“No two rooms are the same” — any hotel with even a modicum of personality is likely to include such a phrase somewhere in its promotional literature, and it is bound to be true, at least to some degree, of any hotel selected by Tablet (though there may be a Japanese capsule hotel in our future). Then again, no two snowflakes are the same either, and that's not exactly a compelling argument for sleeping in the snow, is it?
That said, in L'Hôtel's case, it really is true. The rooms really are all different, vastly different, so different they seem to belong to separate hotels or even continents. The Barroco is in Italian Baroque style, the Pagode in an antique Japanese theme, the Léopard is finished in leopard-print fabrics, and the Oscar Wilde is in a traditional English style, a partial reconstruction of Wilde's dining room in London, featuring framed letters from the staff urging him to settle his hotel bill (which he did not live to do). All of this is carried off with a charm and a mastery that elevates it above gimmickry, into the category of real character, of personality.
Personality, after all, is what makes a hotel a Tablet hotel — not 24-hour room service, or indoor pools, or other standard five-star amenities. What cookie-cutter chain hotel can match L'Hôtel's central spiral staircase, into which sunlight pours through a domed glass ceiling, or the Roman-style bath, housed in the vault beneath the hotel?
There is a restaurant, and a good one — not a three-star spectacle of a restaurant, but an excellent one anyway. Le Restaurant exists not as a public relations scheme, or as a way for the hotel to maximize food and beverage profits, but as a service to its patrons — remarkable food, French but totally modern and light. This restaurant is as popular with the locals as the bar is with celebrities.
Fitting, as the hotel is not designed as a self-contained experience, but as a complement to the attractions of the surrounding district. L'Hôtel is located in St. Germain-des-Prés, the heart of the Rive Gauche, within easy reach of the Ecole des Beaux Arts and innumerable art galleries, cafés, and boutiques. It would be quite reasonable to claim that this is the best location in Paris for a hotel; for those interested in experiencing the authentic Paris, there is no better place to start.
In fact, if this were a boring corporate mega-hotel, the neighborhood alone would make it worth visiting. But this is a phenomenal hotel, full of life and character, and the combination of location and execution make L'Hôtel the place to stay in Paris, and, quite possibly, the perfect Tablet hotel.

PERFECT RESTING SPOT AND PLACE TO STAY IN PARIS

Everything - the room we stayed in was as beautiful as it was displayed in the photos. The location was perfect - the Louvre and Notre Dame were both short walking distances away. The staff was very friendly, kindly spoke English, and went out of their way to make our stay so memorable that we are looking forward to coming back.I Disliked

The rooms were of a, little heavy, but very romantic deco. I loved the bathroom and the lobby was great.I Disliked
Maybe a valet parking facility would be good
Flawlessly shabby-chic

I've stayed in many hotels in Paris. This is the first hotel I can say could not be anywhere else in the world. It is quintessentially Paris. Steeped in history, charm, and more than a bit of gothic romance - this hotel has more character than any ten other hotels you can find combined. The service is spectacular. There were things about the room that would have bothered me in other hotels (such as very dim lighting throughout the room and bath, no full-length mirror) but I was so charmed by this hotel, I didn't care. They have shabby-chic so well down that they even know where to let the upholstery fray. The ability (open to all hotel guests) to privately reserve the roman bath (in a cave-like setting, lit with candles) and steam is a lovely touch.I Disliked
The steam room could use a bit of attention - but nothing drastic. The setting of the roman bath area makes up for it. My only real complaint is that this hotel was too romantic to have been there by myself and only for one night. I look forward to returning for a truly romantic visit!

Location Location Location! Also the included continental breakfast was perfect.I Disliked
The rooms are packed with furniture, some of it unnecessary, using up what little space there is. The room is a bit banged and battered and could easily use with some 'freshening up.'11 user(s) found this review helpful
