new places: dynamic and creative paris!

2013-2014
Dossier « Paris art de vivre » / Paris hébergement - 2013 - Office du Tourisme et des Congrès de Paris – 1/10/2013
Paris has a wide choice of accommodation at all prices, for all tastes and in all styles!
With such a varied offer, everyone can find accommodation to suit them in the French
capital: palaces, upscale or budget hotels, design or atypical accommodation. Visitors
will find the whole range of traditional accommodation here as well as other options
such as the comfort of a rental or exchange apartment, the conviviality of a youth
hostel, the experience of couch surfing or even the cosy intimacy of a Bed & Breakfast.
And proving that Paris is a city on the move, every month hotels are undergoing
refurbishment and modernization, and new establishments are opening and offering
new services. Paris has one of the largest accommodation capacities in Europe with
more than 1,500 officially-recognized hotels, i.e. more than 80,000 guest rooms, as
well as 61 apartment hotels, 1 campsite and 35 accommodation centres for young
people.
NEW PLACES: DYNAMIC AND CREATIVE PARIS!
Paris lives up to its name as the capital of fashion and creation. And that applies to the
hotel sector too, with new hotels, renovation and refurbishment projects, etc. There is
always something happening on the accommodation scene ensuring that the city is
always cutting edge.
> All new and beautiful!
All categories of hotels open in Paris, and many of them stand out for their designer
decor and originality.
This year, the Elegancia group has opened the hotel Angely, which adds to the
accommodation offer in the Marais / Oberkampf district. With its guest rooms designed
by cabinets of creative designers, the Angely offers guests the choice of being an angel
or a demon. The hotel Champs-Elysées Mac Mahon, which has been closed since the
beginning of 2011, reopens after a complete makeover in an Empire style with a
contemporary feel. Ideally situated below the Arc de Triomphe, the hotel offers a
unique atmosphere in its 35 guest rooms and 5 suites, a lounge bar and a terrace with a
view. In the same district, Book Inn France, an independent hotel group, unveils its
new hotel full of charm: the Hôtel Elysée Secret. This new boutique hotel with its
designer and sensual atmosphere is a new secret Parisian spot. With an ambience
inspired by the spirit of 18th-century boudoir hotels, the Elysée Secret offers 26 guest
rooms in the categories ‘Charme’, ‘Secret’,’ Boudoir’ and ‘Suites Trianon’. The
Newhotel Roblin has reopened after full refurbishment of its 77 guest rooms. The decor
of this establishment, entrusted to luxury decorator Flamand, has been personalized on
the theme of Paris’s various districts. Behind its listed facade, everything is new! One
of Paris’s tourist gems, the Hôtel Montmartre Mon Amour, has just reopened a few
steps from Sacré Coeur. Twenty-four rooms, devoted to love, bear the names of famous
couples. The reception is in a rococo style and the hotel corridors are decorated in the
colour scarlet. Stella Cadente is the designer behind the renovation of the Hôtel
Original Paris, well-situated between the chic area of Place des Vosges and the lively
Bastille. Exuding luxury, extravagance, poetry and elegance, the Hôtel Original lives up
to its name. Fans of myths should go to the Legend Hôtel, in the Montparnasse district.
This hotel promises guests a gripping and mysterious stay, as indicated by the intriguing

