ceiling — watch those hanging wires. And all of the rooms, though minimal, come with the basics, like satellite LCD televisions and high-speed wireless internet access. Beyond breakfast, you’re on your own, but this being Paris, you know the drill — if you can’t find something to eat around the Latin Quarter then there’s no hope for you.
