L’hotel in Paris is a high class hotel in the Arts District of the city with a long and illustrious history. Most notably, it’s the place where Oscar Wilde lived for a while and died.
The hotel is done out in a traditional theme with a Parisian twist. The lobby opens onto a tall cylindrical staircase with recesses set in the wall. It gives a lovely light from the roof window and is typically European. Next to the stairs is an antique lift with just about room for two. A squeeze, but very characterful.
We had the Missinguett room, which was a combination of traditional city hotel and a hall of mirrors. The light décor, striped carpet and orange curtains gave a good quality of light from the windows, which was then spread liberally around the room by the mirrored furniture.
The head and foot of the bed were mirrored, as were the lamp stands and dressing table, making for a very interesting room. Thanks to the indirect lighting, the mirrors worked better in practice than they sound.
“The L’hotel in Paris is a mixture of designs with that traditional Parisian flair.”
The large bed dominated the room and was very comfortable indeed. The thick quilt and pillows with supportive mattress gave us an excellent nights’ sleep. There was a sofa at one end of the room with a small LCD TV in the corner.
The bathroom was small but perfectly formed with sink, mirror and a small bath and was accessed from the hallway near the front door. It wasn’t the largest room in the world, but considering the limitations of the building, it served its purpose well.
The rest of the hotel is a mixture of designs with that traditional Parisian flair. The basement has a lovely Hammam Pool. It is possible to hire this privately if you book in advance. A nice touch in a city hotel.
The rest of the public areas are just as well turned out. Everywhere was clean, tidy and in good condition. The staff were friendly, helpful and ready to serve, something of note in Paris. We had a nice time at L’hotel Paris and would happily visit here again.
