Bouygues Construction

Recherche Swiftype

Bureaux

Plus haute tour de France et emblème de La Défense, l’ex Tour Axa a été rénovée et reconstruite de fond en combles par Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France. Résultat : une deuxième vie sous le signe de la construction durable.

et la defense tour first

Avec ses 231 mètres élancés en biseau sur le ciel, la Tour First détient le record de France de hauteur. Sa rénovation pour atteindre la norme HQE est la plus lourde jamais réalisée pour des bureaux dans l’Hexagone. Refaçonner totalement une tour vieillissante tout en la dotant des caractéristiques les plus avant-gardistes était un défi colossal. Pari tenu sur toute la ligne puisque ses 80 000 m² – soit 10 % de plus que la génération antérieure - ont été livrés en 2011, au terme de cinq années de gestation et de travaux, avec un mois d’avance !

et la defense tour first

Concentré d’innovations, la Tour First a obligé Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France à revoir tous ses modes opératoires habituels. Ainsi le chantier a été conduit à l’envers, du haut vers le bas, pour bâtir les dix niveaux supplémentaires. A projet exceptionnel, moyens exceptionnels. Le chantier de la Tour First a mobilisé une palette de compétences particulièrement large au sein du Groupe avec la mise en œuvre de méthodes inédites et d’une logistique spectaculaire. Un outil modulaire constitué de 28 tonnes d’acier, condition sine qua non pour intervenir de l’intérieur du bâtiment, a ainsi été conçu sur mesure par les ingénieurs, compagnons et agents de maîtrise maison.

et la defense tour first

Architecture

Pionnière, la Tour First l’est avant tout par sa forme. Dans l‘horizon du ciel de La Défense, où se juxtaposent les tours aux toits plats, elle lance sa flèche biseautée en un geste architectural sans équivalent. La Tour conserve sa structure en hélice. La surélévation d’une aile et l’abaissement en dégradé des deux autres crée une dynamique inédite, qui en fait l’un des principaux points de mire du quartier d’affaires.

et la defense tour first

Responsable

Pionnière, la Tour First l’est aussi par le faible impact de son chantier, conduit de manière à minimiser les nuisances et les risques pour les riverains comme pour les compagnons. Une passerelle de 5 mètres de large a par exemple été construite pour permettre aux passants de traverser la zone en toute sécurité. L’utilisation de robots perceurs a par ailleurs été généralisée pour limiter le bruit et la poussière. La rénovation de la Tour a permis de diviser par 2 les émissions de CO ² par rapport à une destruction-reconstruction.

et la defense tour first

Environnement

Le projet First a été engagé dès sa phase de programmation et de conception dans un processus de certification HQE particulièrement exigeant. Le bâtiment livré témoigne d’un niveau d’ambition très élevé, avec cinq des quatorze cibles de certification atteintes au niveau « très performant ». Les partenaires du projet se sont fixé des exigences supérieures à celles du référentiel technique de certification, en focalisant notamment leurs efforts sur la gestion des déchets du chantier et la réduction de la consommation d'énergie. Cette forte exigence sur le plan énergétique se traduit également par le choix d’une chaufferie à gaz et à de pompes à chaleur. Elle a valu à la Tour le label THPE (Très Haute Performante Energétique), particulièrement exigeant.

La tour First

Chaque semaine, la Gazette de la Défense vous propose une confrontation entre une photographie d’archives et une vue actuelle du quartier d’affaires, pour mieux cerner la transformation radicale qu’a connue la Défense depuis ses débuts, à l’orée des années 1960.

Aujourd’hui plus haute tour de France, devant la tour Montparnasse mais bientôt dépassée par The Link, la tour First n’a pas toujours dominé le paysage de la Défense. À l’origine, son sommet ne culminait qu’à 159 mètres de haut. C’était le cas à son inauguration en 1974, lorsqu’elle ne portait que l’appellation technique CB31. Imaginée par l’architecte et urbaniste français Pierre Dufau, elle fut édifié pour le compte de l’Union des Assurances de Paris et pris rapidement le nom de « Tour Assur ».

L’architecture de l’édifice se veut symbolique, en forme d’étoile à trois branches qui partent toutes trois du noyau de la tour. Une référence au groupe UAP, né de la fusion de trois compagnies d’assurances. Une fusion néanmoins insuffisante pour faire le poids face au géant Axa, qui absorbe l’UAP en 1998 pour devenir le premier groupe d’assurance mondial. La tour change ainsi de main et de nom, une nouvelle fois, avant de se métamorphoser complètement une dizaine d’années plus tard.

et la defense tour first

Devenue obsolète, elle fait l’objet d’une réhabilitation intégrale, qui comprend le remplacement de sa façade mais aussi un exhaussement de plusieurs étages, portant la hauteur de la tour à 231 mètres en tenant compte de sa flèche. « La tour First est l’une des opérations de rénovation les plus spectaculaires de La Défense, s’enthousiasme Paris la Défense, organisme public aménageur et gestionnaire du quartier d’affaires. La surélévation de 50 mètres de la tour existante n’est qu’un des aspects du défi technique de ce projet qui a réalisé entre autres l’élargissement des plateaux existants et la démolition-reconstruction du noyau central ».

