Rough Guide
"A charming, quiet hotel set in an atmospheric period building at the end of a picturesque 1850s passage."
Fodor's
"A unique mainstay of the district, the Chopin recalls its 1846 birth date with a creaky-floored lobby and aged woodwork, with basic but comfortable rooms." Full review
Insight Guides
"A quiet, friendly hotel in an excellent location, in a 19th-century glass-and-steel-roofed arcade off the main shopping boulevards."
DK Eyewitness
"The well-loved Chopin gets fully booked far in advance due to its low prices, friendly welcome, and unusual location in a historic covered passage."
Time Out
"Handsomely set in a historic, glass-roofed arcade next door to the Grévin museum, the Chopin's original 1846 façade adds to its old-fashioned appeal." Full review
BlackBook
"This budget option near the Grands Boulevards may be a bit spartan, but its location in a glass-topped 1846 arcade delivers charm in spades."

Michelin Guide
Star
"It was at L'Hotel that the great Oscar Wilde died in 1900. The atypical, aesthetic decor, updated by Jacques Garcia, still manages to pay homage to artistic pomp and splendour."
Frommer's
"Ranking just a notch below the Relais Christine , this is one of the Left Bank's most charming boutique hotels." Full review
Concierge
"The glitterati and sophisticated couples keep this 20-room property booked solid, so reserve two to three months in advance for high-season accommodation."
Fodor's
"There's something just a bit naughty in the air at this eccentric and opulent boutique hotel." Full review
Insight Guides
"This legendary hotel has been redecorated by Jacques Garcia, but retains something of its old sense of decadence in the extravagant decor, cellar fumoir and mini swimming pool."
Travel + Leisure
"Expect red brocade walls, floor-length silk draperies, oversize tassels, and ornate patterns covering every surface." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"A riot of exuberance and opulence, this Jacques Garcia-designed hotel is gloriously decadent."
Time Out
"For the ultimate sensuous, decadent Parisian trip with scintillating literary overtones, head for the sumptuous L’Hôtel in St-Germain-des-Prés." Full review
Star Service
"Rising above the service and maintenance standards found at...the more modest boutique hotels in the neighborhood, this hotel offers adventurous and well-heeled travelers a unique living experience." Full review
