Brach is the first Evok hotel offering a casual luxury lifestyle. In the heart of the 16th district of Paris, Brach is a place of life, an immersive and inspiring experience for visitors who discover the French capital, a new vision of the neighborhood life for residents and regulars.
Brach was born from an immense 1970s mail sorting centre, a surface area of 7000 m2 left free to the imagination of visionary creator Philippe Starck.
Thanks to its 59 rooms and suites including terraces with breathtaking views over the rooftops of Paris and the Eiffel Tower, Brach is a cosmopolitan and surprising living space, deploying its originality, intimacy, comfort and conviviality across all eight floors of this glass structure house .
Each of the hotel’s rooms and suites is different, adapted to the desires and needs of each individual. From the first to the sixth floor: 52 bright rooms from 24 to 42 sqm, where a mini concept store replaces the mini
bar and the selection of books and novels is renewed every literary season. On the fifth and sixth floors of Brach: seven suites from 60 to 200 sqm, opening on terraces with breathtaking views.
The restaurant is an immersion in the cuisine of the Mediterranean region : healthy, balanced and full of flavour. An essential element of Brach, the sports club is spread over a 1,000 sqm and takes care of the body in an atmosphere inspired by 1930s boxing clubs.
Feel inspired to swim lengths in the 22-metres pool, while the thermal pool, sauna, hammam and salt cave invite to relax.

Evok welcomes you to the former Hotel de Montbrun, a 17th-century residence at 19 Place des Vosges. A unique and historic site, built in 1605, and therefore the oldest square in Paris.
In this exclusive landmark site, each room or suite in this 5-star hotel opens onto the garden and its splendid houses with their recognizable pink brick facades and slate roofs.
Considered a mansion by some, a château by others, Cour des Vosges is experienced as an exceptional residence welcoming Epicureans, hedonists, history buffs, and lovers of Paris.
The butler hands over the key to the 12 rooms and suites, each of which feels like a pied-a-terre. Each landing recalls the architectural features of 17th-century building.
The architects Lecoadic - Scotto designed 12 rooms and suites ranging from 270 to
645 square feet (some of which connect) on four floors. The architects were careful to preserve the spaces, which have high ceilings, double doors, and adjoining living rooms.
They have subtly mixed design pieces from the 1970s with period objects. The result is alive with contrasts and opposites that attract: old terra cotta pieces sit next to azure tapestries, candelabras illuminate stainless steel tables and glass counters, while statues gaze at lacquered screens.
The restaurant offers light gourmet fare for breakfast, afternoon tea, and dinner. Also, the “Brach Corner” presents a selection of sweet treats concocted by pastry chef Yann Brys, who was named Meilleur Ouvrier de France.

Moments away from the Comédie Francaise and the Louvre, between the Garnier opera house and the famous Rue Saint Honoré, lies a temple to art and life a la Francaise: The Nolinski, the first Parisian hotel from EVOK.
Upon arrival, a minimalist reception made from Carrara marble. Excellence in respecting our guests. Excellence in hospitality. In the quiet discretion of its private apartments, this private home safeguards the secrets of the art of living.
A six-floor odyssey through the clouds created by the sweeping staircase or the painted mirrors of the lift whisks you up from the hustle and bustle of the ground floor to the hushed heights of the rooms and suites.
The look is suddenly grabbed by the input-offset corridors, almost crazy. Jean-Louis Deniot created
a true harmony relied on emotions. Space, comfort and style are the three key elements that define each of the 45 rooms and suites.
From bright, luminous rooms and a mineral spa to Nolinski, the Nolinski Restaurant and the hushed tones of cocktail bar, each space is an invitation to let the senses roam and emotions rise. An intimate setting scented with spices and musk, a musical atmosphere and the warm softness of velvet or tweed. Conviviality served with passion.
The passion of epicurean experiences and unimaginable dreams, where the art of attention to detail intuitively paves the way for mystery. Visitors wander through a world in which luxurious comforts, works of art and Parisian authenticity coexist.

In 2006, the line further transformed the cruise experience with the introduction of Freedom class which features the FlowRider surf simulator, the H20 Zone aqua park and cantilevered whirlpools suspended 112 feet above the ocean.