Tour First (Formerly Tour CB31) La Defense - Paris, France

This project, won in an international architectural competition, involves a re-massing and full refurbishment of the tower CB31 of 1974, in La Défense, The building is one of the tallest in La Defense and the new silhouette is clearly visible on the skyline. Besides its new visibility from afar, the new design carefully reconfigures the public space at the base, reinforcing the connections of the building to its surroundings.

On the interior of the building, walls were knocked down to improve lettable space, increase daylight to the offices and to enhance the sense of connection in plan and in section. The design increases the lettable area and brings core to wall dimensions up to current market standards, by extending the floor slabs. New sky gardens, linking several floors, create casual spaces for meeting and exchanging ideas.

The design overcame several challenges related to the existing concrete structure. The stability of the existing building was found to be not up to the current code requirements, leading to extensive structural modifications. Columns and shafts throughout the lower third of the building had to be encased in additional concrete in order to alter and spread the load path down through the building.

A project of Kohn Pedersen Fox (International) PA in which the following people at PLP Architecture were involved: Karl Sharro, Renos Charitou, designers; Richard Woolsgrove, head visualizer; Harjit Sembi, model maker.

L'Île-de-France concentre plus de 80 % des gratte-ciel français. Huit des 10 plus hauts bâtiments se trouvent dans le secteur de La Défense . Et la tour Montparnasse , longtemps n° 1 des immeubles de très grande hauteur a finalement été détrônée par la tour First. Le cabinet Emporis a réalisé une étude qui constitue une sorte de tour d'horizon de la "skyline" française.

Within Europe, Paris is famous not just for its historical buildings but also for a modern business district called La Défense located to the west of central Paris. Named after a statue, La Défense de Paris , which was commissioned to commemorate the French soldiers who fought in the Franco-Prussian War, today La Défense is Europe's largest business zone. And if you think no one goes there, think again — eight million tourists visit La Défense each year.

The Historical Axis of Paris

Historical Axis of Paris

If you were a crow (or, these days, a drone) you could fly along the 10-kilometre-long Historical Axis of Paris, an imaginary straight line that starts at the Louvre, runs through the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel , continues along the Champs-Elysées, dashes through the Arc de Triomphe , to continue all the way out to the center of La Grande Arche at La Défense . And here are seven surprising reasons to make that trip.

Discover What's On When You're Here...

Discover what's on when you're here, 1. la grande arche de la défense.

La Grande Arche

Succeeding French presidents toyed with the idea of creating a visual landmark to extend the Paris Axe Historique , but it was François Mitterrand who finally launched a design competition to make this idea come to fruition. In 1983, Danish architect Johann Otto von Spreckelsen was selected to create a landmark — a modern interpretation of the Arc de Triomphe . (Von Spreckelsen's Grande Arche is twice the size of the Arc de Triomphe. Notre Dame Cathedral would easily fit inside of it!)

Instead of honoring military victories, the monumental arch is dedicated to humanitarian ideals. L'Arche , built in the shape of cube, is made of concrete and covered with glass and Carrara marble. The 110-metre-cubed structure was inaugurated in 1989 as part of the bicentennial of the French Revolution. The rooftop, closed for several years, has recently reopened with a breathtaking panoramic view, an exhibition area, and a restaurant.

2. La Défense Outdoor Art Collection

Outdoor Art Collection

There's an outdoor art collection scattered around La Défense that includes works by Calder, Miro, and other world-famous artists. César Baldaccini is represented by his iconic sculpture of a 40-foot thumb. in total there are seventy pieces of contemporary artworks sprinkled throughout the district. The concept was an ambitious project initiated in 1958, just when the modernization of the area began. Some of the works are found on the main place of La Défense , others are hidden between skyscrapers.

3. l'araignée rouge – the red spider.

Outdoor Art Collection

American artist Alexandre Calder's (1898 to 1976) 50-foot sculpture was commissioned in 1974 to give the main esplanade of La Défense a more human-scale feel. An engineer by training, Calder built L'Araignée Rouge based on six vertical panels that were welded in a factory and assembled on site, using special bolts designed by the artist himself. Alexander Calder's love affair with France began with his arrival in Paris in 1926 and continued until his death in 1976.

4. Green Spaces

Place de l'Iris

In a district that includes almost a hundred skyscrapers, green spaces don't exactly spring to mind. However, there are a bevy of parks, places , and green spaces that dot the landscape of Europe's most expansive business area.