suite ‘Passage secret’. Or to the Maison Favart, in another district (2nd arrondissement)
of Paris. This house and hotel, below the
Opéra-Comique theatre, takes the name of Charles Favard who formerly ran the
institution. The atmosphere is full of 18th-century Paris, musical and festive.
> Up-coming
Many other projects will soon follow on from these new addresses to give Paris a
continually changing and renewed accommodation offer. Among the most eagerlyawaited in 2013/2014 is the Buddha-Bar Hotel, which will be the brand’s first Parisan
hotel. It is requesting a five-star rating for its 56 guest rooms (including 21 suites)
housed in an 18th-century mansion owned by the Qatar group. Another much-awaited
opening, the first So by Sofitel will replace the Sofitel Arc de Triomphe; and the Molitor
swimming pool, a masterpiece of art deco heritage, will be converted into a 124-room
4-star hotel.
The Singapore group Ascott, present in Paris until now under the brand Citadines, plans
to convert the former Hôtel Costes K, in avenue Kléber, into an upscale apartment
hotel under the name of Ascott Arc de Triomphe Paris 5*. It is also in the heart of the
16th arrondissement, close to the Arc de triomphe, that the Peninsula chain will open a
new 200-bedroom establishment in the former Kléber international conference centre.
Between now and 2014, the hotel Cheval Blanc, with 100 guest rooms, will open at the
Samaritaine. The former department store will house this palace with magnificent
views of the Seine, plus shops, offices and even a crèche. In the same period, the
palace Plaza Athénée will extend its premises to create new guest rooms, following the
purchase of adjoining buildings. And the glam rock brand Zadig et Voltaire plan to
launch their first ever hotel (with an ultra select concept) in the heart of the chic and
discreet 7th arrondissement. Major projects include, the opening of the Grand hôtel du
Palais-Royal, a new luxury hotel and the reopening of the Prince de Galles, the jewel in
the crown of Parisian hotels, after full renovation of the establishment.

AT ALL PRICES!
With its wide selection of hotels, Paris appeals to all visitors, whatever their budget.
Hotels in all categories are recognized for their excellent price quality ratio, whilst the
introduction of a new hotel classification in the summer of 2012 (the previous one
dated back to 1986) provides French and foreign customers with criteria that is now
compatible with international hotels with ratings of from 1 to 5 stars. Since 23 July
2012, the old classification is obsolete and signs showing the former star ratings should

have been removed. Parisian hotels have taken the opportunity of the change in the
classification system to modernize their establishments.
> Budget: Paris in the top three least expensive cities!
Budget hotels are well represented amongst the extraordinary choice of
accommodation available in Paris … and extremely competitive. For a night in a double
room in a one-star hotel, expect to pay between 40 and 80 euros and for a two-star
hotel, between 80 and 120 euros. On average, a room in a budget-category hotel costs
80-90 euros.

> Mid-range: numerous hotels in Paris
Hotels in the mid-range category are also good value for money. Three-star and fourstar hotels provide a high standard of comfort at prices ranging from 120 euros to 220
euros per night for a double room. Competitive prices which put Paris on a highly
competitive level compared to other international cities such as London, Brussels,
Geneva or New York. Three-star and four-star hotels are also numerous in the capital,
which makes it easy to find an available rooms at competitive prices.

> Upscale: French-style luxury
The introduction of the new hotel classification (the previous one dated back to 1986)
has speeded up the reform and modernization of the Paris hotel industry. A result of
this has been the new five-star rating to symbolize the highest certification. This new
category is a veritable guage of appreciation and comparison, notably for foreign
clientele. The five-star rating is a widely-used standard abroad; it facilitates
comparison between equivalent hotels throughout the world and now enables these
French hotels to promote the upscale amenities and services that have given them a
global reputation. Some 50 hotels have a five-star rating, and a number of four-star
hotels also have very luxurious establishments.
Upscale hotels in Paris offer a wide variety of different atmospheres and environments
and all offer high quality services for the greatest comfort of their guests. From large
historical hotels to more intimate boutique hotels, there is something to suit all tastes.

