“STUNNING!!! In one word, very close to perfection!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Ouah, this is one of the best hotel I have ever stayed in Paris for years....and yes taking into account 5 stars!!!!
From the website it felt slightly "over the top" or should I say "kitsch"....but hey let's give it a go.

Not only the hotel is well located but you also have plenty of excellent restaurants nearby.
The Main facade is nice and discreet (located in a narrow street you can easy miss it unless you know the address....but I guess this is also part of the charm of this superb "boutique hotel".

With only 33 rooms, a small but super efficient and friendly front desk a waiting area (kind of fashion if not a bit too trendy), the lounge is spotless with an excellent selection of books and magazines (including the Hermes Scarf latest's book, and plenty of excellent books about Paris, luxury brands and craftsmanship...as well as a couple of computer, smooth music and some well design lightning....next you have the breakfast area, small but with a good layout, very functional and surprisingly very comfortable.
You also have a nice outside gardens for smokes or fresh air at the back.....

As for the room, again, been very fussy about even the smallest details I have to admit that it was above my expectations, on all level.
First the doors, lock and all surface and finish including the lighting are just top notch!

The room aren't too big but you really get an Homy feeling with the right things at the right place.
Not to mention the Half bottle of Champagne eon Ice (Pierrier Jouet) with a couple of glasses and a large selection of superb "macaron la duree"....Ouah!
The bathroom was also top of the range, with some superb Grohe Fixture, a massive, deep bath from Duravit, not too mention the French towel radiator from Acova! you even get the feeling of top quality on the Hotel sleepers, what can I say! It is also worth mentioning that the bathroom was very well decorated, with a fragrance Green tea floating in the air)


The Bed was set up ready with a bottle of Lavender Spray for a good night sleep in the pillow (aromatherapy) and a couple of chocolates too.

The Air con is good and you can open the windows in Full, the street is pretty quiet and the bed quite good (Not hard enough to my taste, but still excellent).

The entire room is full of plugs and switch all from Legrand (the Celiane top of the range), though very nice I found it quite hard to get use to the multiple lighting combination.....I guess I should have stay a few more nights...

Obviously you get free internet and a good Samsung TV....a large Minibar selection....and I almost forget a ready Professional Nespresso Machine in every room.

I would only point out that depending on the room you might get a small wardrobe with only a few shelves (some rooms are equipped with a complete stand alone wardrobe with plenty of space (but those tend to have a walking shower instead of the bath).

Finally The following morning I had a good breakfast, with again top of the range designer tems from the Tea pot to the salt and pepper from Alessi, not to mention the good music background from Classical to groovy ambiance from the complete Bose sound system....the cheese selection is superb, not to mention the excellent tea selection..though you may find that the overall selection is not as large in term of Fruits and other hot dishes (you do have the usual Bacon and Scramble eggs of course).

And last but no least the service is discreet, efficient and still very friendly....just as it should be from the cleaning Dept to the Front Desk and Breakfast staff......a real treat!

Finally, and to resume I still can't believe how they manage to have it just right with the decoration in every corners, using designers items, mixing style and fabrics it might looks kitsch but it is actually a very dicey exercise with great quality products...they nailed it!!! Creating a real home feeling and cosiness rarely achieve in an hotel those days. Clearly "small is beautiful" and they got it right! Superb.

Good points:

+ Staff, service, attention to details.
+ No short cut in the quality of materials throughout the entire hotel without exception!
+ Value for money (especially if you have the upgrade as an SLH member).
+ The welcome "champagne"
+ The atmosphere, and very risky but successful decoration/theme exercise.

Bad points (Hard to find but only minors).

- The Bed is a bit on the "soft side".
- Not enough shelves on the "integrated" wardrobes.
- I could not find the Nespresso capsules.
- The largest room can only accommodate up to 3 people (Sofa bed for the third).

Well overall a reference for a great hotel in Paris, but hey for such a gem......"please don't tell".

Room Tip: Always a plus to be an SLH (small luxury hotel of the world) member!

“Fantastic Time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Boutique is absolutely the word to use. Fabulously, well presented and exceptionally clean Boutique Hotel. We have just returned from our weekend and very much enjoyed our stay. The staff are incredibly friendly and extremely helpful. It was snowing on the day of our checkout and we were not flying until 8.30pm. We asked if we could leave our bags and use the hotel facilities in the afternoon upon our return - and even though we had checked out, their words were - "we are here to look after you, this is your home" Tremendous service :o)

The hotel is only a 5 minute walk from Port Maillot RER & Metro Stations & also from the bus that goes to Charles De Gaulle Airport, so very accessible to the main attractions/airport. We would highly recommend this hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

“nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Nice place with a good connection for business and sight seeing. Very friendly staff and good breakfast. All in all a good hotel with a good price performance ratio for Paris. Clean and well equipped gym and sauna. Only thing I missed is a relaxation room after the sauna.

“Almost perfect!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

person found this review helpful

Everything is exactly as described previously, beautifully decorated rooms, very friendly staff, ideally situated etc.
The only downside was the mattrass, of very poor quality or just very old, it was like there was a big hole in the middle which was very uncomfortable. A shame because everything else is of top quality.
Next time I will ask for a different room.

“Defiantly Returning”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

I cannot express enough how much of a pleasure this hotel was to stay in. We had gotten engaged a few days earlier and our trip to Paris was to celebrate. The most romantic city in the world lived up to its reputation as everywhere you looked there was a beautiful sight to behold. The hotel only added to this experience as I can safely say the decor in this boutique hotel is exquisite! To top it off we couldn't have wished for nicer staff, every member of the team was friendly and genuinely interested in helping you have the best possible experience during your stay in Paris. I would like to say a huge thank you to you all as you made us feel really well looked after and this added to how special our break turned out to be. You are a credit to the hotel. To finish I will jus say we will definitely be returning. Amazing!