Cours Gambetta features a small body of water, trees, and grass. In spring, Japanese cherry trees blossom in Place de l'Iris . Parc Diderot covers 2½ acres with a garden set around a large waterfall and a collection of rhododendrons, azaleas, and boxwoods cut into squares and other shapes.

There's even a vineyard! Centuries ago, La Défense was home to some famous vineyards, close to the forest of Saint-Germain. Today, what remains is Clos de Chantecoq . In 2007, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes were replanted on ten acres at La Défense .

5. tour initiale.

Tour Initiale

The oldest office tower at La Défense , Tour Initiale (that means, like, "First Tower"), stands at 109 metres high and was completed in 1966. Its simple linear form reflects the restrictions placed on the design of buildings La Défense at the time. You can see the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright's Johnson Wax Headquarters in Wisconsin with its rounded corners. Engineer Jean Prouvé created the unique glass curtain wall. At the time, the curved glass corners could only be made in the USA, whence they were shipped to Paris.

6. Coeur Défense

Coeur Défense

Completed in 2001, this 161-metre-high skyscraper reflects the loosening of restrictions on form and height by the end of the 20th century. ( Coeur Défense is not the tallest building at La Défense . That title belongs to Tour First at a soaring 231 metres, first built in 1974, with extra height added in 2011.) The Coeur Défense's two towers are connected with an undulating form that breaks up the mass of the building, making it appear more slender.

7. la défense de paris – the sculpture.

La Défense de Paris

In 1878, a competition was held to create a sculpture to commemorate those who participated in the defense of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. Hundreds of proposals were presented by the most famous sculptors of the time, including Rodin. Instead, the jury chose Louis-Ernest Barrias. For Barrias, this marked the beginning of a successful career.

( This was the same period when the French National Assembly voted to turn over the most visible land in Paris to the Catholic Church to build a church in order to "expiate the crimes of The Paris Commune ", a citizens uprising that took over Paris in 1871 just after the Prussians left. The result was the still-controversial — and some say eyesore — Sacre-Coeur on the Montmartre hill.)

La Défense de Paris is a monumental sculpturein which the city of Paris is depicted as a woman dressed in the National Guard uniform, standing proudly. A young girl at her feet represents the suffering of civilians during the siege while an injured soldier beside her tries to load his rifle. He represents the resistance of the people of Paris.

The bronze sculpture was originally placed in the middle of a busy, six-lane traffic circle. But in 1983 it was decided to move the sculpture to La Défense . Today, this piece of 19th-century art is situated on the esplanade, amidst all that modern art, and maintains an important place at the center of the district.

La défense history 101.

La Defense

In that infamous period of urban planning known as The Sixties (the 1960s, to be clear) proposals were made for skyscrapers to be built throughout Paris, with the intention of "echoing the beauty of the Eiffel Tower". However, in 1972 when the tall, controversial, and massive 210-metre-high Tour Montparnasse was completed, there was a public outcry.

Further construction of skyscrapers within the Paris city limits was halted. So, city planners looked westward, just two miles outside of Paris, to plan their future skyscraper city. Initially, buildings were restricted to rectangular 30-floor-high structures, but over time, these restrictions were loosened. Today, there are 72 glass and steel buildings, with 180,000 daily workers, and 3,500,000 square metres (38,000,000 square feet) of office space.

et la defense tour first

The winning entry in an international design competition, KPF’s design for Tour First presents a complete refurbishment of one of France’s first skyscrapers, creating a welcoming symbol to La Défense and a strong new architectural image for the Paris skyline.

Located on a prominent site near the Neuilly Bridge, the transformed Tour First retains the integrity of the original 1970s tower while providing a modern interpretation of the concept and improving the integration with its urban context.

KPF’s design solution increases the rentable area by extending the floor slabs to make the dimensions meet current market needs. Opaque gable walls are replaced to bring natural daylight into the office spaces and open views out to the city. The entry levels are reorganized, reinvigorating the entrance hall and improving connecting social spaces. By creating sky gardens, informal meeting and breakout spaces are introduced along the building’s exterior.

Three newly constructed volumes help integrate the building into its context. To the east, a horizontal roof announces the newly built entrance to the quartier. To the north, a new volume containing a brasserie and a café defines the fourth side of the orthogonal “Place,” while engaging the square. To the southwest, a new volume containing a multi-level food court and dining halls overlooks the Boulevard Circulaire.

"Not your usual hotel: Sunborn London is, in fact, a 420ft yacht moored in the Royal Victoria docks, a symphony in white and charcoal which could easily have been left behind by a departing oligarch. It's well-placed for the O2 arena, London City airport and the ExCel centre."