> The Palace distinction for Paris’s prestigious grand establishments
In order to promote Paris’s appeal as a luxury capital, the French ministry of tourism
intiated an officially-recognized ‘palace’ distinction, based on the criteria of a panel of
judges, in 2011. Five historic establishments have already been awarded this distinction
in Paris: Le Bristol, The Four Seasons Hotel George V, Le Meurice, the Plaza Athénée,
and the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme. Of course, these are not the only exceptional
establishments in Paris; previously seven Parisian hotels were implicitly considered as
palaces because they were recognized as such by their guests. Their history, their
location and their distinctive decor contribute to their renown. (The Hôtel de Crillon,
the Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière and The Ritz complete this prestigious list). Palaces
offered guests a choice of 1,800 or so spacious guest rooms (average surface area of 30
m²) in 2012. However, some suites exceed 100 m2 and occupy two, even three storeys!
Furthermore, palaces must offer a wide range of services: concierge service,
multilingual staff, a fitness centre, a spa, skin and body care treatments and massages,
and outstanding restaurants. Hotels must have existed for 12 months before aspiring to
obtain this distinction. Six other establishments may receive the distinction in the
coming months: The Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière, The Royal Monceau Raffles, The ShangriLa, The Mandarin Oriental, The Peninsula and The Hôtel Crillon.
Parisian hotels are not just about luxury, they are also about innovation: you’ll find
starred chefs like Yannick Alléno at Le Meurice or Thierry Fréchon at Le Bristol, at the
hotels’ prestigious restaurants, and celebrated barmen like Yann Daniel at the Park
Hyatt.

FOR ALL TASTES!
As well as having something to suit everyone’s budget, Parisian hotels also have all
types of styles and decor to suit everyone’s taste: from independent hotels to leading
chain hotels, from standard interiors to the most zany decor, from hotels with a unique
decor to those infused with history, or even those devoted to well-being, artistic
discovery or with exceptional settings.
> Designer hotels: welcome to the world of fashion and design
For several years now, hotels have been increasingly calling on concept designers and
interior decorators for the design and decor of their establishments. The distinction
between them and boutique hotels is not easy, and yet design hotels are a category

Dossier « Paris art de vivre » / Paris hébergement - 2013 - Office du Tourisme et des Congrès de Paris – 1/10/2013
apart. In these establishments, particular attention is paid to the interior decoration,
designer furniture and to the use of new materials and the latest technology
The designer touch is instantly recognizable in these hotels. Visitors stay here to
experience the creative world of a designer: Jacques Garcia for the Hôtel Costes, the
Hôtel Fouquet’s Barrière or L’Hôtel, Andrée Putman for the Pershing Hall, and Philippe
Starck for the partial makeover of Le Meurice, Le Royal Monceau-Raffles and Mama
Shelter. The designer Christian Lacroix also left his signature on the interior decoration
of the Hôtel du Petit Moulin, the Hôtel Bellechasse and the Hôtel Notre-Dame, while
Claudio Colucci created the lighting concept at the Hôtel Lumen. Finally, we owe the
ambiance of Le Placide and the Intercontinental Marceau to Bruno Borrione.
These hotels are everything except conventional and are the fruit of the imagination of
talented concept designers, which have resulted in some fine creations: the newly
revamped Napoleon-style hotel La Maison Champs-Elysées, a 5-star 57-bedroom
establishment with garden and fumoir by the Belgian Martin Margiela couture house,
the designer who sees all the world in white; or designer Bambi Sloane’s Anglo-Saxon
fantasy for the Saint-James Paris hotel, half-chateau half-family home, located in the
16th arrondissement. At Jules et Jim, in the Marais, the atmosphere is ‘gay friendly’
and very arty to judge by the choice of art works on show in collaboration with Parisian
gallery owners. Suppliers to this 23-bedroom establishment have also been carefully
chosen, and include Moët & Belvedere, the Maison Francis Kurkdjian for perfume, and
Kusmi tea. The Hôtel Crayon, a 3-star 27-bedroom hotel situated close to the PalaisRoyal, has a homely feel to it, with decor by Parisian artist, Julie Gauthron. The
furniture is sourced from second-hand shops and the colourful rooms have a strong
identity and a bucolic atmosphere.
In recent years, more and more concept designers and interior decorators have been
called on to decorate and design the interiors of hotels in Paris giving rise to the
creative expression of renowned international talented designers like Matali Crasset at
the Hi Matic hotel. Located in the trendy 11th arrondissement of Paris, the hotel has 42
environmentally-friendly guest rooms that are both practical and avant-garde: they
have elements of a city hotel, country lodging, and a fun and functional cabin. At the
29-room hotel O, created by the famous designer Ora-ïto, and situated in rue Hérold in
the 1st arrondissement, the accommodation is designed as a haven of peace away from
the stress of urban life.
The enthusiasm of the general public for cooking is creating a new trend: gourmet
hotels. Creativity also applies to cooking! The Hôtel Thoumieux, with 15 guest rooms
designed by India Mahdavi, is the result of a sensational encounter between the cook
Jean-François Piège and the multi-talented Thierry Costes. A combination of floral
fabrics, wild cat motifs and marble give the place a rare sensuality and distinctive
atmosphere. In another genre, the Hôtel Cadran, opened in 2009, is particularly known
for its sublime chocolate bar, the very heart of the establishment. Finally, the brand
new Auberge Flora, opened at the end of 2012, confirms this trend: an inn with a gîte
and restaurant, which gives the 9th arrondissement a holiday atmosphere.

