In public areas, theres a scene-y bar, a brasserie restaurant, and all-day dining in its atrium.

Above it, a skylight opened up to the grey Parisian skies.
The whole thing felt like my own private Parisian garret, with every nook and cranny carefully appointed.
This is a small, cozy hotel with a lot of style.

establishment,Hotel Norman, exudes a slightly more masculine energy.
Ilikethis place, my husband said, unprompted, when we moved there after a brief stay at Fleur.
An Asian influence permeates the culinary offerings at Norman as well as Chateau des Fleur.