Afternoon tea at a 5 star hotel, count us in. Since Gibraltar is under British control English is their spoken language. Our bus driver Shannon took us completely around this little island before bringing us to the stop for a snack and tea before returning us to the port drop off point. I'm glad we chose to book a shore excursion, get off the ship, learn about the history of Gibraltar and drive past The Rock. Little Sandwiches of ham, rolled tuna, cucumber, plus some sweets. Definitely not a fancy high tea like at Boston Library or my favorite white hotel with columns in Waikiki. This was a simple choose your own tea bag, pour your own hot water, help yourself to the two layer items split between 4 people. My favorites were the ham sandwich the bread was super soft, the ham sliced so thin. The scone or crumpet like a biscuit to cut in half to add some clotted cream and jam from a mini jar of jam. Shannon was knowledgeable and the kindest tour guide who helped whoever needed assistance onto a collapsible stool onto and off the bus.

Hair there. That's right, I found a hair on the wall near the hair dryer in the bathroom. I went to the lobby desk told them about it and requested a new room. The person told me all the rooms were booked that night which is amazing because she never looked to see. Clearly she is Psychic. She notified housekeeping and told them to do a double cleaning in the bathroom. They showed up, wiped off the hair, found a couple of spots on the floor, wiped that up with a hand wet towel thing and that was it. They told me this happens all the time because the girls clean fast. I should note I told the GM about this via their post stay survey. They responded by saying they did a thorough cleaning job. If that's thorough, I'm FDR. The room is ghastly. Totally dated as in 80s. I was afraid to use rhe shower which the bathroom had tiles, and old days decor. I mean it screamed 50s in appearance. The bed is hard, and basically just a mattress like thing on top of two blue bases. Mine nearly came off. I did have a water view. Room food options via service is poor and good luck getting into the restaurant. They will make a made to order omlette for breakfast, but the spread is poor and you have to go early, as I did for one day, to have hot. I note one day, because I checked out of that dump and went to the Novotel next to it, which is 1000 times better. Let me put it this way. 3rd class on the Titanic would have been better. The Posiden Adventure with you hanging on a Christmas tree upside down would have been better. Dump.

This is a different way to stay in a hotel, a dry docked boat. Overall the service was not bad and the rooms are decent. There is a restaurant and bar which is not bad. I was there for a party and they did a good job hosting the party. They are friendly and helpful. the rooms are a bit pricy so get prepared for that. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

See the table in the picture? It has a nice view right? And it was empty when we arrived, and still empty when we left 1.5 hours later. But there were only 2 of us so we weren't allowed to sit there. Jus watch it from the middle of the room. They made accommodations to find space for other people outside, even though we'd requested this at booking time. Not for us though. Pretty poor service experience all 'round really.

We was looking for somewhere to take two little boys that was a little different. My son had two trips to Disney cancelled due to Covid, so I let him pick where we go. He absolutely loved the idea of staying on a boat so we opted for the Sunborn. I'm so so glad we did. Everything about this stay was perfect. The hotel is immaculate. The breakfast and evening meal were superb. The staff are friendly and welcoming. The bed, honestly the most comfy bed I have ever slept on. The best thing though was the service from a gentleman named Micheal. He went above and beyond to make this a special stay for both the adults and the children. I've never experienced such amazing service and thoughtfulness and I've stayed in many hotels. In my opinion this is a five star hotel and the service (thanks to Micheal) is the best in the world. When someone ensures the children have an amazing stay, as a parent you could wish for nothing more. Thank you for having us. We will be back. There are also treatment rooms, we didn't get to experience them but we are planning to the next time we stay. If you are considering staying at this hotel then go for it, you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful yatch in docks at East London. I attended and was playing music for a birthday party on the top deck. Place looked amazing and the staff where very friendly. The look of the boat is very plush. Didn't try the restaurant but we had warm canapé which was nice and presented well. Would like to spend a night and eat at the restaurant to access this hotel better.

We stumbled across this yacht while looking for somewhere to have a drink before heading to the O2. It was a really beautiful day and so the deck looked like a perfect place to sit for a couple of cocktails! The setting is really lovely, especially in the sunshine. Very dramatic views of the Thames all the way round the boat, and on a sunny day the water even looked appealing. The service was friendly & attentive. The cocktails were OK (a little on the pricey side, but to be expected). You're definitely paying for the setting though, which I would say is worth it! A really great place to come for something a little different.

Colourful cocktails!

Great location, good service, and nice venue. This is still a "hidden gem" for those who are needing hotel rooms or meeting space near the ExCel Convention Center. Docked permanently across the grass park from ExCel and Hotel Novotel, the Sunborn's impressive profile welcomes guests up its gangplank entrance aboard a unique yacht venue that can accommodate overnight guests or double as meetings/events space. Opened recently in the summer of 2014, this venue is quick to catch up to speed with the service and support of the most seasoned hotel properties in the area...and has worked through most of the learning curve issues that most brand new most of the learning curve issues that most venues painstakingly take awhile to work out.