> Arty hotels: Paris loves artists
These Parisian hotels give contemporary artists new settings for creative expression. At
the Hôtel Particulier Montmartre, for example, each of the five suites has been
entrusted to an up-and-coming or celebrated contemporary artist. The Hôtel Platine is
the place to stay if you are looking for decor on the theme of cinema and Hollywood.
Situated close to the Eiffel Tower, the 46 guest rooms of this hotel are all devoted to
the mythical star Marilyn Monroe. Art sets the scene in the lobby of the Méridien Étoile.
Keycards are used to access the Executive rooms and also give access to the Palais de
Tokyo, Paris’s centre for contemporary creation. The artist Piotr Klemensiewicz is the
focus at the Villa Modigliani with specially designed pieces for the hotel. And the

bedrooms of the atypical Hôtel Amour, in the ninth arrondissement, feature works by

As for the Hôtel du Triangle d’or, it has a musical theme. Designed in collaboration
with great music stars: Rickie Lee Jones (folk), Archie Shepp (jazz), Mc Solaar (rap),
Jaques Higelin (rock) and Manu Katché (drums), the hotel devotes each of its floors to

> Hotels and contemporary art: luxury, art and delight
Luxury and contemporary art have always gone well together; the major Parisian hotels
know this and have decided to honour the combination. Le Royal Monceau-Raffles Paris
doesn’t do anything by halves and supports the latest art works more than ever: the
establishment offers its own art gallery which from the first exhibitions has made a
strong impression; its specialist bookshop enables guests to buy exceptional books
about young contemporary artists, whilst art concierges, always on the lookout for
what’s new in the art world, share their favourites and their recommendations for
discovering Paris in a new way. Le Meurice has created a prize that rewards an up-andcoming artist on the French scene to help them to make themselves known abroad. The
Paris Rive Gauche hotels launched a photographic prize five years ago; the winning
photographer has their photos exhibited for a month at one of the group’s hotels. More
recently, contemporary art has moved into the area close to the Pompidou Centre, in
the new Jules et Jim hotel, which hosts exhibitions organized by galleries. Taking the
concept even further, ‘The Box in Paris’ describes itself as ‘a house of contemporary
art’, designed like a unique cultural, participative, fun and comfortable place to go to.
This ‘house’ combines accommodation and a multidisciplinary art space hosting
exhibitions, shows and dinners.

Paris has many hotels with a literary spirit. Numerous hotels are linked to some literary
figure or event or host literature-based events and activities. The Mathurin has a library
with an original collection of 6,479 works by Albin Michel. The hotel Lutetia hosts many
award ceremonies, such as the Médicis awards, the Antonin-Carême awards and the
Elle magazine reader awards. It also organizes literary Saturdays and salons which are
great for literature enthusiasts. At the Hyatt Madeleine, literary brunches take place
one Sunday each month. The Apostrophe, a ‘poetry hotel’, has been designed by

Sandrine Alouf. At the Belle Juliette hotel, in the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district,
guests discover the world of Juliette Récamier and can browse through old books in its
literary bar. At the Pavillion des Lettres, the 26 guest rooms are decorated with texts
by 26 authors including Anderson, Zola, Shakespeare, Tolstoy and Voltaire.
> Boutique hotels: urban, designer, trendy!
The expression comes from Anglo-Saxon countries. It applies to hotels with less than 50
rooms with contemporary charm, original very often designer interiors, and highlypersonalized services, similar to those of a palace hotel. Despite being generally 4-star
establishments, the range of prices may vary as some former two and three-star hotels
have joined this category.

