Hotel Ami : Gesa Hansen's cheerful minimalism
Avillage hotel in the heart of Paris
Tucked away in the 15ᵉ arrondissement of Paris,Hôtel Ami is an invitation to slow down. Here, no unnecessary pomp, but a veritable bubble of softness in the heart of the capital. Just a stone's throw from Place du Général Beuret, the former letter carriers' hotel reinvents Parisian hospitality with a minimalist, cheerful approach. L'Ami is surrounded by a village-like atmosphere, with artisanal bakeries, well-preserved food shops and terraces where you can toast your day with the ease of a regular.
This unique place, designed for travelers in search of authenticity, has found an ideal muse in Gesa Hansen. A talented designer, she infuses the hotel with a perfect balance of aesthetics and functionality.
Gesa Hansen, a signature between Bauhaus and Nordic softness
The daughter of a large family of Danish designers, trained at the Bauhaus University in Weimar and trained at Jean Nouvel's studio, Gesa Hansen cultivates a singular vision of design. She believes in a living minimalism, far removed from austere rigidity. Her work is characterized by pure lines, noble materials and a subtle use of color to create soft, enveloping atmospheres.
For the Hôtel Ami, she has imagined a world where every detail counts. The idea? To offer visitors a setting where simplicity becomes a luxury. There's no ostentation here, just a genuine harmony between design and comfort.

Soothing decor
L'Hôtel Ami has a soothing aesthetic. The choice of materials is essential: light wood, raw brick, natural textiles and a few touches of weathered leather give the place a warm atmosphere.
Colors are carefully chosen to create a feeling of envelopment and well-being. Earthy tones, creamy beiges, soft greens reminiscent of nature: each room is an invitation to disconnect. Bauhaus inspiration is reflected in the sobriety of form and attention to functionality.
The lobby and patio: welcoming living spaces
Right from the entrance, the tone is set. The lobby is designed like a home salon, where you can settle down for a coffee, a book or simply enjoy the passing of time. The brick reception counter is inspired by Parisian architecture and extends into a convivial space where customers and locals alike enjoy meeting up.
The patio, a veritable secret garden in terracotta, is a haven of peace. Sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city, it's the ideal place to enjoy a drink or breakfast under the Parisian sky.

An Orso experience of simplicity and excellence
The Hôtel Ami embodies Orso's DNA: a hotel where every detail is thought out for the pleasure of travelers. At Orso, each address has its own character, but all share the same philosophy: a warm welcome, sincere attention to guests and a concern for comfort without superfluity.
Here, luxury is measured by the quality of the time spent. The feeling of coming home after a day exploring Paris. The delicacy of a perfectly prepared bed. The pleasure of a caring staff who remembers your preferences.