Just okay, but honestly not as nice of a hotel as we anticipated. The view from our room (the side opposite the water) is pretty disappointing. Our room tablet says the hotel bar is open until 2am on Saturdays, but late Sat night when we planned to order service, reception at the front desk told us those are old hours and it actually closes at 1am; staff said these hours were valid a year ago. Not sure why this hasn't been updated? Very well-made cocktails in the bar, but pricey. The queen bed in our room is actually more like two beds pushed together (there is a gap in the middle) which makes it a bit more uncomfortable for my fiancé and I to sleep closely. We can frequently hear very loud footsteps outside our room reverberating through our room, and there is no ventilation in the bathroom which has made our room stuffy. Service in general has been decent.

I wish I had the same experience as everyone else here but I did not at all! We arrived and were put into room 1030. When we got in, we noticed it was quite warm and stuffy so we turned the air down. We had plans so we left our stuff and came back, and it was still warm. I looked at the temp and it was 25* when we had turned it down to 15*. We tried dealing with it, turning it off and on, etc and nothing worked. My boyfriend and I don't like complaining so we just went to bed. I woke up an hour after falling asleep drenched in sweat, the temp was now 26* and I am mad and sweaty. I call down and they switch our rooms. SAME problem at 1046! The air is like on 23 when we get in, we turn it down to 16, and it has stayed above 22 all night, ranging from 22-26! SO annoying! I feel like others have had this problem before in these rooms and they put us in these rooms anyways! The carpet has huge brown stains, couch had brown stains, bathroom was tiny, everything is so outdated! Not worth the money I spent at all! When I told the staff at checkout, she said that if we paid for another night they would upgrade us to the water view! As if that was any kind of reconciliation. Ugh will not be back ever ever.

Floating Fancy: Sunborn London Yacht Hotel Review

Finding the perfect hotel for a London stay can be tricky, with countless options and locations available. Sunborn London offers something a little more unusual, as it’s not your standard bricks-and-mortar establishment; pick the Sunborn, and you’ll be staying on an extravagant yacht. But while it stands out from the crowd visually, does the rest stand up to scrutiny?

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel, to give it its full title, is located at Royal Victoria Dock, an area of east London that has undergone extensive regeneration and is home to the Excel exhibition centre. Despite its Docklands location, the Sunborn yacht is easy to get to, thanks to the new Elizabeth Line that runs through the city, with stops at Heathrow Airport, Paddington, Bond Street and Liverpool Street, to name just a few, where you can connect to most other London underground lines. Arriving by car isn’t too much of a chore either, and with ExCel next door, ample parking is available just a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel entrance

Arriving at Sunborn London certainly makes an impression. The vast open space in front of the floating hotel allows you to take in the size as you get closer to the riverfront. There’s a lift at dock level – one of few signs that the yacht was indeed built specifically for this purpose – which takes you directly to the stylishly designed reception level, where you are greeted by friendly staff, ready to check you in for a stay.

While the purpose-built yacht might not have sailed the Mediterranean, it still has all the features of a sea-going vessel, with heavy doors and raised sills. There’s even an impressive cruise ship-esque double staircase in the middle of the reception area, which is finished off with a crystal chandelier, adding a touch of elegance.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Room

We spent the night in a mid-range ‘Yacht Executive’ room with a balcony overlooking the surprisingly blue waters of the docks. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a good-sized desk area should you combine business with pleasure. There were a good number of plug sockets dotted about the room and at each side of the bed – something often overlooked – with a mix of UK and European sockets, which was a nice touch. Everything you would expect was there, including tea and coffee making facilities, a fridge and a safe, should you need them.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel executive room

The bathroom was a reasonable size, with a spacious enough shower. Confusingly though, rather than having a simple shower control, there was a bath mixer tap with a shower attached. Once the water was turned on, a toggle needed to be pulled to direct the water through the shower head. With no bath in sight, this seemed rather odd.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel bathroom

Unlike the smaller rooms on the lower two levels, our room had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the water, with a double-glazed door leading out onto our little balcony, complete with two chairs. While it was a nice little bit of outside space, it wasn’t well designed in that once seated in the chairs, the view was of the solid steel safety barrier rather than the river. Perhaps some safety glass would be a better bet.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel executive room

Despite that, it felt like a well-thought-out space, with considerate touches ranging from the surfeit of power sockets to the welcome bottles of water. Between 19 and 23m3, the rooms aren’t huge on paper, but clever use of space and light makes them feel far more generous than they could.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel executive room

Throughout the cabins and the public areas of the yacht, there are lots of mirrors, reflective surfaces and warm coloured wooden panelling, which adds to the character of Sunborn London, and adds to the sense of space, leaving you in no doubt that you are onboard a vessel.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Lands End Restaurant

The onboard restaurant is located at the vessel’s rear, with an outside space providing views towards The O2 and Canary Wharf. Like the rest of the public areas, it is adorned with warm-coloured wood and reflective surfaces, making it feel both welcoming and light and airy.

