This new floating hotel in Paris is unlike anything we've ever seen

The Off Paris Seine is a hotel like Paris has never seen before.

Situated on a barge in the Seine, it is quite literally a floating hotel.

The poolside bar area is unique in that it is completely open-air, and has the feeling of a roof deck. It will be enclosed with glass in the winter.

There is a traditional reception area where guests can check in just like at a normal hotel.

This was possible because the barge was built specifically for the hotel, and not recommissioned.

The architecture is mainly metal and wood, with clean, modern lines throughout.

There are 54 regular rooms on the ship — one part stateroom, one part hotel room — as well as four suites. The beds were designed to look like they float.

The suites are quite luxurious. An installation of mirrors sits above the bed in the Silver Suite.

The suites rent for 256 euros ($286) a night. The Sunset Suite's claim to uniqueness is its obvious orange hue on all applicable surfaces.

The 54 smaller rooms rent for €124 ($136) a night.
