Welcome to Colomba: Orso unveils Hôtel Folie in Paris's 11th arrondissement

Orso Hotels marks a new chapter in its history with the launch of Colomba, its collection of spontaneous, warm and deeply Parisian neighborhood hotels. And to mark this vibrant autumn, Folie, the first addition to the Colomba range, opens its doors in the heart of the 11th arrondissement, one of the capital's most vibrant districts.

Colomba: Orso's new vision of hospitality

With Colomba, Orso creates an alternative to his Destination Hotels. Here, no pomp and circumstance, just sincere, accessible hospitality rooted in neighborhood life. Places designed for urban tribes, everyday travelers, curious neighbors... and anyone who wants to experience Paris differently.

Why choose Colomba?

• A more spontaneous, lively spirit, with no fixed codes.
• Lower fares to suit all types of traveller.
• A strong identity, always faithful to the meticulous design and unique character of each Orso address.

With Colomba, Orso targets active thirtysomethings, urban families, lovers of design and local culture, looking for simplicity without sacrificing style.

Folie: a neighborhood hotel with bold charm

Giovanna de Bosredon, a designer with the Auguri Auguri agency, has designed the Hôtel Folie. This 37-room establishment cultivates an audacious blend of vintage, second-hand furniture and the atmosphere of a family home. An address designed as a cheerful, inspired break, where you can relax, chat, stroll, read or even work between two coffees.

Folie is inspired... by the follies of yesteryear

In the spirit of 18th-century architectural "follies" - places of pleasure and freedom built on the outskirts of cities - Folie is intended to be an interlude, a cocoon away from the hustle and bustle, right in the heart of Paris.

Living in Paris from the 11th arrondissement: local culture and a relaxed atmosphere

Staying at Hôtel Folie means immersing yourself in one of the capital's most creative and lively districts. Just a few steps away:

• Rue Saint-Maur, a breeding ground for new food and arty addresses.
• Rue Paul-Bert, the temple of Parisian bistronomy.
• Père-Lachaise, its alleys steeped in history.
• And the Place de la Nation, both popular and central.

Folie & Colomba: new-generation hospitality

Far from the formatted codes of the traditional hotel business, Colomba is the embodiment of uninhibited hospitality:

• Places that live with their neighborhoods, in synergy with shopkeepers, restaurants and neighbors.
• Warm, simple, attentive but never intrusive service.
• Decoration that's incarnate, never standardized.

At Colomba, you come for the comfort, you return for the atmosphere.

A new way to stay in Paris (and soon elsewhere)

With Folie as its first address, Colomba embodies Orso's future: urban hospitality that's accessible, local and joyful. And this is just the beginning! Other Colomba addresses are already in the pipeline, with the same ambition: to offer hotels on a human scale, connected to their environment.
