I totally agree re MO. It is the hotel of choice for anyone looking for a contemporary decor in Paris.
You are very right. The Pen hasn't found its market yet and I hear many suite guests find the decor a bit nondescript. That could, however, change soon and they look into that. For the time being they live from the global Peninsula reputation and the team hasn't been able to deliver that service just yet.

One can totally enjoy the Pen and this beautiful building that they delivered without ever booking a room or suite. This is the weakest point of the product.
