Generator Paris
Led by designer Anwar Mekhayech of the Design Agency in Toronto, Generator Paris and Rome will follow the brand’s look of local and modern sophistication. The expansion, which will take the company’s total bed stock to an excess of 6,400, follows the opening of Generator’s flagship property in Barcelona in March.
Generator Paris
Opening in late 2014, Generator Paris will be located in the Canal St-Martin neighborhood and will be the brand’s largest property⎯⎯accommodating up to 950 guests in a range of dorms, private rooms, and luxury penthouse apartments. Reflecting the surrounding neighborhood and Parisian culture, the interiors will include a café lounge and a vibrant nightclub bar.
Generator Rome
Built in the 1900s as a residential building on Via Principe Amedeo, the building housing Generator Rome will be close to the Coliseum amphitheater, Termini Station, and the Metro. Set over seven floors and with 80 rooms, the building will accommodate up to 264 guests and will include a café, bar, and lounge. A rooftop terrace will complete the design.
Generator Rome
“We passionately believe that Generator’s design-inspired vision is raising the bar for the hostel industry and making style more accessible and affordable for the young traveler,” says Carl Michel, executive chairman of Generator. “We look forward to taking Generator’s unique flavor to Paris and Rome as we continue our rapid international expansion.”
