New Jo and Joe in Paris

Accor’s Jo and Joe brand has opened a new location in Paris in the city’s 20th arrondissement.

The brand launched in 2016 with an opening in Hossegor a year later and a hotel in Paris-Gentilly in 2019. The concept is described as a kind of “hybrid accommodation” that combines youth hostel, hotel and residential space.

The 162-bed Jo and Joe Paris Nation opened last month at 61 rue de Buzenval, a ten-minute walk from Place de la Nation. The building was developed by investment company Novaxia and designed by D and B Interior Design.

Rooms range from “Together” dormitories that sleep four to eight and share a bathroom, to “Yours” double rooms with private bathrooms.

Facilities include snack and relaxation area ‘Happy House’, a restaurant, bar and 100 sqm on the roof, a Wojo coworking space and a meeting room with a capacity for up to 12 people seated (16 standing).

The hotel partners with Lucky Luciano restaurants to offer fresh Italian fare, including pizzas, salads and plates, along with beer and signature cocktails.