> Hotels and well-being: cocooning at a spa
For a stay in the capital that is a 100 % well-being experience, numerous hotels offer
visitors and non-residents, spa facilities that are veritable havens of peace, far from
the buzz of the city. The prestigious Plaza-Athenée has chosen the luxury Dior brand.
At Le Six hotel, Ida Delam, an expert in well-being has opened the Six & Spa. The
celebrated Geneva spa After the Rain has moved into the Renaissance hotel Paris
Vendôme. A forerunner of made-to-measure beauty, Anne Sémonin has created a menu
of skin-care treatments for Le Bristol. As for the U-Spa Barrière, at Fouquet’s Barrière,
its Roman temple style contemporary decor transports visitors into another era! Fans of
Nuxe products will find all the expertise of this brand at the Mathurin and the Square.
The first ‘detox’ hotel has also opened in Paris: as well as offering treatments, the
Hôtel Gabriel has developed the concept of well-being to include good food, sleep,
luminotherapy, etc. At the Westin Paris-Vendôme, the Six Senses spa, located on the
rue de Castiglione, offers holistic techniques and therapeutic massages to revive you
after a day’s work. At Le Bristol, the spa managed by the prestigious La Prairie brand
has a swimming pool with a sun lounge with views of Paris.

> Micro hotels: small is beautiful
This concept is all the rage at the moment and promises a completely new, exceptional
experience. Designer hotel The Five offers a stay in a suite which can only be described
as unique. With futuristic yet cosy decor, these hotel rooms are completely separate,
like a single room apartment. At Cinq rue de Moussy, the fashion designer Azzedine
Alaïa has created three rooms/apartments with a selection of designer furniture and an
exceptional couture atmosphere. At the 6 Mandel, a guest room is available, tucked
away in the heart of a 16th-century mansion house that has been converted into a
venue for art exhibitions and private events. Six suites, each between 25 and 30 m2,
are available at Konfidentiel and are decorated in six different themes, such as the
world of the kings of France or Marie-Antoinette.

> Hotels with a feel of the past: from Lutetia to Paris
Although the trend is for more contemporary decor, some hotels prefer to evoke a
period style atmosphere inspired by the past. Art deco at the Lutetia hotel, cinema
history with the Lumière brothers at the Scribe. The 17th century sets the scene at the
Pavillon de la Reine, whilst at the Raphaël, it is the 18th century that is the focus. At
the Hôtel Champs-Élysées Mac-Mahon, a few steps from the Arc de Triomphe, there is a
contemporary Empire style, inspired by the Napoleonic era but adapted to today’s
tastes. They all take us on a historical journey.

hotels, what is outside the room is as important as what is inside. The Terrass Hotel on
the Butte Montmartre has breathtaking views of the city from its terrace. The Japanese
restaurant Benkay on the fourth floor of the Novotel Paris tour Eiffel offers wonderful
views of the River Seine, the Maison de la radio and the Statue of Liberty. Even higher,
the Jardins Plein Ciel on the seventh floor of the Hôtel Raphaël offers exceptional
views of the capital’s main monuments from its terrace planted with trees, etc. Finally,
the Hôtel Concorde Lafayette, an integral part of the Palais des Congrès offers a
breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower from some of its guest rooms and the panoramic
bar.

> Hotels with a garden: the countryside in Paris
Looking for a bit of greenery? Some hotels have unsuspected delights, havens of peace
far from the noise and bustle of the city. At the Saint-James & Albany, a former 17th
century private mansion and residence of the Duc de Noailles, you can enjoy lunch in a
delightful courtyard garden.
The Renaissance Paris Hôtel Le Parc Trocadéro, which reopened in 2011 after a full
renovation, boasts a 1,200 m2 tree-lined terrace, one of the largest in Paris. Near
Trocadéro, the Saint-James Paris is surrounded by superb gardens, reserved for
residents of this unique chateau hotel.
More atypical, the Pershing Hall has a plant wall in its dining room, illuminated by a
lovely glass roof. If you’re looking for a refreshing break after some shopping in the
boutiques on avenue Montaigne, then the courtyard garden of the summer restaurant at
the Plaza Athénée is a haven of peace.In the 17th arrondissement, stop off at the
garden restaurant of the Hotel Ampère and sample the menu of chef Yannick Tessier.
Finally, the Hôtel de l’Abbaye, a few steps from Saint-Germain-des-Prés, a former
Benedictine convent offers a peaceful break.

