These days design hotels are so widespread as to be almost commonplace, and art hotels are no longer the novelty they once were. So what’s next? One attempt at an answer comes in the form of the Apostrophe Hotel, which styles itself the world’s first “poem hotel” — an idea that’s so perfectly Parisian it’s difficult to imagine it existing anywhere else.
Between the two of them, the architect Vincent Bastié and the interior designer Sandrine Alouf are responsible for such contemporary Parisian classics as the Murano, the Five, and the Five’s little sister, the One. Here, together with the painter Catherine Feff, they’ve created an experience that makes the typical boutique hotel look positively dowdy by comparison. Text and other graphic elements line the walls, rooms pursue themes and motifs to their logical ends, and even the basics, the fixtures and furnishings, step away from the minimalist design-boutique norm.
In truth it’s simply a very stylish high-design boutique hotel, which sets itself apart by choosing exuberance where others would opt for restraint. Services, in traditional boutique style, are rather minimal, fitting for a sixteen-room hotel — the surrounding area of St.-Germain-des-Prés offers everything a guest could possibly need.

What I liked:
Such lovely, pleasant, helpful folks at the front desk. As far as the rooms - it's really all about the shower ... fantastic. Regular rooms are tiny (even by Paris standards) but quite clean and have a bit more than the typical 3 star amenities. Have stayed in many Paris hotels - this one is fairly priced for quality and location, and stands out among similar hotels in that neighborhood.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing. It's not the best hotel in Paris, but it's very good for what it is. They do a lovely job. I'll keep it as a backup hotel and would definitely return.

What I liked:
Located centrally in District 6, we recently stayed at the Apostrophe Hotel in our first ever visit to Paris. We booked the reservation through Tablet Hotels, which featured this boutique hotel for its PLUS members. This hotel is very small, with only a few dozen rooms and tucked away on a side street close to a busy tourist area with lots of restaurants nearby. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly woman named Isabelle (who turned out to be the owner) and promptly checked us in. The room was unique, clean and very small (but we expected this after being in Europe for a week already) with a LIGHT themed room! We enjoyed playing with the lights which created really cool shadows! Later we found out, all the rooms have their own unique themes. The hotel is very quiet except you may be awaken by the garbage trucks early in the morning.
As part of the Tablet PLUS promotion, we were allowed early check in, a daily refresh of Parisian chocolates, a complimentary bottle of champagne and free WI-FI. If you need internet access for more than 1 device, just ask at the lobby and you can extra codes. They honoured everything mentioned without any problems.
We had heard not to expect great service in Paris and this was true for some of the places, but the staff at Apostrophe was the exception, especially Gino. They offers lots of suggestions for places to eat, things to do and tips on how to get around. If they didn't know an answer, they looked it up. A huge tip we got from Isabelle was the Paris Museum Pass, which for a fixed price (either for a 2 or 4 day pass) gets you access to the top museums, art and historical venues.
One thing that took some getting used to, was giving the room key to the front desk every time you leave and asking for it back, upon return. We were told this was a Paris thing though.
