This is the sort of hotel you either love or hate, thanks to its contemporary design, trendy interiors and minimalist style. We happen to love it, including its open plan bathrooms, its iPods in each room and the cutting-edge cuisine. Traditionalists be warned.
With its white, monumental Art Deco-style facade looking as if it's been transplanted straight from Miami, the Hotel de la Paix is breathtaking in its conception. Symmetry rules almost every detail, from the tall entrance doorways reminiscent of the corridors of Angkor, through to the sharp corners and the matching lamps to the small 2nd-floor pool. The rooms are mostly bright with big windows, king-size sleigh beds, rain showers, and vast two-person terrazzo baths that open onto the bedroom. They even come with iPods loaded with lounge music and temple guides. The service can be eager to the point of being annoying, and just occasionally - like when you're sitting in the tubs or the slick Arts Lounge - you may feel that design has triumphed over comfort.