Sunborn Yacht Lands End Restaurant

We began by perusing the wine list and decided on a bottle of prosecco – such glamorous surroundings deserved a few bubbles! The bottle arrived at the table, was opened and poured, only to find that it had been served at room temperature. Our waiter did try to rectify this error, but the second bottle had also not been chilled. A cold bottle was eventually found from the Sundown Bar on the deck below, but two bottles had been wasted by this stage. It’s an amateur mistake to make and set a low bar for the rest of the evening.

Nevertheless, we put this mishap to one side and checked out the food offering. The menu had a good selection of options, with meat and seafood dishes available. However, the choice for those following a vegetarian or vegan diet was very limited.

I selected the mixed marinated olives as my starter, and my dining companion opted for the Gazpacho. Both arrived quite quickly and were tasty and fresh.

sunborn yacht hotel number

The main course was more of an issue, as I suffer from lactose intolerance. My only option was wild mushroom risotto with vegan cheese and grated truffle, with a seasonal house salad on the side. My companion had more choice and opted for the ‘Sunborn’ fish ‘n’ chips, which consisted of beer battered haddock, pea puree and chunky chips.

When the food did arrive at the table, it looked well presented, and while the fish fillet did look relatively small, the risotto was somewhat more substantial.

The wild mushroom risotto was well cooked, the risotto rice was tender, and the dish was well seasoned and tasty. The side salad, however, did leave a little to be desired. There was little or no dressing to add flavour, which was disappointing.

The fish and chips were fine, if unexciting. It’s a dish that’s difficult to get wrong but also difficult to impress with. The kitchen managed to stay in its lane, offering something perfectly acceptable, with fresh chips and tasty mushy peas, although portions were a little meagre.

sunborn yacht hotel number

Dessert was again lacking in options for my needs or those on plant-based diets, with fruit and sorbet being the only, somewhat unimaginative, options. I reluctantly opted for the three flavours of sorbet, while my dining companion opted for the much tastier sounding Bakewell tart with ice cream.

sunborn yacht hotel number

The Bakewell tart arrived without a hitch, but the lack of attention to the order in the kitchen meant that I was served two scoops of sorbet and one scoop of ice cream instead of three of sorbet. Luckily I noticed before I started to eat it, and I immediately notified the manager of the error. My issue is an intolerance rather than an allergy, but had it not been, this could have been a more significant problem.

With few guests in the restaurant the night we dined, there was little excuse for the multiple errors. While a long way from fine dining , the food was perfectly acceptable, but the lack of imagination in the menu and the lack of care in serving the drinks and meal tarnished the experience.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Sundown Bar

After dinner, we headed down a deck for a nightcap at the Sundown Bar. As you enter the bar, lights and reflective surfaces surround you from every angle, making it just a little overwhelming against the dusk outside. We decided the sensory overload was a little too much, so we chose a seat on the outside deck with views along the docks to The O2 beyond.

Sunborn Yacht Sundown Bar

The overall environment and vibe of the place were pleasant and lively, with most patrons spending their time either gazing into each other’s eyes or gazing at the myriad lights of the city twinkling away in the distance. A surprising amount of time can be wasted simply watching the Emirates Air Line cable cars crossing the river, their red lights floating across the skyline in contrast to the blue and white lights of the city.

sunborn yacht hotel number

There is a good selection of drinks available, but they are a little pricey, even allowing for London prices. A Diet Coke and a double Woodford Reserve bourbon came in at £20. The service was swift and friendly, recovering from the faux pas at dinner and rounding off our evening well.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: Breakfast

Breakfast the following day was on the outside deck of the Lands End restaurant and consisted of a cooked breakfast from the kitchen alongside a self-service buffet. The mix of table service for the hot food and self-service for the rest isn’t that unusual, but it was also self-service for tea and coffee, which, for a luxury hotel , is much less common. Disappointingly, there was hardly any hot water left in the urn to make tea, and what was there was lukewarm at best.

The breakfast was perfectly adequate and served quickly, suggesting that it is precooked in the kitchen and then plated up when ordered. While that’s not a significant problem, it is disappointing to be served fried eggs that have been kept warm a little too long when a fresh egg takes only a minute or two to cook.

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel Breakfast

Sunborn London Yacht Hotel: The Verdict

sunborn yacht hotel number

With countless highly-rated dining options within just a few minutes’ walk from the Sunborn, it’s a surprise and disappointment that the restaurant can’t match the standards that the rest of the hotel sets. With those other options available, though, it’s not something that should put you off, as it’s the hotel that holds the appeal.