Looking for a different type of break? Something different to being a traditional tourist,
another kind of experience? Do you have special requirements? Today, Paris has all
types of accommodation. Visitors can choose from hotels that are modern, ecofriendly, budget, atypical, adventurous, homely, etc.
> Bed & Breakfast: Paris with the Parisians
Staying with local residents is the latest thing. Bed & Breakfast and furnishedapartment accommodation is on the increase in Paris thanks to the creation of the
‘Hôtes Qualité Paris’ label of quality and the ‘Authentic B&B’ charter created by the
Federation of Parisian Bed & Breakfast Professionals (FPPCH). Here is a way of living
alongside Parisians. The network ‘Rue Amandine’ is an example of this growing trend; it
offers accommodation at the homes of true Parisians, who will give you their advice
and tips on eating out, places to go, culture, shopping and Parisian things to do off the
beaten track. It has 15 or so addresses in Paris.

> Apartment hotels just like home
There is a growing trend for home-style stays! Furnished and equipped apartment
hotels, with a kitchen, are a huge success in the capital; with a house-keeping service
like at a hotel and comfort to make you feel at home. This ‘home sweet home’ concept
is also available at other apartment hotel groups such as Residhotel, Citadines, Citéa,
Adagio, Cosy’s etc.

> Apartment exchanges
Every year, more than 300,000 apartment exchanges take place throughout the world.
Today, this phenomenon is increasing due to the economic recession and growing
access to information via the Internet. In France, there are four overseas offers for
every French offer. Naturally, Paris is a highly sought after destination and boasts a
wealth of offers: from a one-room apartment to a mansion. Not forgetting
photographers’ studios, small houses in the suburbs, etc. There are around 2,500
listings for the Paris Region on the website Trocmaison, (translated into 15 languages),
including 2,000 for Paris itself.
Trocmaison – www.trocmaison.com
> Green accommodation
The Golden Keys concierge and the Green Key label, which recognizes good
environmental management of tourist accommodation, are both working towards the
same goals. Education about the environment, management of waste, water and
energy are taken into account to satisfy a clientele that is sensitive to the protection of
nature and keen to maintain good environmental practices during their holidays or
during a business trip. Another (European) label, Ecolabel, certifies an establishment’s
commitment to protecting the environment. Seven Parisian establishments have been
awarded this label, which is a gauge of the committment to the environment as
Ecolabel celebrates its 20th year of existence this year. The Accor group, for its part,
has chosen an official eco-label for the manufacture of its bed linen, and has created
its own environmental charter. As for the ISO 9001 certification, it assures quality,
reinforced by the ISO 14001 standards that focus on the continued improvement of
environmental performance. Also of note, the specific involvement of ADEME (French
Environment and Energy Management Agency) with 30 or so voluntary hotel managers,
who share the objective of receiving the Ecolabel.

> Camping in Paris: under canvas in the forest
Pitch your tent in Paris or park your caravan under the stars — it can be done! The
French capital has a huge campsite in the Bois de Boulogne. An inexpensive bucolic
solution. And even more so as Huttopia, the specialist in eco-friendly camping, has
taken over the site and implemented huge renovation work and a five-million-euro
investment (replanting with new vegetation, replacement of all current rented

accommodation with caravans, cottages and tents in canvas and wood). The new
campsite will become the flagship of the Indigo brand, the group’s most ‘eco-friendly’
brand. The number of places will be reduced from 500, the current number, to 410.
Another piece of good news: the campsite will stay open during renovation work.

