Design by
François Touber
Engineer, entrepreneur, art
collector, interior designer and
garden designer, François Touber
lives many lives turning each
experience into an intellectual
voyage. His main philosophy
echoes the Asian understanding
of Feng shui in the sense that his
realizations link nature, culture
and wellbeing in a single and
continuous flow. Touber adds to
his philosophy the Scandinavian
concept of Hygge, the Danish
secret to happiness, where
coziness and ability to enjoy
simple things in a warm and
friendly atmosphere fulfill the
soul and body.
His French adaptation of Feng
shui and Hygge brings history
and culture as the necessary
background, present in a stone, a
cabinet, a piece of art or a fabric
pattern like many nods to what
build the beauty of humanity.
Touber sees ecology and economy
as part of one single operating
system making the sustainability
of the act of creating a necessary
condition.
This is why the HotelsT balance
their carbon impact in green
investments in the French forests.
Energy consumption and
material used are studied in great
details to participate to the
crucial challenge of protecting
the Earth.
Beauty is to be found in all
material, colors and shapes.
Touber’s work is characterized by
the unusual diversity of
materials, his peculiar use of
colors while embracing the
singularity that every room can
offer. Thus the HotelsT present
amazing wealth of concepts to
feel, see, embrace and feel good.

A trendy hotel, in
the former Institute
of Zoology of
Bordeaux
The Institute of Zoology was
built in the beginning of the 20th
century (1900-1903) by the
architect Ernest Lacombe and is
a landmark building of the
contemporary academic
architecture characterized by its
metallic structure mixed with
bricks and stones allowing large
openings and glass roofs.
The renovation of the
building has beautified this
landmarked architecture to
which two modern wings have
been added still in the theme
of natural science.
The whole building is
structured around a garden
echoing the public park across the
street in front of the historical
Institute of Zoology.

“…l’accueil est génial, le personnel est jeune, souriant, dynamique, attentionné et
très professionnel… un havre de paix… le repas [était] top et copieux…

Palazzetto Rosso
Siena

The Palazzetto Rosso is
located in a very old
building completely made of
bricks, and was most likely a
locanda, meaning that it
already hosted travelers
during the Middle Age, as
Tuscany was an intense trade
and business center in Europe.
The Palazzetto Rosso’s brick
façade’s lay out follows
multiple shapes such as large
ribs and geometrical patterns,
skillfully organized upon old
planning regulations dated
from the Middle Age, and
distinctive to Siena.
This outstanding historical
façade is completed by ensigns
and flares made of wrought
iron and dated from the
Middle Age as well.

A bedroom that respects the typical style of a design hotel as Palazzetto

brands with an incomparable Tuscan classicism.
This room offers a tremendously and surprisingly majestic volume: the
enormous wooden beams are supported by sculpted corbels; the four walls display
an impressive painted frieze; a monumental fireplace sits imposingly; the view
gives itself like a painting framed by the windows, of the Rocca Salimbeni, a
fortified palace from the 13thCentury, part of the historical headquarter of the
Monte dei Paschi Bank, the oldest bank in the world and still running! The
small alcoves in the walls are some time to time surrounded by white and red
painted bricks, the colors of medieval Siena, the historical center of the city of
Siena.

A red cube, half glazed with two large bay windows, sits in the middle of the
large room and provides today’s comfort of a modern bathroom with a design flair
in the tiles that reminds raw concrete. The toilet is separated.
The extra large tiles from the Italian mARTerial firm 14 Ora Italiana are

scents from its multi-centurial uses, our guests can enjoy a hat stand Ruben from
designer Ilaria Marelli for Casamania, armchairs Pacha by renowned designers

Santa Maria in Provenzano’s Church.
The suite’s lounge is highlighted by the

Casamania, the coffee table Around by super hip
Danish designer Thomas Bentzen for Muuto and
two magnificent armchairs Pasha in black that
need no introduction anymore! A hat
stand Ruben from designer Ilaria Marelli for
Casamania complements the lounge.

In the middle of the room sits a very large desk table matched with
pivoting elegant vad armchairs in bright yellow and fuchsia leather.
A Kartell piece of furniture holds the TV. The box shelves from Muuto
top the voluntary clash between Middle-Age and Modernism’s sceneries.
A large painting from Dutch and very duchess artist Cathalijn Wounters
completes the effect.
The lighting scenery is signed by Artémide with the

representing a lion’s head tops the marble sink in the toilet’s room. A large
bathtub opens up onto a wide glass door which itself offers the view of the
window. The flax doubled-curtains with Santa Fe embroideries from the
French Maison Boussac complete the room.
The wardrobe keeps on raising the originality of the place in the form
of a stack of leather suitcases in green tones by Maarten de Ceulaer for
Casamania. The vad high table in white for Casamania and the bar
stools Nerd in green by the young German designer David Geckeler for Muuto
offers the perfect spot to spy on the Sienese gourmands heading to their
favorite ice-cream store, the Copa Cabana on the way to San Francesco Church.
This room can be connected with the room next door, the Suite 6.

Suite no.6
Elegant and refined bedrooms, service focused on our guest’s needs,
