About
Interiors that take you by surprise
Historic cellars with their original brick arcades. Cool in summer, warm in winter, quiet at any hour.
A capsule is compact – we are not pretending it is a room. It is roomy and comfortable for a capsule, and above all well thought out: its own bathroom cabin inside, a TV with streaming apps, 230 V sockets right by the pillow, adjustable lighting and a shelf within reach.
Five capsules: three single, one twin and one double. You let yourself in with your own code, whatever the hour.
