Rough Guide
"Sumptuously designed boutique hotel...the hotel would make a perfect romantic hideaway."
Michelin Guide
"Each room has its own individual decor... and exudes luxury and refinement. A little gem in the heart of the Marais district."
Frommer's
"What you get is a sophisticated and supercharged color palette, a sense of high-profile design, and a deliberately cluttered venue." Full review
Concierge
"Prices at this hip place run just a little beyond budget territory, but the few extra dollars are justified by its location."
