...reminders of the old Paris. Jules first meets Alba when he watches her shoplift records in a discomat. She is dressed completely in plastic and carries a portfolio of naked self-portraits. She says things like "Oh wow, man, COOL" and sips Coke from a straw because it's chic.

The Thousand and One Nights Suite, a triplex with a chic little swimming pool, costs $1,455 a night, breakfast not included.
