What you're near — and what you're not
- Grands Boulevards and Sentier
- Walkable to the Marais and Opéra
- Lively dining and bar scene
- Left Bank is a metro ride
- Street noise on busy nights
What you're paying for
Four tiers from compact entry rooms up to larger suites, all in Meilichzon's warm, eclectic style. Entry rooms are genuinely small — size up for a multi-night stay. Courtyard-side rooms trade a little buzz for character.
