The hotel chain CitizenM threw a party Thursday night to celebrate the grand opening of its newest accommodation, located at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. And what a blowout it was!

I thought that the only other guests would be bloggers — like me. However, I quickly realized that many other types had been invited, as most of the people there were dressed in business suits. Bloggers don’t wear business suits… at least not the ones I know!

I circulated to meet people and to gather information about the hotel. After all, that was the reason why I was there…to blog about CitizenM’s launch party. I met some businessmen (pictured above)…

Adèle showed me one of the rooms, carefully explaining how everything inside could be controlled by a tablet computer.
I wandered about, exploring the special “theme” rooms that had been set up for the party. Four rooms were occupied by models, demonstrating how the rooms could be used.

After the tour of the rooms, I went to the front courtyard to get some food. A special thanks goes out to Lily Heise for helping me claim a crêpe from this guy!
