Location, location,

the action. Almost every major landmark is less than
15 mins away on foot. Besides this undeniable advantage,
the hotel has no other remarkable feature. Rooms are
comfortable but rather small, decoration is modern with
no frills. Rates are quite attractive for the area.

say French people, and this man is no exception: his
establishment is as clean as a whistle and hospitable.
Rooms are rather spacey to Parisian standards, and equipped
with double-glazed windows. The hotel is situated close

Hotel Malar struck
us as a very neat, clear, nicely modern hotel. Perhaps
its most remarkable architectural feature is the inside
courtyard around which the building is wrapped up. The

The Red Partridge
Hotel nestles in the XIXth district, the North-East

a slight handicap largely offset by the neighboring
Buttes-Chaumont Park, the quietness of the surroundings,
and the 'old working-class Paris' feeling of the Belleville

'Classic' perhaps
describes most accurately the Hotel du Palais Bourbon.
Be it because of the location -- next to the Parliament,
the Rodin Museum, and Napoleon's resting place -- or
more simply because of the owners' tastes, the place
oozes classic French comfort. Dark veneers and hardwood
are generously used everywhere, heavy rugs and draperies
too. This establishment has a something portly to it.
Except for a few of them, rooms are rather spacey. Not
so surprisingly, rates are in the upper range. But in
such a decor, we would venture value for money remains
good. |

The place sits halfway between the Eiffel Tower and

Larmartine Opera as a business traveler's hotel. It
is well situated in a banking district, not far from
the Opera House and the 'inner belt', the roadway along
which once stood the third line of ramparts erected

in the late XVIIIth and mid-XIXth styles, a characteristic
quite often found in French provincial homes. About
15 mins away lies the Monceau Park, an expense of greenery

a Hollywood stage-set of a Paris market street. Upscale
Monceau Park is also nearby, and major attractions such
as the Eiffel Tower are short trips away. The lobby

It's no coincidence
that a portrait of Madame Sévigné, France's
famous 17th-century woman of letters and society hostess,
graces the lobby. Mr. and Mrs. Boileau, the charming
couple who runs this hotel, hung it there to show that
they enjoy receiving guests as much as she did. Almost
all the spacious rooms have antique furniture. The hotel
is in a beautiful upscale neighborhood. It's a bit on
the pricey side, but the owners aren't trying to make
money by squeezing in as many people as possible. |

On a quiet street
just off the Champs-Elysées, halfway between the
Arch of Triumph and the Place de la Concorde. Just right
if you feel like getting a shot of 1970s nostalgia:
the reception area and spacious rooms are all decorated
in the Disco Decade style. Excellent rates considering
the prime location. |

This hotel is in
a 17th-century building right next to the Comédie
Française playhouse, so the theater theme isn't
surprising. The dramatic old grand staircase and huge
reception area add to the effect. The Spanish painter
Goya lived in this house, which has layer upon layer
of history. Some of the spacious rooms feature low ceilings
with exposed wooden beams and original little windows.
All of them have different shapes and sizes. The rather
steep rates are worth it for the historic patina and
location on a small, quiet street in a beautiful neighborhood. |

A Dutchman gave
this hotel to his wife, Pearl; hence the name. The web
site has a great virtual tour. The lobby opens out on
to a huge, partly covered Spanish patio which doubles
as a breakfast room. A highly-skilled professional tends
the bar, which is rare for a three-star hotel. Maybe
that's why this place is a hit with the Scottish rock
band Texas. They stay here whenever they're in town.
La Perle is on an old, narrow, lively street near Saint
Sulpice church lined with cafes, bars and restaurants.
The young, amicable director, an Englishman named Mr.
Spowe, sets the tone for the whole staff, which is very
friendly, from the bartender to the chambermaids. Located
in a 17th-century house, the rooms have low ceilings
and exposed wooden beams. Excellent value for money:
it could almost be a four-star because of the service,
location and bar. |

The Relais Bosquet
hotel, situated near the Eiffel Tower and the Invalides
Church (Napoleon's final resting place), has the amenities
coming with a good 3-star hotel. There's a plus though:
the owner is very proud of his coffee, and rightly so
— we personally think it ranks among the best
served at any hotel in Paris. The fruit juices aren't
bad either. The staff is friendly. Quiet, rather spacious,
and air-conditioned rooms are decorated in soft tones.
You may take advantage of winter and summer discount
rates during certain periods. The hotel has a website
offering a secure online booking and payment system.

Mr. Hautier, the

but haughty: really friendly and outgoing, yet at the
same time respectful and self-effacing. Some rooms have
glass doors opening out on to balconies. The Lyons train
station is just down the street, so this is a perfect
hopping-off point if you're planning a trip to Southern
France: the Mediterranean is now just three hours away
on the new high-speed train. |

Ideal for those
addicted to running and strolling because it is located
next door to the Luxembourg Gardens, where you also
take the kids to enjoy marionette shows and sail toy
boats in the basins. Spacious, comfortable rooms with
big beds and tables make up for the lack of a particular
style. This hotel caters to families — not surprising
since the owners are a brother-sister team. They sometimes
squabble but don't let that put you off: this is a very
relaxed, down-to-earth place. |

A 3-star hotel
with 4-star service, quality and luxury. It has the
reputation of being the best and most beautiful 3-star
in Paris. Each room has a different character and a
flat-screen TV, and some have fireplaces. When you walk
into the magnificent courtyard you feel like you're
entering the courtyard of a country manor house. Steps
away from Saint Germain des Prés and the most
charming streets on the Left Bank. Mr. Lafortune, who
has run this gem for the past 30 years, has great taste.
The staff is large, attentive and friendly. OK, so it's
a bit pricey for a 3-star but it's more like a 4-star
? so we won't complain. |
