Hôtel Emile

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Prepare to be dazzled – literally. Retro B&W, geometrically patterned carpets, curtains, wallpapers and drapes dress this chic hotel, wedged between boutiques and restaurants in Le Marais. Pricier 'top floor' doubles look out over Parisian roofs and chimney pots. Breakfast (included in the price) is on bar stools in the lobby; open the cupboard to find the 'kitchen'.