How guest reviews work.

Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.

You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.

Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):

  • Politically sensitive comments
  • Promotional content
  • Illegal activities
  • Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
  • Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
  • Spam and fake content
  • Animal cruelty
  • Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
  • Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.

An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).

We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.

Guidelines and standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The Best Things to Do in La Défense, Paris

Bassin Takis

From celebrated sculptures to a beautiful cathedral and stunning modern architecture, there is plenty to experience in Paris’ La Défense district.

When you think of culture in Paris , La Défense doesn’t immediately spring to mind – primarily, it’s a business district, much like London’s Canary Wharf. However, it’s about time this perspective was upturned. In this article, we give you a glimpse into just a handful of the district’s hidden architectural and artistic highlights.

Marvel at Joan Miró’s abstract sculptures

The most unexpected sight in La Défense is a sculpture display by Spanish artist Joan Miró (1893 – 1983) . The piece is called Pair of Lovers Playing with Almond Blossoms and was created in 1976, less than a decade before Miró’s death.

Bassin Takis

While they might seem a little out of place at first, the brightly-coloured, creative shapes of Miró’s sculptures prove that the area isn’t just for serious people in suits. It’s a subtle hint that the district is bursting with unexpected surprises, for those who are willing to explore.

Immerse yourself in an open-air museum

The Joan Miró sculptures might be the most vibrant, imposing works of art to catch your attention in La Défense, but there are other artistic gems lurking in the shadows waiting to be discovered as well. Scattered between the buildings of La Défense is a magnificent open-air museum , with 60 works of art signed by great modern and contemporary artists.

Quartier Faubourg de l’Arche

These include Calder’s Red Spider , César’s The Thumb, the Vegetal Chimney by François and La Défense de Paris by Barrias. You can also book a guided open-air art space tour to make sure you don’t miss any notable works.

1. Watch the sun set under the Grande Arche

la-grande-archectana-duffourc-min-650x488

This cube-shaped monument first opened in 1989 after being selected to win a national design competition launched by former French president François Mitterrand. Known as La Grande Arche de La Défense, it rises up against the Parisian skyline like a 20th-century version of the Arc de Triomphe. Its jaw-dropping size, 110 metres tall and wide, is so huge that it could actually fit the Notre-Dame Cathedral within its arch. It’s most incredible to visit when the sun sets in the centre of the Grande Arche vault.

Be mesmerised by the Fontaine Agam’s mosaics

The Fontaine Agam is one of the most unusual and spectacular fountains in Paris. With 66 water jets and a vibrant pattern of mosaics that rise majestically from the road below, it’s a magical place to visit in La Défense.

If you’re planning to stop by a boulangerie and buy a sandwich to eat on the go, then this is a great spot to tuck in by the side of the fountain. There’s a calm tranquillity to be found in the beauty of its basin.

Fontaine Agam

2. Visit the Cathédrale Sainte Geneviève et Saint Maurice

From the famous Notre-Dame on the Île de la Cité to the Grande Mosque of Paris, places of worship are some of Paris’ most popular attractions. The Cathédrale Sainte Geneviève et Saint Maurice is not only a beautiful, overlooked example of religious architecture in the city, but it is also rooted in some fascinating history. Sainte Geneviève, after whom the cathedral is named, was born around the year 420, supposedly in the spot where the cathedral stands today. Legend has it that Sainte Geneviève was born with healing powers and so, many tourists flock to pray by the ‘healing waters’ of the well. You can also visit the sarcophagus that holds Sainte Geneviève’s remains.

Architecture lovers can enjoy a guided tour

The Grande Arche vault might be the most iconic landmark in this business district, but there are plenty more architectural wonders to be discovered, too.

La Défense’s cityscape has many hidden surprises

There are unique and unusual buildings designed by internationally renowned architects at every turn in this district. These include the imposing Centre of New Industries and Technologies, one of the first ever buildings in La Défense, and the pioneering towers of the 1960s, right through to more recent, bold additions like D2 or Majunga.

Even now, renovations, developments and new buildings mean the area is constantly reinventing itself. The best way to learn about what makes this district so architecturally special is to enjoy a guided tour by a local expert.

Track down the Berlin Wall

A small segment of the Berlin Wall, the concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989, can be found next to one of the office buildings in the La Défense area of Paris.

La Défense’s Fontaine Agam is a great place to have a picnic

It can be a little difficult to find, unless you know exactly where to look, but there are tours on offer that can help you track down this hidden relic.

Some of these walks are combined with a street art tour, including the work of Catherine Feff, for example, a Parisian artist and painter born in 1954. Such tours give a rare insight into the most overlooked district in Paris.

