Concierge "Andersen, named after Danish tale teller Hans Christian, is under the eaves on the sixth floor and has gorgeous city views, including a perfect snapshot of the Eiffel Tower."
Travel + Leisure "Paris’s 2010-opened Pavillon des Lettres... pays homage to Voltaire himself, along with 25 other writers who were the inspiration for this chic hotel on a quiet street in the Eighth Arrondissement." Full review
Time Out "Across the river from the historic literary hub of the Left Bank, the Pavillon des Lettres welcomes Moleskine-carrying travellers on a quiet street, secluded from the nearby Champs-Elysées." Full review

The hotel offers three room categories, but be sure to ask for one facing the Eiffel Tower for an exceptional view from your balcony, where you have more elbow room to pen some of your finest work.
Star Service "This is an interesting choice, especially for the literary- minded, and its chic retro-1920s and limited public facilities blend nicely in a much-prized location." Full review
Gayot "Paris ranks among the world's top literary cities, which makes us wonder: why aren't there more hotels like this one in The City of Light?"
Condé Nast Traveler "This 26-room sister hotel to the delightful Pavillon de la Reine conjures a chic take on la vie bohème." Full review

"This dinky boutique hotel, themed around literature, offers an elegant haven in the heart of Paris’ upscale 8th arrondissement. Expect a warm welcome and cosy, comfortable rooms." Full review
Frommer's "The theme here, however, is literature. Each of the 26 exquisite rooms is designated by a different letter and linked to a famous author...room design is serenely hip: The colors are sober." Full review
Michelin Guide "Styled as a literary hotel, each of its twenty-six rooms named for a well-known author...its quietly elegant contemporary interiors are inviting enough for curling up with a good book" Full review

Travel + Leisure "Built in 1892 on the city’s first hot air balloon launch field, this Neoclassical château was transformed into a luxury hotel in 1990." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The St-James occupies a mansion with a small park near the Avenue Foch and the Bois de Boulogne... aristocratic atmosphere."
Time Out "A extravagantly gorgeous hotel whose location and history are hard to beat." Full review
Star Service "This hotel's location on the western edge of Paris makes it among the most serene and exclusive hotels in town." Full review
Gayot "At this, the only chateau hotel in Paris, the generously proportioned 48 rooms and suites are decorated in a low-key 1930s style with flowers, plants and bathrooms clad in gray mosaic tile."
BlackBook "A half-French, half-American named Bambi Sloan takes credit for interior design of clashing striped-on-floral funk and hot-air balloon wallpaper that somehow works dazzlingly."
Condé Nast Traveler "Forty-eight delightfully renovated rooms and suites in a garden-surrounded neoclassical mansion built in 1892 in the elegant sixteenth arrondissement." Full review
