A chic hotel room down a calm street in the trendy district of Le Marais – this location is very hard to beat. This is a double room which is great for two couples or a family, with a communal area to hang out in. We love the sophisticated decor that's colonial and luxurious in style and the little touches like the cheetah reading light and velvet fabrics. Downstairs guests will find a lounge room with a bar to enjoy a drink or a coffee in. If you're planning a quick stop over in Paris, or just prefer hotels over houses then this is a great choice.

Home truths:
* The lift isn't currently working so we'd suggest packing light and preparing for a climb
* It's a duplex with some internal stairs that are quite steep
* The views aren't the most inspiring
* The rooms and communal areas feel a little dark
* The kitchenette has no hob so it's really just a tea and coffee station
