What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
It’s chic and colorful, with a surplus of personality, and its diminutive name suits it — in contrast with the self-seriousness of the grand palace hotels.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the 9th Arrondissement, the hotel places guests moments from Grands Magasins shopping, Gare Saint-Lazare, and historic performance halls.
The rooms
Roche Bobois furnishings and whimsical lipstick-stamped prints detail the quarters, while top-floor artist suites gaze out over zinc rooftops.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The baths
Three private underground cabins hold circular whirlpool tubs and lounging daybeds, with Bluetooth audio for your own music.
Restaurant
La Guinguette
A zinc bar pours French craft cocktails beside market stalls serving Breton oysters, crab rolls, and charcuterie boards.
How it began
Named after the French term of endearment, the boutique hotel opened in 2020 as a lively homage to French pop culture.
