The concept combines functionality and optimal use of space in order to obtain maximum comfort and design.
184 rooms with a trendy design In order to create a feeling of wellbeing as soon as you enter the room, Etap favoured soft and soothing colours and a totally new approach in lighting: guests can create different atmospheres thanks to several LED light sources. Even the shower’s lighting is adaptable and changes color.