La Défense is a diverse and unexpected cityscape

3. Shop at Les Quatre Temps

Shopping Mall

Whether you prefer to browse tiny designer boutiques or dash by the bigger outlets, Les Quatre Temps offers an impressive selection of shopping options. The centre brings together all the hottest brands under one convenient roof. The best time to shop here tends to be between January and February, during the winter sales, or soldes , which are mandated by the French government. During this time, shops must slash prices on pretty much everything, with up to 75% in price reductions.

TAYLOR SWIFT

Taylor Swift sera à Paris La Défense Arena les 9, 10, 11 & 12 mai 2024 pour The Eras Tour !

ATTENTION : prenez garde à la vente de faux billets. Acheter un billet sur un site de vente non officiel ne vous garantit en aucun cas l’accès à la salle.

et la defense tour first

TAYLOR SWIFT, UNE ARTISTE UNIQUE

L’iconique chanteuse américaine est connue pour sa présence magnétique sur scène et ses performances vocales à couper le souffle. Elle a su évoluer au fil des années, passant de la country à la pop, tout en restant une artiste accomplie. Ses concerts sont réputés pour offrir une expérience où la magie opère à chaque instant.

Taylor Swift a conquis des millions de fans à travers le monde avec des titres tels que « Love Story », « Blank Space » et « Shake It Off ». Ces chansons, chargées d’émotions, de mélodies accrocheuses et de paroles engagées, sont devenues de véritables hymnes générationnels.

Les concerts de Taylor Swift sont bien plus que de simples performances musicales. Ils sont des spectacles complets, avec des décors époustouflants, des effets visuels qui transportent le public et une chorégraphie soignée, où chaque détail est pensé pour offrir une expérience sensorielle immersive.

Pour toutes ces raisons, ne manquez pas l’occasion de vivre l’expérience Taylor Swift en live !

Attention aux faux billets

Nous vous recommandons d’ acheter vos billets uniquement sur les sites de vente autorisés pour ces concerts (Ticketmaster et le site Paris La Défense Arena). La revente illicite de places de spectacles via certaines plateformes internet s’est accrue, nuisant aux publics, aux artistes et aux professionnels du spectacle. Spéculation sur des places de spectacles revendues à des prix exorbitants (au-delà de leur vraie valeur), billets contrefaits, duplicatas du même billet revendus plusieurs fois… Acheter sur ces sites comporte de nombreux risques, et surtout celui de ne pas pouvoir assister au spectacle.

En France, la loi du 12 mars 2012 interdit la revente de billets de spectacles sans l’autorisation du producteur de spectacles.

Allianz One

Year of construction: 1984 Architect: Jean Willerval, with Branco Vulic Year of renovation: 2015 Architect : Agence Bridot Willerval Surface area: 38,000 sq.m Height: 85 m, 22 floors Former names: AGF tower, PFA tower, PB25, Allianz Athena

Address: 1 cours Michelet - 92800 Puteaux Nearest car park: Michelet Nearest public transport: Esplanade de La Défense

The Allianz One Tower was originally considered to be the first bureaucratic tower in La Défense. With the help of the interior architecture agency, Enfi Design, Jean Willerval is working on absolute flexibility. Indeed, it is based on a square grid, both parallel and perpendicular to the partitions, and banishes blind spaces.

Outside, the building resembles a succession of crystalline prisms whose triangular planes oscillate with undulations, slits and notches. Defects" that bring light inside and multiply the image reflected outside.

The Allianz One tower has undergone a sustainable renovation operation until 2015. Built 30 years ago, it has retained its crystalline appearance but has been clad with dark blue-grey semi-reflective surfaces that give it a more contemporary look.

The renovation work was carried out by the architectural firm Bridot Willerval for Allianz. Allianz One obtained four reference certifications in recognition of the willingness and efforts made during the renovation of the Athena Tower:

The French HQE "Exceptional" certificate for its environmental qualities, based on fourteen criteria divided into four areas of performance: eco-construction, eco-management, comfort and health; The British BREEAM "Excellent" certificate; The American LEED "Gold" certificate for renovation; The BBC Effinergie Rénovation label.

The tower welcomed its first users, employees of the Allianz Group, in early January 2016.

A word about the architect

Jean Willerval (1924-1996) began his career in 1959, mainly in his native Nord-Pas-de-Calais. His first significant works include the Saint-Jean-Bosco church in Mons-en-Baroeul and the Lille courthouse. In 1971, the brutalism of the Masséna barracks in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, contrasting with the Nordic modernism of his early works, placed him among the proponents of an international alternative.

At La Défense, Jean Willerval began with a project that came first in the consultation for Tête Défense in 1980 but was not completed. In 1984, he returned to the prisms of the 1920s for the Allianz One Tower. The same year, he co-signed the Descartes Tower with Fernando Urquijo and Giorgio Macola. In association with Bernard Lamy, he is in charge of the Gan Eurocourtage tower. After a long interruption, his son Bruno Willerval took over the project.