> Hotels for non-residents: for a few drinks and clubbing
Hotels are great places to stay but for those who can’t afford to stay in them, there are
some good ways of enjoying these select places. You can, for example, go and have a
drink in some of these wonderful places and sometimes listen to music there.
Panoramic bars, piano bars, concerts, cocktails (mixology), and even clubbing (with
e.g. ‘Red Hours’ at the Plaza Athénée), hotel bars are becoming more and more
popular places and more inventive in order to attract another type of clientele. The
latest initiative to date: ‘Suite n°7, a series of private concerts at palaces ... A
confidential event that has been taking place once a month since September 2012 in
Paris and in the provinces, and which was launched with an acoustic set by the band
Great Mountain Fire, at the Crillon.
Other hotels go even, further making their establishments lively open places conducive
to socializing and partying. Mama Shelter with its huge lobby comprising several bar
and restaurant areas was certainly a pioneer of this idea. In February 2012, it was
joined by the W Opéra, an American establishment, intended to bring the vibrant
energy of New York to the Opéra district. The W lounge bar features a black lacquered
bar. The place to enjoy cocktails, DJ sets and live music.

> Youth hostels: convivial and cheap
Paris is part of the world network of youth hostels which continues to grow. The capital
now has some 20 hostels, comprising more than 2,000 beds. They are managed by nonprofit making associations, a fact that guarantees attractive prices. What’s more this
accès gratuit NEW ! inauguration, réouverture
coup de cœur
13
Dossier « Paris art de vivre » / Paris hébergement - 2013 - Office du Tourisme et des Congrès de Paris – 1/10/2013
accommodation is not reserved for young people or party goers; they are a cheap and
convivial alternative to other types of accommodation. At less than 25 euros, guest
rooms at these hostels offer basic comfort with or without a private bathroom, and
amenities such as Internet access, launderette, breakfast, etc. The majority of Paris’s
20 or so hostels are affiliated to a group or network like HipHopHostels, whilst Saint
Christopher’s Inn, at the end of La Villette basin, has more than 350 beds and plans to
open another hostel in 2013 near to the Gare du Nord.
Accommodation centres for young people are also present in the capital. These not
only offer competitively-priced accommodation for individuals or groups of young
people, they also offer cultural and sporting events. The MIJE network is in a central
location, near to the Seine, and offers low-cost accommodation in magnificent
mansions. Fine, well-situated and inexpensive, that too exists in Paris.

> Couch surfing: at the home of a Parisian friend
Couch surfing is another popular trend in accommodation: it is the ideal solution for a
convivial and authentic stay at an affordable price! The principle is for free
accommodation to be provided for one or more people in a Parisian home with the
offer of a sofa, a bedroom, a place to pitch your tent, or even a meal or a coffee!

> Staying in a hotel with your pet
Some Parisian hotels accept dogs and other pets. Ask when you make your reservation.
Establishments can ask for a fee of €5 to €15. The majority of hotels are very
welcoming towards animal friends. Establishments are required by law to accept guide
dogs.

> Accommodation for disabled people: welcoming everyone!
For several years, the ‘Tourism & Handicap’ label has been making access to tourist
sites and amenities easier for physically disabled people. In 2012, more than 200 sites

all categories, including one on the Champs-Elysées, and one next to the Eiffel Tower.

> Unusual accommodation: crazy Paris!
Paris will always be Paris … but Paris is not a Sleeping Beauty. Paris is a creative city
bursting with new innovative and crazy ideas.
Tokyo has for a long time had its ‘love’ hotels (more than 7,000!); the first Parisian
Love Hôtel has rooms to rent by the hour! And a gîte offers basic comfort in a former
snail factory, where a swimming pool has been created in its vaulted cellar: welcome
to Thermas Loft. As for the Hôtel Kube (Murano group), in the Barbès district, it
transforms traditional hotel codes into an amazing mix of luxury, services and
technology. Tucked away behind a gate in a quiet street, it houses Paris’s first ice bar.
And finally, to sleep in a levitating bed, opt for the hotel Seven. Each room offers a
unique experience and atmosphere.
