Hôtel de la Place des Vosges

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Dating from the 16th century, this superbly situated property is a hop and a skip from sublime place des Vosges. Ancient wood beams and exposed stone inject heaps of character into the hotel, which has 16 rooms, including studios (with pull-out beds for families) and a two-bedroom loft apartment sleeping five people, piled up on six floors.
