Rating: - Fair
Is not the type of music I was looking for!I thought it would have more of a Parisian tone. It did not live up to my expectations.

The CD did not disappoint.

For the benefit of other lounge music newbies, let me explain that the Hotel Costes is a chic nightclub/lounge ... Read More
Rating: - WOW! Sophisticated and relaxing!
I was at a music store in, of all places, Dubai in the UAE. This very cool music came on and I HAD to find out what it was...Hotel Costes vol. 1 !!! Can't wait to get the rest of the series, including the DJ's new solo effort!
