After last week's low-budget hotel review, the New York Times sent Sarah Wildman to The Five Hotel in Paris. The place has sort of an NHow Hotel thing going on, with the planetarium-style lighting and sassy decor.

You better like the scene too, since you probably won't be lounging around your room:

To call room 203, in the lowest price category, small would be generous. The bed, pushed into a corner, almost entirely filled the space...The bathroom -- triangular and fitted as for a dollhouse -- was fine for a woman of about 5 ft 3 inches (me), but uncomfortable for anyone ganglier.

Hmmm...sounds like the Times "sprung" for the cheapest room at the place. Other floors have bigger and better rooms--including one with a bed hanging from the ceiling on steel cables. Now that is sexy!
