YOOMA Urban Lodge – Pop‑Art Energy Meets Smart Urban Living
A Futuristic Design Statement in Paris’s Beaugrenelle District
A 1970s Office Tower Reborn
Set among the modern mini skyscrapers of Beaugrenelle in the 15th arrondissement, YOOMA Urban Lodge stands out with a bold, curvaceous façade designed by creative director Ora Ïto. Clad in stainless steel and aluminum with striking deep blue and black panels, the building has been transformed into a colossal urban fresco—a new architectural focal point for the neighborhood.
Design – Pop Art Meets Practicality
Inside, the pop‑art energy continues. Guest rooms for two, four, or six guests feature bright red, green, blue, and yellow panels inspired by Mondrian and Charlotte Perriand, combined with crisp white linens and large windows for a cheerful, light‑filled atmosphere.
Design details are smart and efficient:
-
Under‑bed luggage storage
-
Foldaway desks
-
Three power outlets and USB ports per guest
-
Compact bathrooms with rain showers for an invigorating city break
Larger rooms include cabin‑like bunk beds or “pods” with sliding doors—sleek micro‑spaces nodding to Le Corbusier’s minimalist aesthetic. Vinyl flooring and pared‑back décor add a touch of hostel‑inspired functionality, balanced by vibrant colors and playful details.
Dining & Rooftop – A Design Playground
The restaurant doubles as a design gallery, featuring a curated collection of 130 chairs—from Verner Panton’s 1960s S‑shaped icon to Jean‑Charles de Castelbajac’s “Ange” Fermob chair with iron wings. Above, a rooftop garden supplies fresh produce to the restaurant and cooking school while offering panoramic views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower—an urban oasis in the sky.
Atmosphere – Fun, Social, and Functional
YOOMA Urban Lodge merges playfulness and practicality. It feels youthful and creative, built for families, groups, and design enthusiasts seeking a stylish but efficient stay. Whether you’re lounging on the rooftop or exploring the smartly designed rooms, the experience is rooted in a fresh, urban energy that reflects Paris’s evolving hospitality scene.
DNA Hotels Verdict
YOOMA Urban Lodge is Ora Ïto’s playful yet practical vision of city living: pop‑art palettes, modular spaces, and bold architecture combined with social amenities and a strong design ethos. It’s a modern, functional, and surprisingly joyful alternative to traditional Parisian boutique stays—ideal for travelers who value creativity and clever design solutions.
