What guests report

View

Rooftop offers intimate sunset views of Pigalle toward Montmartre rather than panoramic vistas; feels cinematic and private

Bed & mattress

High-quality, very comfortable beds that guests consistently praise; exceptional comfort for sleep

Bathroom & water

Exceptionally spacious (unusual for Paris hotels with two guests fitting simultaneously); excellent water pressure; heated bathroom floors; luxury amenities including Diptyque products

Breakfast

Exceptional quality with beautiful visual presentation; copious, savory, delicious options curated by pastry chef Stéphanie LeQuellec; standout chocolate mousse dessert

Local knowledge

Request the Dalí Suite if available—it features subtle surrealist design that feels creative and refined without being gimmicky.

Don't skip the rooftop—it offers an intimate, cinematic view of Pigalle toward Montmartre at sunset rather than a flashy panorama.

Ask staff for restaurant and club reservations during check-in; concierge team (Laura, Louella, Valentin) proactively helps with local reservations.
